Nothing new ... really ...

Nothing new really, finally finished the project at work and send all that to the fab... just wait and see from now on, how the product will come back from the fabrication step. Or more realistically until the next project really start ... uh next week.

Last week-end, i did not spend at work since i step back in Ireland. I even did not go to the wicked chicken not Costello or Nancy.... I have watched tv ( probably a bit too much ) too, seen the new episode of the Lost series ( quite catchy ) and few Star-Trek/Stargate SG1.... It seems that you could summarize sky one by Star-Trek and Stargate with some Friends ....
Unfortunately i miss OCC and Myth-Busters ( Jesus ... it's been ages since I watch it ....). And off course I've been thrilled by the French victory other Ireland in Croke Park !!!


Summary ( last 10 days ):
Pub: 1 ( in Ennis), Salsa dance: 0, Alcohol Units: 0, Activities: Cleaning the house, tiding it up.
Books read: Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman


Last week, i discovered a lovely pub in Ennis ( on Thursday )with traditional musicians, there was 5 young violoncellists ( two beautiful blonds ), one fantastic drummer ( actually a Bodhrán player ), one concertina player ( sort of accordion ), one flutist and one mandolin ( or maybe it was irish bouzouki, i am not sure how to tell the difference). No pictures .....
I was in Ennnis, for a paint exposition in the Irish Music Center: Glor... interesting.

In Glor ( http://www.glor.ie/ ), there is loads of animations, all year round. I really need to learn how to play tis fecking guitar this year.....


Just to think about it:
It is a small world. You do not have to live in it particularly long to learn that for yourself. There is a theory that, in the whole world, there are only 500 real people (the cast, as it were; all the rest of the people in the world, the theory suggests, are extras) and what is more, they all know each other. And it’s true, or true as far as it goes. In reality the world is made of thousands upon thousands of groups of about 500 people, all of whom will spend their lives bumping into each other, and discovering each other in the same unlikely teashops in Vancouver. There is an unvoidability to this process. It’s not even coincidence. It’s just the way the world works, with no regard for individuals or for propriety.


From Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

I love that idea, that each of us is only evolving in a small sphere containing 500 people.... And what if you leave the sphere, by changing country for example... Is it easy to integrate, create a new world-sphere of 500 people ?

This saturday, there will be a French Party in limerick ( more a gathering ) in the well-known Nancy Blake around 9pm.... good occasion to test the 500 theory.
