Mayday!

...aaaaand it's the first of May, so it's officially summer. Woo! Not that it really matters since I'm a working woman now, but still, it's nice to wake up to sunshine in the mornings. I spent my first day of May with none other than Mr. Hamilton, he came up to visit since I was on my lonesome in the apartment, what with Anne and Peavoy gone a-gallivanting. We had an awesome time - movies and wine last night, and we went to the aquarium today and drew fish. It was so much fun! It's just a pity he couldn't stay longer. :( Oh well, after his reaction to my lovely apartment I'm sure he'll be back again soon!

I visited Dad in hospital this morning (Andy went off for a wander around Salthill while I was there), he's coming home for his weekly break from the treatment on Tuesday. Then I drove from the hospital back to Salthill - and some stupid bitch in a Jeep opened her door just as I drove past, I nearly knocked it clean off. God dammit!

On Friday night I went to see Toby Kaar playing the Roisin with Grace. It was so much fun, and he played all my favourites - except Bread! I would've been disappointed if it wasn't for the fact that I enjoyed it so much. I introduced myself after the gig, he's a lovely guy and said I can use his music for my showreel if I want. Score! I'll probably use either Mexico or Bayleaf, depending on what suits it better. I met him in Kelly's a few hours later, I was locked, and I think I gave out to him for not playing Bread. Oops! I was in Kelly's with the Morley cousins for Barry and Darragh's birthday, it was a fun night! Grace came with me and got on like a house on fire with my cousins. Of course she did - she's awesome!

I think I'm gonna go crawl into bed with my laptop and watch some crappy sitcoms, and then sleep for a long time. Night night.

Welcome to the world of tomorrow!

Wahey! We are online! The NTL guys arrived yesterday to install our wonderfully fast broadband, I hardly know myself!

I'm in the apartment by myself at the moment, John is in Dublin and Anne is cycling in Connemara with her sister. John's coming back today though, I'm meeting him in town for lunch I think.

I can't believe I have a whole week off left... this is crazy! What the hell am I going to do with myself?!

That's what a fool believes

My posts are becoming increasingly sparse due to my lack of internet at home. HOWEVER, the NTL installation person is coming to bestow access to the world wide web upon us on Tuesday. Yay! Until then, I am currently posting from my parents' house.

Dad is back in hospital getting his interferon treatment. It started  last Thursday, and he'll be back out of hospital in a month. It's gonna be weird having him in there for so long, but sure it needs to be done.

I went to visit Andy in Meath the other day. It was so nice, we just sat out in the sun, then watched a ridiculous amount of TV, had some beers and chilled out. It was just the relaxing break I needed, I came back feeling like I'd had a holiday, even though it was only one night.

I was out last night with Adah, Shauna, Ethan and Adah's mate Fiona.... in Tuam. Yep, Tuam. It was... interesting. Ah no, it was lovely to get to go out with the cousins, even if the club we went to was an absolute hell-hole. Well, what did I expect, in fairness?!

I like this picture. It's cute.

Oh, the guy who let me use his music for my disaster of a fourth year film, Toby Kaar, is playing the Roisín this Friday. I'm gonna pop along to see his gig because his music is awesome and I'd like to say hi and thank him for letting me use the track. I'm looking forward to it!

Also, Russell is coming to Galway with his girlfriend! How mad is that!? He sent me a message on Facebook last week saying they're going to London, and will probably come to Galway shortly afterwards. I was so shocked, I can't wait to see him again and meet his lady! Woo!

I think that's all the news I have for now. I'll write again when I get internet in the apartment! Welcome to 2011, Claire!

I heart redheads!

Another thing I love, apart from bassists and androgynous girls, is gingers. Particularly these ones!


Josh Homme

Dear lord. This man is beautiful.





Domhnall Gleeson

Just discovered this one recently. Extra points for being Bill Weasley.




Hayley Williams

Probably not a natural redhead, but I'd love to look like this woman.

Sneak peek!

It's been ages since I wrote!

I'm at home in my parents' house at the moment, but I have started my new job and moved into my new house. And it's awesome! The show we're working on is called Joe and Jack (formerly Jo and Jack but it appears to have been changed), the following ad was in Kidscreen magazine today so I feel it's probably okay to re-post it on my blog. Hopefully.... 

Isn't it cute? It's so fun to animate such sweet characters. No crazy mecha for Claire.It's Margie's anniversary tomorrow...  I can't believe it's been a year already. Christ. So we have a mass and stuff to go to tomorrow.

That's about it for now, I'm tired.

I heart androgyny 3

Ooooh!

I wish I could dress like this!

I want!

Ch-ch-check it out - awesome Secret of Kells watercolours! Oh the prettiness!

Sigh... so beautiful!
