Update, to get me more or less back on schedule:

Interesting people, the Irish. Make me think of a friend of mine back home- they'd suit him perfectly. His schedule, especially. Nobody really gets up or opens stores or so on before 10 am, and things quite often stay open till 11 pm. He'd love the music, too- there's always music everywhere. And the copious quantities of drink would probably suit his fancy... I went to Macroon for a bit, this afternoon, but the intriguing market I'd spotted yesterday had mysteriously vanished, so I wandered around a bit and went home. That was okay. I'd found a bookstore in the morning and managed to read, standing up, two comic book collections, and bought a third (Neil Gaiman, yeah.) I am rapidly becoming a comic addict, which is a shame, as they're an expensive habit; I've found another one I want to follow... they seem to catch my head somehow, and I end up drifting through a cloud for the rest of the day, which is why I liked the bus... it gave me time to just sit and think. I like doing that. It's difficult to do it in hostels, though- too many distractions, people look at you funny, and so on- and walking, which is my usual solution, wasn't sounding so good to my lower back. A bus was perfect. *Good* comics, and I've just had the strangest person pop up in my head, but s/he and I aren't really aquainted yet and so s/he's just going to have to drift around back there for a while. I've got a hell of an overload on people in my head right now.

Also found 'Myths and Magic: the Complete Fantasy Reference', which has stuff about, oh, magic and cultures and castles and all *kinds* of stuff- a real reference find. Cool. I've been browsing for an hour or two. Must stop soon, though. I'm seriously needing to work on the novel instead... in fact, I'm going to stop rambling now. For one thing, my head's still messed up with Sandman and comic book pictures, and I'm not making any sense. For another, I really *do* have work to do.
