The play's the thing Went to see Love in the Time of Affluence in the Crypt last night. I laughed but I also did a lot of cringing with my parents sitting beside me. The play was all about sex in Dublin. Mind you the fact that I was sitting there with my own child kicking up a storm made me realise that no doubt my parents have heard it all before. In 20 odd years time that will be Himself and me sitting in a theatre watching our child cringe. Weird.
So it was all about sex in Dublin. Of all the things you could choose to link a disparate bunch of people, in a way it is the least interesting. It's a very noughties version of a day in the life of a penny. If the stories, as oppposed to the linking, and the characters are not interesting, believable, if you feel no empathy to any of them then what is the point? Basically it was all just a little bit too caught up with its own cleverness at coming up with this great idea of linking characters throught sex. Yawn

Hooray!!! The modem in work is back in action at last and hopefully there'll be a few more posts.
At last I'll be able to use Google again and buy DublinBus tickets and look at various minority language websites that I have been really dying to see...!!
I have a photo from this morning but can't access my ftp now. Oh the day I have had you wouldn't believe. I am so sick of computers. I'm away home now and I am going to see a play this evening. I don't even know what the play is called but I will at least be able to vent my praise/ disgust/ joy or whatever here tomorrow morning. God I hope it is good. An acquaintance is in it and my parents are coming along with me because they also know him from years back and they like to be supportive. Reserve judgement, Roseanne, reserve judgement.
