Sorry Folks :/

Alright so i've gone passed the half way point of my time here. I've been spending the past few weeks reflecting on what i've experienced, the ups and downs of the past 6 months. Oh what fun i've had out here and i got another 6 more to go :D wahoooo hopefully they're gonna be as good as he first 6 if not better :)

I'm sure if you are a regular reader of this blog then you'll have noticed that I haven't posted in a while. The number of posts per month have been getting smaller and smaller. I try but i'm just having too much BLOODY fun :D (that and im just a lazy ass) so... what have a been doing?(apart from being a lazy ass)trying to party hard(probably making me the lazy ass)...planning trips, outings, attempting to save money when i always dip into my student loan :/ ... hey im still a student im allowed to do that :)

So here is an outlook of what lays ahead...

Nobody can see the Great Oz! Not nobody, not nohow!

Since the finish of my most recently completed read, 'Tales of the City' ... i needed a new book ... the Broadway hit musical Wicked, has returned to San Francisco ... so i figured, i'd read the book... also ... hahahaha I'M ONLY GOING TO SEE IT! for those of you who don't know what it is or what its about, basically, its the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Elphaba) from The Wizard of Oz. I'm in the middle of the book and so far, it's covered her birth and her life at college etc...its pretty interesting... anyway i go see it on March 19th so watch this space, i promise to let you guys know :) Its been running for over a week and well they turned San Francisco City Hall green for its opening shows. Check the pic out.

Raise 'em, Hold 'em and Fold 'em - I'm goin' to Vegas

So yeh...you guessed it! I'm going to Sin City, Las Vegas!...just for a mini vacation but it should be great fun. Of Course im kinda broke...living in San Francisco, so i won't be raising the stakes too high...but i'm goin for the jackpot on the nickel machines. (5 cent slot machines) and i'll maybe play some blackjack and craps while i'm there...3 things i need to do in Vegas...

1. Visit Hoover Dam
2. Visit at least one famous Casino(Probably just the Bellagio :P)
3. Get arrested(relax that was a joke)

Yeah so its gonna be great fun...I leave for vegas on the 20th Feb for 3 days...driving down...the hotel looks NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so keep an eye out :)

It's probably time...

Last week was Super Bowl Sunday, and well there were a great deal of new commercials released. As so many people are watching Superbowl its a perfect advertising opportunity and companies invest in advertising. One commercial which caught my attention was this Career Builder one. The reason why I'm posting it...is because its straight up laugh out loud funny. So enjoy...

Hunger finds no fault with the cooking

Scottie's Bday - Ravioli

So last week it was Scottie's B'day and Tony wanted to cook for his friend so...i helped him...We made ravioli with shrimp ricotta from start to finish. I'd never made ravioli before... except Chef Boyardee or Heinz in Tomato sauce...but they were gooood. Was great craic... with Robledo Pinot Noir. Yummy. Of course there was great birthday cake too. Chocolate and strawberries...cant beat it with a stick.

A taste from home - Potato Bread

So i figured i'd treat my friends to a little home cooking. They always ask...what does irish food taste like so...i attempted to make some Irish Potato Bread... attempted being the main word...

We forgot flour...but...there was corn bread mix :/ so we used that and well i guess...the recipe said that we needed 'Irish Butter' i couldn't find kerrymaid unfortunately. Anyway...so we mixed up the recipe...actually one thing i noticed this recipes on the net NEVER make sense...ive tried following that stuff online before and well once when i tried making french toast (eggy bread) i got banana flavoured scrambled egg...but thats another story...for another day...back to the potato bread... so we added some sausage to the mix...and fried it in the pan...so effin good! :) i was well proud... improvisation goes along way... here's the pics...pity you can't taste em..not the pics...the potato bread.

Oot and Aboot

So yeh, i been out a lot! Hence the lack of blog posts...heres some pics of me getting drunky with some friends...i'll upload some more when i get a better net connection!! :D In the pics are Myself, Tony, Dean, Chrissi and Ina.
