i've got very little to do and i've put off writing emails to the few people i've got on with for a very long time, so here i am instead, writing emotionless prose to an internet journal which will be lucky if it darkens the phospur glow of someones crt monitior...
my recent life after university has turned out to be incredibly uninteresting in the "big news" sort of way...i.e didn't buy a house, apartment, car, holiday or get eaten by a defrosted dinosaur)... . Those who said things would be an adrelaline fueled rollarcoster with large explosions and cameo apperances from various 80's t.v. stars, obviously lied. the horrible truth reveals itself
With unabriged confidence that such introspection provides, I've just left Dublin last month and moved to london, currently looking for a job, but this is the first week of the search so i'm kind of taking it easy (ie getting up late, spending the day in the cinema and the national gallery..that kind of thing) Any advice much appreciated (for instance; how do deal with annoying cockneys? i was thinking of buying a pearly jacket, dying my teeth black and speaking like dick van dyke in 'mary poppins'...good move/bad move? what do you think?)
Really had to get out of Dublin. After a hard two year slog there i'd discovered a serious truth about the place i.e. that it's a rinky dink circus whose primitive provencialism stinks.(ohh steady tiger) It considers itself a world city yet the first day the LUAS opened (dublin's new two track light rail system) it was like rush hour in bombay, people sitting on the roof and hanging from the doors, i mean come on people!......it's only a bloody tram. A typical case of dublin's overestimation of itself.
Anyway glad to be out, i quit my job which driving me up the wall but was usefull for the experience and have decided to make a break for it. The bright lights and good gig guides of london have enticed me rather like the marzipan on the remanents of a cristmas cake in the dregs of early january (obviously i'm still working on my methaphors here).
Anyway thats about all i can think of for the moment, i've kinda typed myself into a standstill here, So apologies for the incredibly scatty nature of this my first enty (and probably my last) I blame all theat coffee i just drank.
You might like to consider joining the SGUK group. You can meet lots of London folk there and they have regular meet (read: piss) ups.
