Why so serious?

If you haven't already seen it....GO! You all know what I am talking about.....Batman? The man of Bats? The bat of men? or something.... Truly AMAZING. I went to see this on Saturday night and it really was a great film. The film itself definitely was not as good as Batman Begins but thats what not makes it such a brilliant watch. Heath Ledger's performance as Joker is outstanding!

Miles from Jack Nicholson's take on the role the older Batman, Ledger takes the role to the shadows, where even what's comic is hardly a relief. No plastic mask for Ledger; his face is caked with moldy makeup that highlights the red scar of a grin, the grungy hair and the yellowing teeth of a hound fresh out of hell.

To the clown prince of crime, a knife is preferable to a gun, the better to "savor the moment."
“Do you want to know why I use knives…? Because guns are too quick.”

Brilliant

Well deserved break!

Friday the 25th July....GOOGLEFEST 2008 came to town! We finished up work at about 4pm to head to the google summer party, and what a night it was going to be. Hosted by Shelbourne Park GAA track, it was like a mini electric picnic! With bands playing, a silent disco, food, beer (free beer), fun and games it was destined to be a cracking night from the outset. Entertainment on the night was by the Delorentos and Vertigo (U2 tribute act). It was great fun...

Come the weekend and whilst all my colleagues were nursing hangovers dreading work on Monday, I knew I was off for the week...THATS RIGHT, A WEEK OFF!! WOOP WOOP! Although im back in the office now, its not too bad. I got to spend a week chilling out and enjoying the lack of work! We headed to Newry on Monday morning and I picked up a nice pair of waterproof (Gortex apparently,) gloves for the bike and a pair of padded trousers from Hein Gerrike...I love that store! Myself and Caoimhe also did a shop in Sainsburys! Like a real life Jamie Oliver!

Tuesday, we headed to Kilmainham Jail. Although Caoimhe lived right next to it and she had been before, for me, this was my first visit and I thoroughly enjoyed it. What a fascinating place with a fascinating history!

Wednesday was Tattoo day. We went to town, got drunk, ate food, went shopping and both got tattoos! Ill post pictures again! :) (When the heal and stop looking like scabs....)

What a great time being off, the rest of the week was truly spent relaxing with a few drinks in the evening, a lie in the next morning and walks on the beach with the dog. A great great week :)
