Much Ado About Corsets......
I mused over what to call this blogpost, which of course is inspired by Daly's own blog.....several idea's sprang to mind.....
1. Daly, The Victorian Whoremonger.
2. Coming out of the Corset.
3. The Corset and the Tramp.
Admittedly the first title came to me almost immediately, but in the end I said nay.
In her travels about Glasgow, Daly buys a corset. We can gather from the blogpost that this shop isn't strictly all corsets. I was left intrigued as to what the "rubber and section" entailed.
Did she mean to say "rubber hand section"? If so, the mind boggles at what sort of sadistic sex game involves rubber hands......but whatever you are into eh?
*queue image of Daly in a corset holding a pair of rubber hands*
It all feels very Gothic. And I mean Gothic as in Victorian London, Jekyll and Hyde, Dracula....not Gothic as in too much black eyeliner(which actually was a phase that Daly went through).
At the end of the day corsets are cool, getting naked is cool.....why not combine the two for some happy naked corset time? Throw in some rubber hands and you've made a night out of it.Throw in some chicken wings with a jack daniel sauce and I for one am there.
So go forth Daly and conquer that corset. We support you,much like your corset.
I wonder how hard it would be to make a corset of one's own? How hard could it be? Bit of cardboard, some whale bone, bit of double sided sticky tape.....bob's your corset......right?hmmm, i sense a money making scheme in the works....

Daly has piles............
Anyhews...........new and exciting updates from the world of musings.............my life partner, reflections has vacated back down to the south to reflect on writings and all things dramaturgilocial.........though she has promised to take me clubbing on her return to the big city so I can get my freak on.........
In the mean time, I resort to "ass watch" which involves me trying to glimpse a look at the cute guy's (from office upstairs) bottom.....which isnt easy to do as suit jackets hide everything,rather inconveniently......so anyday now I am going to "drop" something in his vicinity and watch as he picks it up......in my head it'll be like the diet coke ad.......in real life it'll probably create more carnage than a hedgehog in a condom factory.......and will resemble that scene from legally blonde where she accidentally headbutts him..........
Though it wouldnt be the first time I had a bleeding guy on my hands........but I digress.
So stay tuned for more on "ass watch" my friends...........maybe it could become like crimewatch where I can hire actors to recreate moments where I attempt to see his bottom...........such moments like, that time on the stairs or like that time I tried to act nonchalant caus I is mysterious........an enigma, if you will, wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in a mystery.
Obviously I am living life to the MAX.........and im trying to get started on my first holiday of the year......Im thinking Rome.....with Daly.........but she can leave her piles at home..........what with the whole baggage allowance......piles of books you see......hehehehehehe.........

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

a musing reflection on writing about stuff........
its not because our lives havent been filled with wonderment and excitement.......or because daly hasnt updated her blog(she has,twice.....she loves her iphone and sundays) but its just that my partner and i have a propensity to lose interest in things after a while...........caus we are soooooo
busy,having moved on to the next thing.......obviously.
things we have previously lost interest in:
-going to lectures/college in general when there wasnt an alcoholic beverage involved
-writing an angry letter to cadburys about the decreasing size of creme eggs(there was an alcoholic beverage involved)
-learning a new language(that year spent learning Italian.....ciao,lasagne)
-certain boys(nosebleed guy and an italian lothario to name a few)
though of course there are things that have kept our interest over the years
-home and away(cept for that one time when they had that really stupid story line that went on for months about who was the baby daddy and angie gave him the letter to say he was the dad and he ripped it up,HE RIPPED IT UP,after 9mths of a story line..........it still infuriates me)
-holding grudges(not me personally..........red does suit me,biatches)
-certain friendships(ciara smells)
and of course writing.
personally i have kept a diary from a young age and have seen my writing skills develop from writing about how i hated everyone(i was a dramatic youth) to my greatest work so far: "Truth and Reconciliations Commissions,gender based violence in East Timor".............
stay tuned for my upcoming works:
-a trail of glitter and blood(my autobiography/crime novel)
-the beautiful narcissist(my biography of Ciara M.Daly)
-an as yet unnamed erotic novella ,co-wrote with my partner
its good to write............

