Rum, sodomy, and the lash:
So, I'm in Texas right now. Dallas, to be precise. Flew in yesterday on a flight that had to be all changed around because my trip plans changed. I was originally in a first class seat but got rebooked into coach on the same flight. Poo. But I was sitting next to a cute Aussie girl, so that made it bearable. The two loud-ass girls behind us who were playing DVDs without headphones (!) kind of sucked, but I just imagined them as the victims in tentacle rape porn and I felt better.
I'll be in Dallas until Friday. I'm actually staying in Irving - just a few miles outside of Dallas, but there's fucking nothing to do around here. It's just businesses and country clubs and crap like that. Plus, you can't buy booze here! Blue laws and I mix like oil and water, so I'm going to drive into Dallas proper tonight or tomorrow night and go visit my friend's piercing/tattoo shop. Anyway, I fly out to Philly on Friday. Getting to see the boy again in such a short period of time is a Good Thing. I also got confirmation that I'm scheduled to go to training just outside of Philly the week of Sept. 27. Lots of trips to Philly make me a happy happy girl.
In other news, I just heard about the Pogues doing a mini-tour in the UK and Ireland this December. Shane MacGowan is one of my heroes, mainly because his lifetime consumption of alcohol has got to be nearing the volume of the Atlantic ocean and he still manages to stand upright occasionally. Fares on Aer Lingus to Dublin in December are super cheap, so of course I'm thinking of going. I realllllly want to take the boy with me, but he can't take vacation during December. So I'm torn - see one of my heroes performing live in my ancestral homeland before he inevitably keels over from liver failure, or spend the holidays at home and drag the boy kicking and screaming (ha!) to Ireland some other time? Or both? Oh, how I wish they'd announce some tour dates in the States. I gotta see ol' black teeth stumble about on stage at least one more time before his organs liquefy.
