June 25

"We look like freaking idiots."
--"It's ok, we're American. It's our job to make our country look as bad as possible."


Today was a really nice, relaxed day at work. We went in an hour late, and just hung around and talked and read the paper for while. We called Kieran and went to the studio to clean up everything from the launch the night before. We cleaned it all up, jam packed the car full of stuff from the party, and went to return everything we borrowed. Kieran had walked there and had a bunch of stuff to carry so we drove him home.


(Kieran was shoved in the back seat with all the stuff.)

Kieran invited us in for coffee, and in Ireland, if someone offers you tea or coffee, it's very rude to decline. So we went into his amazing house for a while and had coffee and biscuits (ginger snaps) and talked about Law and Order SVU.


(Kieran has amazing gardens in the front and back of his house.)

(The garden in the back is more like a huge rainforest with a cute little path that guides you through.)

(Dada canvas in the kitchen.)

(Amazing kitchen.)
After we left Kieran's we dropped off the rest of the stuff at the office. We had a few minutes to relax, then we had a meeting in Temple Bar, back in the City Centre. The meeting was at the Gallery of Photography, where I'll be assisting a workshop for a week in July.

(National Gallery of Photography.)

We got there and waited for a while and found out... the guy who we had the meeting with... kinda.. uhh.. forgot. He wasn't even near the gallery. Sooo... Siobhan just walked me around the area and showed me some hidden gems. Some tucked away galleries, health food markets, costume shops, record stores. It was pretty great.

(First of three galleries we went in.)

(This guy drew the skeletons of famous deceased people. It was amazing that you could actually tell who they were through their recreated skeletal features. This is Michael Jackson.)

(It's Hitler. Couldn't you tell?)

After Siobhan and I went separate ways, I went home and took a little nap. Had some dinner at home and met up with the group to go out to some pubs.

(Bus stop.)

(Our first pub, Quinns.)

(Kimmm.)

(gLee.)

(The second pub, The Ivy House.)

(Cheers.)

The skeleton drawings are really cool & spooky. Also, loved Kieran's gardens! You are doing so much stuff and really taking advantage of every minute. I still can't figure out if Temple Bar is a place you go into or an area of town!