long time coming
though daly did go see eat pray love but didnt review it....yet she wrote about it,but said that it wasnt worthy of a review......is that not in itself a review..........review?and she has a picture up of that guy from the ateam...........i pity the fool who doesnt see the connection there........
im confused........*head hurting*
whilst trying to keep busy my pal reflections and i have been trying to think of inappropriate places to drink wine,or appropriate places to drink wine but its frowned upon.......
so who knew the cinema would be a good place,i mean i cant believe we didnt think of it earlier.i cant help but think that eat pray love would have be slightly more tolerable.
we did go to see "the other guys"..........not sure if it was the wine or not but it made me laugh......possibly louder than everyone else in the cinema,other that my partner in crime.
also,handy tip if you are going to drink wine in the cinema..........bring straws........though things get awkward when it drops into the bottle but by that stage u dont care!
i also managed to provide my partner with some chuckles also when after refusing to handle the cinema bathroom door (caus of the cooties)i almost hit myself in the face with the door.........
so next inappropriate place to drink wine..........on a bike?any tips are welcome!
we shall see................there could be some points to concern ourselves with like trying to manoeuvre the bike on the road and the wine to our lips......i feel our friend mr straw might come into play.....
also have learned two new fave phrases over the past few weeks:
"high ten" where u do a high five but with both hands(ingenious)
"shake your willy caus this pissing match is over"(from "the other guys")
i love to learn.

She also asked the question what is brunch when it is after lunchtime Binner or trunch? the answer is... well what exact time did she have it. Brunch goes till 4pm, so after 4pm it's just a case of having french toast for tea... or dinner sorry I just fell asleep writing this I got so bored. My humblest apologies.
before this, as my compadre noted, Daly went through a list of things she loved and apparently we're not on it. Not that I care... I don't care, stop asking me if i care jeese get of my case why would i mind...
Ok so here it is, after a lovely year in Canada, land of polar bears (didn't see any) and maple syrup (man I LOVE maple syrup and yes I even went to a maple farm and saw how it was made but most importantly bought a bottle of the best fecking syrup I have ever tasted), I am now home. I came home for a Christening and then found out my application for a visa was denied and I ummm... well I cried, cos I was sooo sad about it and I loved Canada and my sister sat awkwardly and said shit, ummm shit, I'm shit at this kind of thing... do you want wine? Let's order indian food and have some wine... so we did.
Anywho I rang work to tell them and it was a very short conversation cos I really really thought I was going to cry and I managed not to tell them that I ordered them the present of a kettle (since everyone drank so much coffee and tea) so one of these days they'll receive their mistery kettle, which should be nice.
It is nice to be so close to friends. Here is a basic run down of my first two weeks at home (I'm not going to get too into it)
2nd got home
3rd surprised sister for her birthday (went out and met Henry)
4th family dinner
5th went up north (Banbridge) with sister and new baby
stayed helping and bonding and cooking etc.
12th christening, saw all family
13th met Helen at International Bar (Dublin)
14th went to Waterford to see Trina & Karen
15th back to Dublin Family day (tea, food, tea, film, tea)
16th met up with Jen Carroll
17th Horrible Day of horribleness was at geri's and found out about visa
18th went to tullamore to see Jenny and Eithne
19th Train to Limerick, met Musings, car to New Port met Maz, saw guy who's car with baby in it got stolen (he parked car, locked it, walked away then checked it was locked, guess that's his future) then to pub for free drinks ala Maloney clan
20th Had great time with musings bonding with Mammy Daly who loves us more than Daly, oh the fun times and frolics we had, Limerick with musings, bus back to Dub, out to Blanch to see Davi's band and hang with Jen and Mel.
21st applied for jobs.
So I'm really tired right now and enjoying the house to myself though its crap that I haven't been home yet (Ballyc being home since it has 1. my bed and 2. my stuff). Mammy reflection's laptop is broken, so is mine, so no internet available at home so I have to stay here to apply for jobs... sigh.
I hate looking for work.

catching up......
daly went to the fringe,had a great time,was busy at work,has a vendetta against double spaces and ummm,has read some books.........
i think i have a valid excuse for not writing before now,being in asia and all.i hope to capture the trip in all its pink eyed glory over the next while,mainly caus im now back to blissful unemployment and now have alot of time on my hands.....
so im thinking of 3 blogs,vietnam,laos and thailand......cataloging each trip,and musing on how many times we mentioned daly on our trip,most notably the time we almost missed our train to bangkok but managed to arrive 2mins before the gate closed and we were like "daly would never be able to com on holidays with us"...........caus she would be there 2 hours beforehand......
i shall try to muse on my time in asia,where i spent the month trying to "find myself" but ended up just getting drunk,but if u cant find yourself when drunk,when can u........
also on a literary note,i managed to get in a spot of reading.....mainly caus we went on alot of long journeys......
the one i am most proud of was finishing "the reader" in 2hrs......much to my travelling partner's disgust........as it took her a week.......
if i am musings,my partner is reflections,our inspiration is daly,then my travelling partner shall be referred to as................my lover?
im sure many people thought that we were indeed lesbians over the trip.......i mean if u cant lick ur friends face platonically well then i just dont know!
so i shall try and gather the memories of the trip,though they are already getting a bit hazy...........

