Oh Guinness, how I've missed you (May 18th)

Today was the first time I think I've ever seen 3:30am from the waking up side of a day.  I'm happy to never have it happen again.

I hazily got myself onto the bus this morning and the eastern sky was already starting to get light.  I got to the airport and had another 3 hours to kill before my flight left.  It's funny, because the flight only ended up taking 35 minutes to get to Dublin.

A variety of buses finally got me to Nath's place around 1.  I would've gotten there sooner had Nath given me more then 14 words of directions.  But alas, I made it and it was good to see him.

Nath and his roommate, Aidan, had started watching Arrested Development the night before and were in the middle of season 2 by the time I got there.  It wasn't long until I was hooked in so we spent a good couple of hours watching that.

After about 6 episodes we headed out to a pub, which was amazing cause I've been desperate for a Guinness since I last left Dublin...but I decided to wait until I got back here before having one.  When we got there, I tasted that blissful bit of heaven and it wasn't long until I had another...and then a few more...and then one or two more...followed by just one more....and then another and then we went home.

While we were out, we met a cool girl named Charlotte that we hung out with for the rest of the night.  I foolishly thought that 25 euro would cover my time for the night, but that lasted about 7 minutes, so Nath was gracious enough to spot me...such a new concept.

Somehow it was 11 by the time we were catching the last bus home.  I heard it was a pretty good night.
