Pullin a 'Fake Sickee'

Yesterday with the encouragement of some of our irish friends, Sarah and I pulled a 'fake sickee'. It was a brilliant idea. We slept in a bit. Then we headed to Burrito and Blues in Rathmines for some nachos. Not the best nachos i've ever had, im not gonna lie. The decor in the place was odd, mexican food served with a side of blues music. Very cute though.
After the nachos, we went to Seaport. Its about a 10-15 minute ride on the dart south of Dublin. We hung out at our friends house that overlooks the sea (or as we would call it the ocean).
We mostly just hung out and watched TV. We caught a show on E! called "Stranded with a star" where u choose between celebrities who would be best to be stranded on an island with...it was very interesting to see things from an Irish point of view...hahha. Then we watched...wait for it... the English version of PRICE IS RIGHT. It was horrifying. We were mocked incredibly for the looks of disgust on our face. The whole thing is modern and the host is horrible nothing at all like Bob. The show is only a half hour. The person with the highest spin on the wheel does a showcase showdown by themselves. They push a button and get a range for their bid... for example last nite it was 2,000pounds so the contestant had to guess within 2000pounds of his showcase without going over. It was certainly interesting but i wouldnt reccommend it.
Today we leave for Amsterdam...very exciting. Will be back on Sunday!! Cheers!!
