I WANT THAT ONE!!

I'm not into cars at all but I knows what I like... saw this lil beauty during the week in Cork.

I could definitely see myself driving this, although I've just been informed by those in the know (Philip Bourke & Lenny) it's got a 6 litre engine... cue me looking at them blankly... then the penny dropped, I drive a 1 litre. Holy crap this thing would drive me... waaaheeey!!

I still want it though, even just to look at , it's so pretty. I would happily do what I used to do when I was a kid, gather all my friends, pile into my Mam's car, ask them where they wanted to go and furiously turn the wheel while making engine and screeching tyre noises- of course the tunes would be blasting but this time maybe it wouldn't be Madonna's True Blue casette... It would be on cd!!

Weekend Anthem May 23rd- La Roux

Check out their previous single "In It For the Kill" too, brilliant!

Last wks Happy Days

I couldn't find the American version on You Tube for the blog so instead I found this rather amusing German version, note the very creepy ending!

Bodies...

... Got to finally see the "Bodies....The Exhibition" last weekend in Dublin. If you're not familiar with it, Bodies is an exhibition all about... wait for it... the human body featuring real but dead (phew) people. All sliced and diced for our viewing pleasure. It sounds an awful lot more gory than it is though. Most of the time I didn't even think "this is a real person". It was fascinating. Check out the pics but be warned if you're of a nervous disposition you may wanna sit this one out!


What I'd really like to see is the Gunther Von Hagens Body Worlds exhibition. He's the man who started it all off by inventing the the technique for preserving biological tissue specimens called plastination... and he's just a lil bit of crazy! Here he is chilling with some friends, who let's face it, could do with a square meal!!

Hannah Montanna

... I had never even seen an episode of Hannah Montanna, so when the invite came to go along and see the movie I was a little hesitant, but with a 14 year old and an 8 year old cousin who are big fans of Miley and Hannah, I couldn't say no. The only interview I had ever even seen with Miley Cyrus was on Jonathan Ross a few weeks back, when she slightly amused me but mostly shocked me with her level of confidence. While watching the movie it suddenly became clear why this kid is so confident and why she has the right to be. Damn, she can sing and act. It wasn't an over the top, hammy, kiddy performance, it was a surprisingly grown up, subtle performance. Granted she was probably being herself for a lot of it, but how bad, it worked. Ok I'm not stating she's gonna win an oscar for it or anything but for someone so young it was a very impressive performance. Then she continued to surprise me when she sang the single from the movie "The Climb". I got so taken in that when kids around me started throwing their hands in the air and swaying along I joined in, that was until my 14 year old cousin turned to me with a look of horror and sheer mortification screaming "what are you doing, please stop"... spoilsport! So there ya go, I'm a brand new Miley Cyrus fan... now let's just hope she stays grounded and doesn't go out of her way to get herself a mugshot or a place in the Betty Ford Clinic!!
If you're after a bit of bubblegum head along to see the movie, it's worth a watch!
Thanks to Clean & Clear and Niamh at Dynamics PR for the invites and goodie bags :D

El President

I played this to death! Before going to school, when I got home for lunch, straight after school. Still sounds great!

Spot the difference??

Clearly nothing like each other, but quite funny that her boyfriend supposedly called Kate Moss Waynetta Slob while on holiday... Should've gone to specsavers Jamie :D

Kate Moss on holiday!

Waynetta Slob on Holiday!

I used to know all the words to this...

...But nobody does it like Tom Hanks!
