Still Feelin' It

I think I'm getting old. Either that or I managed to do some serious damage to my stomach on Friday night. It's still feeling a little spicy. The work party at the Guinness Brewery was fabulous! The Gravity Bar is at the top of one of their buildings and has an amazing view of Dublin. There isn't that much to look at during the day but the night view was spectacular. The event was catered so that meant really great food. Since I've recently developed some kind of bizzarre aversion to chicken, I stuck with the beef, which was oh so good! The free wine was flowing and it definitely made talking to strangers a lot more confortable. I was smart enough to immediately switch to beer as I had a feeling the night was going to be a long one and I wanted to be in good enough form to keep up with the crowd.

I didn't manage to get much dancing in although a co-worker did pick me up a couple of times and swing me around. The old stomach did a few flip flops at that point but I just steadied it with more beer. I really enjoyed chatting with co-workers about travel, Ireland, what's wrong with Irish men, etc. A bunch of us ended up heading out to a late bar called Leggs after the brewery. It was a wine bar, apparently a fairly cheesy one but I wasn't paying attention to much at that point.

I was wrecked for most of Saturday and Sunday but it was worth it. I wish I had something amusing to say about my weekend but most of my efforts were put into not vomiting, which I consider an achievement. I did manage to watch the Eastenders omnibus, which was amazing and an nice capper to a fun weekend.

In sad news, Radiohead and Beck are coming to Dublin in August but I didn't manage to get tickets due to my neverending poverty. Sigh. Maybe next lifetime.
