The stiffy by the Liffey, and various other crude topics.

Alright, I haven't updated for awhile and haven't posted hardly any pictures. I don't know if I mentioned how my camera is basically busted, as the colors never turn out right and it's impossible to get the lighting right. So what I've decided to do is steal everyone else's pictures. They're better photographers anyway. We'll start with ones I actually did take, and you can see how the color and stuff is messed up. They are from a park called St. Stephen's Green, right in the middle of downtown Dublin. It's really beautiful, and the best thing is it's such a nice bit of natural beauty in the middle of the city. The place is huge! To see bigger versions just click on the pictures.




Now a few of the actual city. The big spike is as much a mystery to the Irish as it is to you and I. It is most commonly referred to as "the stiffy by the Liffey." Make of that what you will. It's right in the middle of O'Connell Street, the heart of the city. A good reference point for when you're lost.




And now for the good stuff, pictures from the pubs and bars. Look away if you're easily offended. This first one is Ashley and I at The Market Bar, where we went to dinner for Galena's birthday.

My buddy George was in town, so we rocked out at Doyles. We're pretty much regulars at Doyles.

Drinking in new and creative ways!
This is a large portion of the group. Left to right: Ali, Galena, Adam, Me, Molly, Ashley, and Dave. Believe it or not this was at a place called The Dragon, which was my first trip to a gay bar. It was an ungodly good time, aside from the insanely loud techno music.
Zenia, me, and some dude who apparently likes his picture taken with strangers.Dave, Steve, Molly, and I. I don't know what I'm doing.

Brian and I trying to figure out how to dance to the dope beats.

So anyways, today I started my first full week of work, and I'm really really excited. I'll be doing a lot of cool stuff, and will most likely be published in some shape or form by the time I leave here. That should be pretty decent for the resumé, eh? I still miss you guys, don't forget e-mails and comments are more than appreciated. I'll have a phone hopefully by the end of the week so maybe I'll be lucky enough to hear some of your lovely voices.
