An Taghadh USA 2006

‘S abhaist dhomh bhòtadh a-riamh. Tha mi a’ dol a bhòtadh gu toilichte a-màireach. Am bheil sinn a’ dol a dh’atharrachadh an riaghladh? Tha mise ag iarraidh atharrachaidh e. Tha e coltach gu bheil an sluagh Aimearaganach ag aontachadh rium. ‘Se taghadh cudromach a th’ann aig an ìre nàiseanta.

‘Se taghadh aig ìre nan stàitean cuideachd. Tha Arnold Schwarzenegger (Republican) agus Phil Angelides (Democrat) a’ strì ri chèile airson oifis an riaghladair California. Tha an saoghal uile eòlach air Arnold. Chan e ach fear-poileataics abhaisteach a tha Phil, ‘s mar sin tha e air call cheana.

Oidhche shamhna ann an L.A. Chan eil cail a dh’fhios agam carson chuir na h-ughdarrasan casg air Silly String. ‘Se taigh-sinnse sporsail a th’ann an Frolic Room, faisg air Hollywood Blvd ‘s Vine, crois-rathaid gu math ainmeil.

Taing do Etara airson an deilbh!

Coiseachd monaidh, doigh Caileafornach. Chan eil an geamhreadh a’ tighinn idir. Chunnaic sinn beagan fhèidh agus eòin gu leòr (dusan fithich a’ cluich air mullach, bha sin math dha riribh). Leughaibh storaidh an turais (‘sa bheurla) aig làrach-lìn an caraid agam Raibeart:

An-dè agus an-diugh: soilleir ‘s brèagha ‘s blàth ‘s tioram ‘s teth. 30 *C!
Cha do mhaire am foghar gu fada. Tillidh e, tha sin gu cinnteach.

LA Sunburst During Storm

Tha an t-uisge ann! Thàinig frasan beaga, troma tron bhaile an-dè. Feumaidh mi sgàilean-uisge ùr a cheannaic. Sin a’ chiad frasan o chionn a’ Ghiblean. Chan eil ach dà ràith na bliadhna aig Los Angeles: leth na bliadhna teth ‘s tioram, agus leth na bliadhna fliuch ‘s fuar.

Taing mhòr do StuSeeger o Fhlickr airson deilbh math Los Angeles fo frasan. Sin Hollywood aig ceann a’ bhogha-fhrois.

Nuair a bhios an t-uisge ann,

bi an adhar slàn, glan

agus chan eil ach 3 sgiobanan eile a rinn e riamh. Rinn na Dodgers 4 home runs leanmhainneach a-raoir. Abair gaisgich! Bha na Dodgers a’ call trì turas, bha an geama co-ionnan trì turas, ach bhuannaich iad anns an 10mh inning.

Meal do naidheachd, a Mhartain…!

Actor Martin Sheen has registered as an arts student at the National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway, taking classes in English Literature, Philosophy and Oceanography. Star of the acclaimed TV series ’The West Wing’, and of many memorable movies including Apocalypse Now and Badlands, Sheen will take a break from his illustrious acting career to immerse himself in campus life.

Martin Sheen is amongst the first of 15,000 students who will register over the coming weeks at NUI Galway. Around 1,500 international students travel to Ireland each year to study at the University, with almost half of those hailing from North America. The rich multi-cultural ambience on campus provides a dynamic backdrop to the student-centred and research-intensive university.

60 t. an àrd, ‘se deagh venue bhall-choise aig lùchairt-fhilm Grauman’s Egyptian Theater. ‘Se togalach ainmeil eachraidheil agus a’ chiad tarraing-luchd-turais Hollywood a th’ann an Egyptian.
Chaidh mi ‘sa mhadainn seo a dh’fhaicinn am maidse cupa na cruinne eadar an Fhraing agus an Eilbheis. ‘Se triùr a bh’annainn nar suidhe anns a’ bhalconaidh mòr aig 0900 m. Mise agus an caraid agam Bill agus duine à Dùn Èideann – ‘se Stuart an t’ainm a th’air – agus bha còignear luchd-taich Fraingeach nan suidhe shios. Bi ùidh ann am ball-coise aig mòran de dhaoine ann an LA, ach bha iad gun teagamh anns na taighean-seinnse air feadh a’ bhaile a tha fosgladh moch do luchd-leanmhainn.
