Ain't got no skull:
I managed to escape Dublin alive after two and a half days of wanton photography and wayward Guinness consumption. My friend Jeff showed me many locked exits from the grounds of Trinity College, took me to jail, and sat with me in a pub as Anthrax entered the building. If this all sounds more horrifying than you think it could possibly be, you're right. We did finally find an exit from TCD (as evidenced by the fact that I'm now in an entirely different country), visited a jail that's now a museum (on the anniversary of Padraig Pearse's execution there), and were in the middle of drinking a number of drinks in my favourite pub in Dublin when the band Anthrax walked in. I recognized Scott Ian from his voice, since he's been on a bunch of those VH-1 "I Love the Last 5 Minutes" shows. Anyway, we looked on as a number of fans asked them to sign things like records and tshirts and their bodies, and I noted that for at least one member of that band, the metal mullet is still the hairstyle of choice.
Now I'm in London at an internets cafe sitting next to the most loveliest China Vagina as we head on our way to a day of shopping and taking surreptitious street photos of overly tanned British women. So far we have enjoyed shopping for goth things (a purse which I acquired during this phase of my visit is responsible for today's post title - photos to come), eating bacon, and drinking mixed drinks out of jugs. After we are done showing each other pages on the internets, we are going to Haitch&M to buy cheap clothing and then going to Filthy McNasty's Whiskey Bar because it has the best name for a whiskey bar ever.
I'll continue my journey tomorrow morning as I head out at ass o'clock in the morning to catch a plane out of Heathrow. When I arrive in a location where I have less sporadic access to the internets, I will update you with photos and further details. Of course, this is all assuming I escape this country with my head, which Ms. Gao keeps threatening to eat.
