Christmas 2011 - New Years 2012

Around this time of year I like to include as many buzzwords as possible to increase our readership....to entice people to read the blog under false pretences......for example somebody googles Christmas (buzzword number 1) and lo and behold our blog might turn up on the 16th page of the google search.

This person thinking that they are going to read about Christmas gets drawn in and instead gets to read about Daly (and indeed her own blog about Christmas and the cruel disregard of the Christmas one-eyed angel....I mean have parents not seen Toy Story?!THEY COME TO LIFE PEOPLE!)

Once folks have been enraptured by tales of Daly they are further thrown into a bottomless pit of literary genius as composed by myself and my compadre reflections. (Watch the bookshelves in 2012 for our long awaited erotic novella).

Christmas this year in the musings household was relatively peaceful. There was the obligatory show down with the mother three days before Christmas but the day itself was filled with a beautiful alcohol induced sense of well being. Also things were made easier this year by not being housebound by snow and escaping at every available opportunity.

What I was most thankful for was the fact that I have a tv in my room at the homestead. I'm all about the family time but I draw the line at having to watch fair city or another episode of only fools and horses that we have ALREADY WATCHED 20 TIMES.........!I managed to get in my quota of Christmas films like all four Indiana Jones, all three Back to the Futures, about four Harry Potters, two Bourne films and the same scene in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe three times (the one where they meet Liam Neeson).

New years eve (buzzword number 2) was uneventful. Unlike last years with the whole almost dying in a house fire. Not sure which was worst, the almost dying of smoke inhalation(which in fairness I slept through) or almost dying of boredom at the yawnest party ever (which I actually had to endure).

And so that brings us to 2012 (buzzword 3). 2012.......wow. I figure there is no point in making resolutions (buzzword 4). Though I do want to get back on track with my five holidays a year plan. (Also am watching the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe for the third time, Edward was like c'mon horsey and the horse was like my name is Philip.....love that part.oooooh, Liam Neeson is about to face off against the White Witch. OMG there should be a Face Off II where Liam Neeson and the White Witch swap faces.....that would be amazeballs.....going to turn over now though caus I don't like the bit where they kill the fake Liam Neeson).

So, the new year (buzzword 5). Have to say 2011 was pretty generous to me, cept for that time in August when I almost had a meltdown caus I hadn't taken a week off work in 9mths. This is why the five holidays a year programme needs to get back on track this year!

What will the year bring?hopefully lots of health, hope, love, happiness, wealth and five holidays a year. I don't think it's too much to ask 2012.

And one last buzzword for our favourite readers...... Vodka. Which I also hope 2012 is full of!

holy moses batman.........

this shall henceforth be a two part blog post.............
the first part shall be a retort to daly's blog on her recent trip to see the new Harry Potter(with yours truly)
the second part shall refer to the title of this blog post,in which i almost got recruited by overly zealous religious youth and have only just recovered enough to write about my ordeal.......
anyhews...................

sooooo,i made the trip over to the lovely Edinburgh to see Daly!(thank you €22 ryanair flight!)whoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoopwhoop.
there was wine and song and much loudness,so much so that Daly can no longer go back to a certain pub....or restaurant.....ahem......jeez,if they cant take a joke(or two friends who havent seen each other in ages and like to laugh uncontrollably at rude,dirty and inappropriate things).

We also queued(ridiculously early) to see the new Harry Potter!
Now,i have read the books and remember the majority of the story,but im not going to remember the insy weensy details like Ciara "photographic memory" Daly..........
so i was not bothered that they left out parts,i realy enjoyed the film and it meant 2 and half hours of complete escapism(to a world where i could be a witch and where gingers are attractive).......
ah to be 50 years younger eh,i would SO tap that.............mmmmmmmmm.


And so,to the second part of the blog......my escape from the religious loons.
I can only think the reason i avoided their brainwashing was through the sheer filthiness of my own mind.
I came across the cult whilst having dinner in the same vicinity..............i had wine and reacted the only way i know how.......by routing the conversation to be about myself and by being sarcastic.

Afterwards i felt an incredible urge to do something illegal........and dirty.........and wrong............
maybe i shall wait for a reflections-musings-daly-moloney reunion for that...........ladies,ye're mission should ye choose to accept it............................

The one where I go on holidays.........

i confess,it has been three months since my last holiday.........
so this week,i am off to Edinburgh,to see Daly!
i wonder if i could put it down as a working holiday,daly being the source of much of our blog........maybe get expenses...........must confer with my partner in crime........reflections?

so last year,being a slow holiday year,i aimed to get in five holidays in 2010.my trip to Edinburgh shall be my fourth holiday,so im going to have to fit in a sneaky holiday before the end of the year in order to fulfill the promise of five holidays that i made to myself.And i'd hate to let myself down........

Though,i did visit three different countries on the last holiday(did i mention it was in South East Asia?)so im undecided as to whether i should add that to my holiday tally...........
if i did add it,that would mean that i went on six holidays this year,and that just sounds a bit pretentious..........just because i was on like three different continents or whatever,im still down with the recession and people only being able to afford like one holiday to Spain or something.

Also,i've been working now for like 6 weeks or something atrocious like that,without a break so am in dire need of a city break.

Even better,i get to observe Daly in her natural habitat........which shall be later compiled ala David Attenborough style documentary and blogged.........("and so the male mounts the female"......................).

Its great that with good friends you know,no matter how long its been since you have seen them that within 20 seconds its like you have never been apart and are talking about life/trying to give each other wedgies/discussing nuclear science(poo is nuclear,right?).

And we are going to see the new Harry Potter!
I wonder if Daly is open to bringing a bottle of wine into the cinema............?
Also,how cold is it in Edinburgh at the moment?
Thermal granny underpantaloons?yay or nay?

ah,the dilemma's of a jet setting lifestyle..........................
