Sheffield, England
it's nice to use an english computer with an english keyboard and english text.
i finally had a chance to get to a post office yesterday. as far as blogging goes, for some reason the further we get into the tour the less i feel like writing. i suppose it's because i'm getting more tired, and hopefully not just becoming oblivious to more things around me, though i doubt that. there haven't been many chances to hop on a computer, or i haven't felt like fighting over getting a turn. and the pc's we've had available most places are slow and unstable, rendering them pretty unacceptable for uploading high-res photos (and i don't have the ability to resize photos). right now i'm lucky enough to be using an ibook, but my unfortunate lack of mac os knowledge seems to be prohibiting me from uploading pictures without first importing all of them into iphoto on this dude's computer. ...so bad luck with uploading pictures, though i've taken a lot. i'll get them all up when i get home, at least.
so the uk shows have been the best so far, i'd say, and there are 4 more. the response for dtn has been pretty insane. i love it. france, unfortunately, was kinda wack, aside from getting 2 cute french girls to say funny things in english (we got a video). but bordeaux was kinda sketchy. we got hassled by some dudes on the street pretty much as soon as we got there. it seemed pretty clear they were trying to pick a fight. they said "you're in our city. you need to show respect." we ignored them. the historic structures and the river were nice sights, but that's about all that struck me as enjoyable. we just didn't feel comfortable there. caen was kinda boring, at least the part we got to see. i know it sucks to say that. it was still cool to think 'hey, i'm in france.' it's like that everywhere we've been. at least i got a couple chances to use a bit of the french i remember from highschool. that was cool.
london rules. alan and i hopped on the tube and did a little shopping before the show. such an awesome city. sheffield seems cool too.
i could go on and on and on about italy. we saw most of the absolutely amazing ancient structures in rome. totally mind-blowing. i took what may be an insane amount of pictures there. florence... also gorgeous. and i got to eat pizza and pasta in italy. that's such an american thing to be excited about, but whatever.
i'm spent. and i can't seem to think of things to write about, seemingly because i've just seen too many new things. it's slightly overwhelming to tell about, but it will all come back to me. i've been trying read while sitting or standing by the merch each night. i finished the alchemist. nice.
later.
