I woke this morning to a similar feeling to yesterday morning, only A THOUSAND TIMES WORSE. I have determined this feeling is directly related to me being hungry and thousands of miles away from home, currently, only one of those things is fixable. I left the hostel at around 10 (keep that in mind for later), fresh and being among people seems to help somewhat, not as much as eating, but they help. I worked my way into the temple bar area, which kind of like 13th ave and scarth street combined and about a hundred times bigger, busier and irish..er. I had some pancakes and some weird earl grey tea which seemed to help. I have discovered why everything tastes somehwat similar here, it's because everything (everything!) is cooked with or in lard of some variety. Seriously, my pancakes tasted like grissel, it was weird. I continued walking aroud this area, found some cool yet really expensive clothes stores, I would have bought an army jacket, but the sleeves were too short. But Mtt you say, your jackets sleeves are already too short! This is true! Now I want a jacket that comes to my wrists! I found a tower records, which has almost literally everything ever recorded, and half of everything in vinyl. I'm a nerd and bought the new arcade fire cd, if I had more time I would give my official indepth review, the short is...it's good! Buy it! Anyways, it's proving to be a good soundtracking cd. I walked around a little more, took a tour of dublin castle, more walking, went to the irish national gallery saw some nice paintings, when I got out, I was done being lost, and thats when got even more lost. Not knowing where you're going and not knowing where you are is one thing, knowing where you want to go (in this case, somewhere somewhat familiar) and not knowing at all how to get there is another thing. I was actually lost for a little over 2 hours, I finally got where I was going at 7 o'clock...I was walking, at a reasonable pace for over 9 hours...I'm sore and tierd. I was going to go on a pub crawl tonight, I was also going to go to the zoo, but it rained all day (yes, nine hours of walking in the rain). so I think I will do those things tomorrow, or maybe go to the anarcist book fair. I will most likely end up on this literay pub crawl though. I HAVE to go The Blarney castle, I'll probably go to a travel agent place and ask them some stuff tomorrow.
Well, I'm sore and hungry and have 22 minutes left.
Oh yea! I saw julius caeser last night at the abbye, I paid 30 € for the tickets, but it was pretty a perfect seat. It was really, just the pacing could have been better in places. Anyways! I'm going to find a pub and soem grub...close.
