I don't exactly remember where I was when I took this picture. Except for that I was in the Netherlands, in a city, in the north. This is the only picture you will see from my trip from the Netherlands. Because it was crappy out every day I was there. And my pictures were crap.

Ireland: Sheep

Stalking this sheep was exactly like the Discovery channel. Then this thing flashed some fangs and came chasing after me. And I'm like, "oh fuck" and I ran. But it kept gaining on me. I could hear the bloodsucking feind right behind me. Then it got ahold of my leg and slammed me into the ground and started eating my organs. It turns out it was a zombie sheep. And now I'm a zombie, too.

Ireland: Wishing Steps

You have to walk up backwards with your eyes closed. Then you make a wish. Like not to die being a tourist.

We were completely and utterly lost when I took this. Star and I were in the residential district and there wasn't a church or square to be found to navigate by.

Venice: Gondola

On the Grand Canal, from the gondola ride. You can see half of the Rialto Bridge on the back of the picture. It is the beautiful bridge that crosses the Grand Canal in Venice. There are only 3 or 4 bridges that cross it.

I took this picture off the Rialto Bridge. This may have been before my lunch of pizza on the bridge.

Someone has gas in the public library where I'm getting my wifi fix. You bitches better appreciate this.

Oh, this is the wooden motorcycle that I remembered from my first time in Venice. It was nice to see something familiar. Even though all of Venice is pretty static.

On top of a churchy building. I liked the way the sun was hitting them. My picture is crap, though.

The people feed the birds in the square. They infest the place. I'm surprised it isn't covered in shit.

Gawd, that was the nicest thing to say about a pretty picture.

These are some boats in the fishing village of Dingle. Yeah, you can't see the village in this shot. But I assure you, there are shops and houses. Really, it is very touristy. I think the fish smell might be fake.

It was a pretty day. I am a sucker for a skyline. Especially one with a parabola building.

London: Shakespear's Globe Theater Stage

This is the reconstructed theater from the inside. Yeah, word on the street was that an American rebuilt it.

London: Tower Bridge

I toured the engine room of the bridge. It was fantastic. Because I'm a dork. And I also did the Science Museum the same day. And there were school children everywhere. And I smurf-kicked one of them. Then the teacher was all like "Damn American girls. Don't they teach you how to play footie?" And I was like "Footie? You mean soccer?"

It is way too late to be writing these posts.

London: Wedding

Yes, that church is inflateable. This was in Leicester Square. I was buying theater tickets and snow crashed when I saw this. I barely missed getting a picture of the bride.

London: Westminster Abby

The inventor of the jet engine has a plaque in Westminster Abby. I was way more interested in that than in Churchill's... or was it Cromwell's... see. That's what I'm talking about.

Ok ok ok. Pictures will be coming. It has been two weeks since my last post. Some of you are still persistently showing up and making requests. Don't expect many pictures of me.

So spread the word or something.
