I had a superfun birthday in Ireland. The snow let up fairly quickly, then it snowed again, then it stopped minutes before we departed for city centre. The rest of the day was beautiful.
On Friday we went back into town and visited the Glasnevin Cemetary. A tour that was supposed to happen, didn’t (big surprise), so we simply wandered around, admiring the wide variety of tombstones. Afterwards, we met up with Dee for dinner at the Metro Cafe, and the three of us saw Capote. I’ve officially seen more movies in my short time in Ireland, than I have in the five or six months preceding. Let’s go over the list:
-
Breakfast on Pluto
Brokeback Mountain
Memoirs of a Geisha
Walk the Line
Jarhead
Capote
I blame the damn movie trailers. Every time I think I’m seeing the last interesting movie playing in Dublin, some trailer pops on the screen and looks really interesting. Now, it’s V for Vendetta. Yes, I know it’s the Wachowski Brothers, but it looks really cool ^_^
Capote was goood, by the way.
On Saturday, Bonnie and I went to Cashel, best known for the Rock of Cashel, and the ruins which sit atop it. We stayed over at a lovely hostel (made lovelier by our lovely room, with a lovely view of the ruins of Hore Abbey), and bussed to Cahir the next morning, to see Cahir Castle and a beautiful old cottage which was (surprise surprise) not open this time of year. Still, it was pretty from afar.
A long bus ride home, followed by a long(ish) night on Skype, chatting with James about the new direction for Scratch. I think the name is staying. The best part of working with James is when we agree on something name-related. He still hates the name sqube, but it’s here to stay.

Sorry i’ve been using this to contact you scott, but e-mails aren’t coming through for some reason. It’s really strange, i just try and reply to your e-mails and get a daemon error from your mail server.
But i recieved your directions. It’s possible i’ll be on the same flight as bonnie’s friend. We’re taking ryanair via edinburgh to come see you.
I will continue to contact you in this fashion if these gdmn e-mails keep failing.
Good blog btw.

Eek. I’ve only just discovered that my Bard e-mail address has been bouncing back e-mails. I deleted some larger files in order to solve the problem, but I think that’s the end of my using my Bard e-mail for anything important. Sorry, Johnny. But thanks for bringing it to my attention. See you soon. -sj
