Reflecting Upon the merits of reading... ok not really, here I read some stuff tho'... fo'sho'

Ahhh my darling darling friends... Musings, first an apology, I too have neglected summarizing Daly's blog... a damned shame! Daly, though I have failed to summarize your jaunts, I have never failed to read about them and felt pangs of envy but mostly nostalgia at the remembrance of our trips through the fringe and of course our friends, The Penny Dreadfuls.

Alas, why such prose? I've been doing well with my literary challenge! Yup, I just finished Jane Eyre, which was great, seriously half way through I thought OMG you guys she is totally not going to end up with this Rochester fella and thought it was sooooo frikkin cool of Charlie Bronte to be so forward thinkin, for her time like, but then I read on and was like yeh deadly they're totally goin to hook up and I was pure glad.

So that was a good read, then I leaned over my bed (I have the books I have to read on the floor and they are only placed on my shelf upon their completion). I picked up Little Women and thought umm maybe and then I was like, what's that blue one under there and picked up W.B. Yeat's plays, horrified I replaced this immediately and decided to read Little Women, I had picked it up first, after all. Anywho I'm not even half way through Little Women yet and I have already laughed and cried, the laughing out loud, the crying, on my bed tears rolling down my cheeks at the idea of the old man missing his granddaughter... sniff, so yeah, it's a great book I started it today and will probably finish it tomorrow then I don't know what I'll read, do I start in on the Quran or do I leave that until the end... no idea.

I'm going to Montreal on Wednesday, I can't wait, basically I'm starving myself and doing nothing to ensure I can shop, drink and eat brunch when I get there. (Hancock wants to shop, Fleming to drink and I to brunch, well obviously we all want to do all three but primarily I'm about pain perdu, nahmeeeen, as that girl said in Scary Movie 2 or 1, when she goes to University and she's being taught to be tougher... you know what I'm talking about, I think they're sitting at a fountain... "that jacket is tight, yo"... anywhooooo

I bought little Lucy a denim jacket... as her godmother I see it as my duty to ensure that she is cool, you can't start on this soon enough!
Ok so off I go to discover what the Pickwick Club have written and place Jane Eyre on its earned space on my shelf.

toodles,
reflections.

Sidetracked.....

okay so,one has gotten slightly sidetracked about bloging daly's blog...........quick update.......daly goes to fringe fest,has a great time,ponders over various aspects......
but back to me.....
my own personal blog on daly's blog and indeed my literary challange has now been pushed aside by the fact that i am now in asia.....though i have been ploughing through the girl with the dragon tattoo and its quite good for passing away a few hours on an air asia flight!

so ya,asia,eh?
we have done 5 airports in 5 days,its like having a rock n roll lifestyle,jetting from one place to the other but without the rock n roll,sex and drugs,.....for now at least!
so dublin to abu dhabi to bangkok to ho chi minh city to hanoi.......this travelling malarky is exhausting.

we didnt see much of abu dhabi,very sandy from what i could see on from the plane/airport,we were just glad to get off the plane,as lets just say an irish guy two rows up from us has drank alot of guinness/ate a lot of beans.............not pleasant!
it was also ramahdan in abu dhabi so we felt a bit scared to do anything out of place like eat,drink,laugh..........be women.

then to bangkok........we basically napped for the entire time we were there but we are gona tap that on the way back!

and for the moment hanoi,in vietnam where facebook is inaccessible and the city is mental.....
actually crazy.......in a good way!

tomorrow sight seeing the shit out of it to make the most of our time!
until then.....

adieu.

Daly's challenged..........musings part.1

soooooo,i read the first book in my version of daly's challanged.......mills&boon, " a colby christmas"........read it in about two hours.......
now,i wasnt flicking through the pages to get to the raunchy parts or anything......(of which there were few).......
i have to say,i was disappointed by the lack of intercourses in this book....there were no throbbing members and there were no heaving bosoms.....i mean i could just have read a regular book......and where's the fun in that?
though there were a few innuendo's(in.ur.endos).......which all symbolised erections,something about all the blood rushing to one spot....i mean,seriously.......
i give this book a "C-" im afraid *could have done better*

also in daly's newest blog she bemoans people who get things done......so is she hating on herself then?
because daly is the person who has things organised 15 years in advance.......when she was going to toronto she had packed two weeks beforehand,and i know that she had planned what she was going to pack about a month in advance before she actually gave in to the packing.
im sure she had to hold herself back,repress the urge not to pack......it possibly brought her out in cold sweats......sleepless nights also possibly.

also,why is there a random irish word thrown in the blog, it has no place there.....like a prom night baby in a dumpster,there are better places for it.but she does admit that this is an aimless meander......meadering aimlessly through the blog wilderness of aimless meanders...........
but i digress.......

in the final note,she asks
"is it better to be busy and productive or to live in a controlled environment with the ability to say no…it’s a toughie"........

my head begins to ache at the thought of trying to figure this one out........
by controlled environment does she mean like,a cage?

can cage fighters say no?is it in their vocabulary after one too many hits to the noggin?
but are cage fighters not busy and productive,rolling out punches everynight?

ah,these morality questions......they make u think.....

adieu.
