Where Is Hawkins?Where travel is cheaper than psychotherapy.

I don’t know what really possessed me to plan a trip to Gibraltar to go to on vacation. Mainly I think I did it because I don’t know anyone who’s gone out of their way to go there at all, let alone make it their primary stopping point. I’m imagining a quaint, cosmopolitan place where I can walk around with my camera and get into odd adventures. Well, maybe. But a week from right now I should be on my way there. I don’t have a thing planned yet and will plan what I want to do on the road. The only thing I’ve done is planned my first two nights stay at a little place called the Cannon Hotel. This is not a place that attracts mad tourism and it’s hard to find a book on it. I managed to find about 4 pages worth of information in a Time Out book.

I do want to take awesome photos of this trip, so I plan on going to get a good monopod or something I can carry with me other than my big and lame tripod. Declan McCullagh took awesome photos in Gibraltar and I want to take equally as cool ones.

Oh, and if you want postcards, let me know.

Pics are posted at Fotki, as usual. I didn’t take that many mainly because I didn’t want to walk around Acapulco with my Rebel XT hanging from my neck. And I was just lazy.

PS: Whoever is reading my blog from Sidley and Austin law firm, give me a shout and say hello. I notice you viewing from the log and am trying to figure out my readers (all 3 of you).

So I went to my dentist’s office today to get a cleaning and some more work done and get the crown on when I get back from Prague. Miss Manners doesn’t have anything to deal with this awkward situation but I wished him well and went on with my day.

Tonight I had a second date with this lovely med student. Yesterday, she asked me if she could bring her roommate and her roommate’s fiancee, which made it kinda awkward. I said yes, because I was working under the assumption of “oh, she’s having her friends evaluate me.” We had a fifth wheel today when one of their friends came as well, which made me feel sort of odd. I am not fun of the n+1 outings because you always have that odd person out. Oh well, I didn’t need $180 anyway.

I think I am just going to go and curl up on the couch, wallow in self pity and watch The Constant Gardener and imagine that I could find find myself in a love like that, albeit without the international big pharma conspiracy. Tomorrow’s another day, and there will always be another woman to find in my life along with another adventure in the world.

My dentist got indicted.

A well-liked Chicago family dentist let pimps rent out his Marina Towers condos so hookers could turn tricks there and stayed after hours at his downtown dental office to fix the teeth of battered prostitutes for free, the feds charged Wednesday.

Awesome.

I’m leaving for Mexico again tomorrow after work. Let me know if you want a postcard.

What happens when you combine a woman wearing a seal hat and put her next to a tank with a polar bear? Hilarity ensues.

It turns out that it doesn’t suck as much as you’d think to take a wild ride through 4 airports to get to your destination. I had a lot of fun – had a cigar and steak in Mexico City before I went to Acapulco.

The night before I went out with my old friend Jeff from way back in the day. We had a few beers in downtown Indy and ran into some of his fraternity brothers.

Acapulco proper kinda sucks. There is nothing really to do other than lounge. I went gambling on Jai-Alai soon after I arrived and was unable to find a donkey show. On Saturday, I did nothing except lounge by the pool and get tossed off a wave runner, which was quite fun.

I will upload the better pics from the d-SLR soon.

Oh and I want to give a big “fuck you” to Viator Tours and Royale Tours for not picking me up for my cliff divers outing on Saturday night. Fucking doucherockets dinged me for $80 for a prepaid tour and didn’t show up. jtfc, what twatwaffles…

Well I missed my flight this morning out of Indy so I ended up taking the long way there. Right now I am in Dallas and waiting for my flight to Mexico City and eventually ending up in Acapulco. Well I hope anyway…

My friend Jackie is doing the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Since I am a fan of charities (and breasts, natch), I’d like for people to be so kind as to donate to the cause. Click here to go to the site where you can donate via credit card.
