Ohman. I did something really awesome but can't talk about it yet! Worst person ever at keeping secrets; I'm like one of those kids jumping up and down biting the lip because the secret wants out out out. Mnnnggh.

Otherwise... Did I tell you Dez and I went to Achill Island in June (West of Ireland - if you were to keep going west from there you'd have to cross the ocean and it'd be empty until you hit the coast of US - clunk). There are the funkiest sheep scattered all over the island. Hundreds of them. They are on the roads, precariously climbing the cliffs, and in your face. Wonderful creatures. The mountains took my breath away, and the sea... And we saw basking sharks (got a few photos where their fins are visible as well!).

The other weekend, we visited my cousin in Kildare and went to see the Japanese Gardens. I wasn't as impressed as expected; may have something to do with all the kids running around. You know those women who go all "awwww" and "aren't you an adorable kid"? I'm more of the "please get your kids out of the frame already" type. Right. The Japanese part of the Gardens was quite small as well. It was great to see my cousin, though. Hoping to catch some jazz with them soon.

And last weekend, a couple of friends and I went to see an exhibition of Janaina Tschäpe called "Chimera" (well, and a two more exhibitions that weren't as memorable), and saw a movie (Mamma Mia, which I'd never had considered as something to see, but ended up splitting sides laughing), and drank only one mojito. Wahey.

On holiday now, and life is gorgeous. On some days I just want to hug everything.
