2011 - One Day At A Time!: Day 150 - Monday, May 30th, 2011

Aha!, another blogging milestone - 150 days of it now. Thanks for all your support and comments, and here's to another 200+ days of varying contentment, excitement and memorability in the year ahead.

Lunch was consumed in a pleasingly leisurely style with great friend Dessie O'Donoghue, whom I hadn't seen in an age, mainly due to his hefty schedule of daytime travail and nocturnal parenting on the double (to Jack and Gavin, and aided most magnificently by wife Trish). The venue was Bliss - an old favourite from the time that I worked on Harcourt Street - and once again it failed to disappoint, with complimentary garlic bread, awesome vegetable soup with brown bread, lentil and kidney bean curry, and peppermint tea. Quali'y!

I then moseyed down to check out where my forthcomign place of work is specifically located - due to being wined and dined (actually there was no wine) in the Shelbourne Hotel's Saddle Room during the interview process, I had yet to find this out! Turns out that the office is located in a swanky-looking building right behind St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre, which is just about as central a location as exists in this fine city.

Further moseyage, onward to Cineworld, where I viewed just one film. "Are you feverish?", I hear you ask with heart-rending concern, but in truth, there was not too many to choose from. Diary Of A Wimpy Kid 2, for instance, did not particularly appeal. I did view The Hangover 2 (5/10) which deserved even less marks for having the most lazy and poorly-written script and storyline, but was an entertaining watch with a few laugh-out-loud moments, most of which were at points where it was inappropriate to do so. At least 3 of the 5 points can be directly attributed to the performances of Ken Jeong and Zach Greek-name-but-crazy-American-bloke.
