Officially a Night Owl

It's just gone 5am and I'm still up. I've been doing late shifts back at casa del crusty, so not finishing until gone 3am some nights. Not keen on hours as it means I'm sleeping late, constantly tired and missing out on Vegas nights and mornings by the pool. In addition to this, they are short staffed, so I'm putting in the hours. Again, not to my liking. Even back home, everyone knows I hate to put in a full week, so on this note, I'm planning my great escape and thinking of heading to San Diego this week. I feel bad as they a great bunch of people and its good fun but regardless, I'm too self indulgent to be too fazed about this.... Anyhoo, off to try catch some zzzz's now. Rebooked my tattoo for 4pm tomorrow (finished results will be uploaded soon). Buenos Noches Amigos xxx

3pm next day....

Gone over to casa del, packed my bag and just waiting until the time is right to get my stuff out of there. I'm supposed to start work in 4 hours but the prospect of it is pissing me off. I'm tired, back hurts and I suppose I've had enough - the Dutchess is leaving the building. Just having a spot of lunch, then tattoo and then the great escape! 

Just had a look and over 2k hits on my blog! Yay! As long as you read, I will promise to post!!

Ok, it's now 6pm and ive got my bags out of casa del and informed them that my time is up and wrote them a sycophantically apologetic letter... Feel really bad about it but my work ethic sucks and personally what I thought was going to be a 24hr week was actually between 40-48hr week. Piss take really but hey ho.. They get to keep my $150 deposit, so onwards I go. Moved my tattoo AGAIN but only until 8pm tonight (me and tattoo artist Dan are like old war buddies now - well in my head we are). I've also booked a hostel in San Diego for the week, starting 28th. It's supposedly really cool there and near the Mexican border, so you can easily pop over to Tijuana for the nightlife. Bring it on!! Tijuana is supposedly a dirty crazy town but total fun, so I'm all over the idea like a bad dose of herpes and have been dying to visit for years now. Got this snippet from wiki: 

Many foreigners travel to Tijuana to drink and dance, buy prescription drugs, purchase bootleg brand-name clothing, timepieces, and other personal accessories found globally, as well as manufactured and hand-crafted local curiosities. Locals and regular tourists avoid hassles by visiting the clubs at Plaza Fiesta or other areas of the Zona Río without the crowds, heavy marketing, and occasional tourist misbehavior or outright lawbreaking common on the Revolución strip. However, Avenida Revolución has been known for its proliferation of nightclub shows, primarily catering to 

casual tourists. While still an entertaining town with an enjoyable atmosphere, locals and tourists alike would agree that it has lost its "anything goes" mentality which it had once acquired, a mindset that was dangerous to tourists, locals, and the tourism industry as a whole.

Tijuana is also known as the birthplace of the "Tijuana Special," which is a classic Tex-Mex dish consisting of enchiladas, rice and refried beans. This dish was popularized by Tippy's, an American Tex-Mex restaurant.
