As I have not got any own ideas in my life, except for having oatmeal with strawberry sauce (disgusting) I am starting a blog based on a book from the past. In case you don’t know where I stole the idea from, it’s the movie Julie and Julia. So I have a Lonely Planet guide of Ireland from the 1980s thanks to my beloved friend Blanca, who bought it for me on a flea market a few months back; and currently I live in Dublin for quite a while now (quite a while: enough for wishing I could escape today, but due to the current biggest cliché economic downturn I am stuck for at least another grey year). My project will be to sightsee Ireland based on this out-of-date book and report what I found in the country. I planned to start with Dublin cause I know it as I know where I pissed on a street after a concert, where can I have the best goat cheese salad, what shitface means in real life, I use ‘gorgeous’ a way too often, and understand an Irish taxi driver from the North. It probably won’t be many pages wasted on Docklands, which is my favourite part of the capital now, but it was basically non-existent in the 80s (apart from warehouses and regular stabbing, but none of that hit the gorgeous –see!- pages of any travel guide). I think it will be pubs like Temple Bar or Stag’s Head mentioned in it, but so curious about all the others. For example I heard that Pearse corner used to have glorious years, but now only the ones with a brave heart should enter.
Let’s see how often can I post (depending on my laziness, of course).