Sidetracked.....
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
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.

Daly's challenged..........
so recently i "acquired" two mills and boon books,"a south texas christmas" and "a colby christmas".......as well as a maeve binchy book,"the return journey"..........and a free copy of another book in cosmo called "operation sunshine".......
i also found a book i started 5 months ago(but cant get past chapter 2)"the girl with the dragon tattoo".......aswel as a diary of my travels that i kept from my first really big adventure,which im beginning to think might be more entertaining than the others........though it will probably read like a mills and boon novel anyway..........BOOM!
so can i read these books before daly has read hers?!she has reflected that the edinburgh fringe festival may interfere with the timely reading of these before the winner of the booker prize has been announced..........i'm not going to the fringe but i am going to asia....which is on the proverbial fringe of the world,if u may.......
also none of the books in my challenge are on the list of the booker prize.......though i feel that my own travel diary could make it on to the list some day.........
so there we go!
i probably should start with the book i have already started......but those mills and boon books are drawing me in,especially with a storyline about brad,who is locked in a skyscraper with a doe-eyed receptionist called elaine and FOUR MASKED MEN........*dramatic music*......
off i go on daly's challenge.......
laters.......
Monday, July 26, 2010
In which we realised that daly's blogs all start with "in which"
i feel transported back to the 90's when each episode of friends started with "the one with" when i read daly's blog,where each blog post starts with "in which".......i like it!
its witty,preppy and i look forward to the next blog post "in which" she will muse on muddled miscellaneous musings.
and the fact that i just noticed she does this means that it's subtle,it sneaks up on you.....like herpes.
and i feel the notion will never quite leave me,much again,like herpes.
but back to the essence of the blog in which she reviews a book......something about a guy with ADHD........yada,yada,yada..........
i laughed at the bit where she said she wasnt being sarcastic(caus this is a lie),and i also had a good snigger at the part where he "examines himself"........but thats just me.....
i did pick up on the mention of cuba libre also......it reminded me of the time i was in cuba.......though the first time i had a cuba libre was in brazil,i was on some island,ille grande i do believe............good times......
but back to the blog..........there are alot of words i dont understand and had to look up in my dictionary app,but yet i had anxiously awaited this blog,like i do the next, "in which" there shall be more miscellanous muddles of musing.......
laters.........

How it all began or : The rise of the new stars of blogging and their wonderful fb chat on a warm Summer's eve
Sadly, we lost the beginning of the conversation where we decided to create a blog, merely summarizing Daly’s blog. About how could be piss off Daly, leave stupid comments on her blog? It would be entertaining yet, we felt we were capable of so much more… we created sock tennis after all. And so in the middle of the conversation (on facebook chat) I copied and pasted what was there but the beginning, beautiful, cheeky, borderline bullying (we love her really) is lost to our memories, can’t speak for Musings but mines terrible. So in my case it is lost forever. Here is what we left of the day this blog began:
Musings also have stolen the word musing from Daly's blog!
00:01Reflections bahahhahahhaha
lets steal it all well except talking about Shrek 4 cos Hell I did not go see that movie...
00:02 Musings I think we should do a synopsis of each of her blog posts, as our blog!
As well as our own witty musings.....
00:03Reflections Hahahaha amazing

00:05Reflections This is PERFECT!

She’ll be raging and delighted!
Mostly bitter.

Consider it done!
00:30Musings
We should have done this years ago, but like I said....so busy.

00:42Reflections

You go to design in the top right corner
Then click on ad gadget I'm thinking bottom left and under adsense and then pick your gadget as pictures and then you just upload a picture
maybe once people hear our amazing songs we'll get on...
booo Daly is probs in bed sigh
00:34\Musings

and I can bring back phrases like "fo sho"
and bring the phrase "ass-hag" into mainstream society
ooooh, I think I hear my phone ringing, is that dolly parton on the line.....
00:39Musings
OMG, I know what we need to include, our parody of boob state of mind!
00:55Relfections

01:02Reflections
ummm ok but it has to be an external link unless Daly starts adding bits of her thesis but then everyone has to listen to me harp on about Aussie theatre
01:03Musings
hah! true, but just think on what peeps are missing out on!
01:04Reflections
I know I know also if we had that stuff on there ppl would click on the links and we could makes the dollahs
01:05Musings

01:05Reflections

Musings
