"i'm totally pissed. do you know what that means?"

quote courtesy of a crazy lady a pub we went to yesterday. haha. it was VERY entertaining. (we're in Dublin...fyi.) kelly and i had tickets for Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors at the Abbey Theatre and we ended up having some time before the show. one of the ladies at the box office suggested we get dessert at The Great Canal Pub, so we did. i had death by chocolate...which was fantastic. and we shared a table with a drunk woman.

unfortunately i don't know her name. she was in town because her sister has been in the hospital for three weeks. there was a lot going on the pub, so it was kind of hard to hear her...but she managed to shout stuff across to us. lol.

the play, by the way, was fantastic. i'm always nervous about seeing Shakespeare because its another language. and a couple minutes in i was thinking "oh crap. oh crap. what are they saying?" but it worked out. the whole thing was set in modern times, with modern dress. it was really interesting. and incredibly funny. and speaking of other languages, kelly and i ended up sitting next to this little lady from Switzerland. her orginal language is german, but she speaks english. i was really impressed. i mean...Shakespeare is difficult enough when i already know the language...but if i didn't. wow.

okay, i should go grab some breakfast. we're going to explore the area around our hostel today, take a tour of the Guiness factory, and then go to a movie. haha. later.
