Still looks nicer than the place I stayed the first night I went there. Second night I was in a conventQuote:

I've always imagined it, as it was portrayed in the Dirty Harry films. This just confirms my suspicions. Off the holiday list imoQuote:

More like something out of Hammer House of Horror - actually that was more my Great Aunt's convent in St Albans - that was terrifyingQuote:

Yes - odd that. Monks are just not scary. Not that I see many of them even living in a city named after Monks. Nuns get everywhere thoughQuote:

Austin is just too fvcking hot, I'm afraid. Anywhere that's 80 degrees at 11pm can just fvck off.Quote:
