"I wanna always feel like part of this was mine, I wanna fall in love tonight" - 'A Praise Chorus' - Jimmy Eat World
Well after a comparatively lengthy gap Darspeak returns. I shall first give a brief synopsis to explain my disappearance before looking at things in a little more detail and time permitting giv a belated version of Dar's weekly awards. So here's what happened, on Friday morning I headed down to Cork and spent the day with Kitt. And we stayed in Cork for the night so I hung about with her some more on Saturday. Then after she went home I had hours and hours to kill by myself before I met up with Rob for the Munster-Connacht match after which myself and Rob drove back to Limerick at some unGodly hour, I chatted to Don for a while cos he's moving out today sadly and then myself and Rob came down town to get some breakfast, he went home and I came into a net place to write this.
So, anyways, I might as well talk about Cork some more. I bought the Dashboard Confessional live album. I stayed in the same B&B that I stayed in a coupla years ago when I got stranded in Cork for the night after heading down to see somebody in hospital and discovering first hand how crap public transport is in this country. I bumped into Brian Patwell who I hadn't seen since May. I had a banana and a muffin for dinner on Friday. I watched some of Cruel Intentions and two episodes of The Simpsons with Kitt. Overall I had a lot of fun with Kitt who makes me laugh sometimes and smile lots. She appeared to like her little present. I appeared to like her hair. Actually, I did like her hair. And her eyes. We sat at the bus-stop in the rain. I left after she got her bus. She texted a coupla minutes later and called me back cos her bus was full. We got something to eat and then went back to the bus-stop. She got her bus this time. I went to the cinema myself. Watched 'The Terminal'. Which isn't bad apart for a decidedly sickly sweet ending. I bought a Spiderman comic and walked out to Musgrave Park. Got their absurdly early. Rob on the other hand, got there rather late. Late enough for me to have read my comic, eaten some junk food and paid into the ground for Munster Vs. Connacht. Where despite my Munster background and address I found myself rooting for Connacht. For a number of reasons. Munster are dirty. Especially the Scottish guy. Also they attract a massive percentage of tossers to their support and I have no desire to be affiliated with such a motley crew of skangers, snobs and bandwagon jumpers. Connacht are the underdogs too. Much like my beloved Limerick FC. Anyway the match was a draw. 27-27. Connacht got robbed.
Anyway before I get to my awards I wanna give a special mention to Don. Who's moving out today. :-( He complains that I never say anything nice about him here so I hope he reads this. Don man, you've been an absolute pleasure to share a house with and out of all the people I've lived with I've probably been closest to you. Obviously we both had our shit to deal with in the last year but I know that you certainly helped me a lot and I hope I did the same for you. Basically you've seen my at my very, very lowest and very, very worst and didn't turn away. That means a lot. You are a truly excellent friend. Anyway, before I get maudlin let's go to:
Dar's Weekly Awards III
Person of the week: The one and only Kitt takes this award and deservedly so after spending a full, unbroken 26 hours or so with me and not screaming once. Which is quite a feat. She's cool. :-)
Honourable mentions: Rob, Niall
Villian of the week: The Referee in last night's match who found 10 minutes injury time and denied poor Connacht a first win over Munster in 18 years.
Day of the week: Friday/Saturday kinda ran together and shall be treated as one super day that easily wins this award.
Invisible Man of the week: Niall even though I saw hime a few times. Bu our own horribly high standards we saw very little of each other this week.
The I can't believe you're still alive person of the week: Rob cos I hadn't seen him in a coupla months until yesterday and he's still great. Good for you Rob!
The Phone person of the week: Kitt, as ever is by far and way in a league of her own in this field. This also makes her the first person to win two awards in one week!
Band of the week: Dashboard Confessional retain this mostly on the strength of their live unplugged album which will probably be a staple of my stereo this week.
Honourable mentions: Blink 182
Workmate of the week: Kalam wins this again by a whisker for just being himself and raising huge sums of money for the less fortunate in Bangladesh.
