that looks like a painful mod to have. i have issues with reg earrings so I don't think that my ears would tolerate gages. and do you ever have the urge to hang shit from your ears? I would hang all kinds of shit from my ears if I had those... i think... especially at Christmas time!!
I really only know David Carradine from the Kill Bill flicks, but I thought he was pretty good in those. I don't think anyone could have guessed how he died. Wow.
i had my belly button done, but my jackass ex made me take it out. So now I have to scar and am too chicken to go get it done again. i much prefer tattoos to piercings. I have been thinking about getting an industrial piercing though. My job forbids me from getting anything more that shows, i.e. nose, eyebrow, etc. (Stupid day job!)
I do too, though the first was way better, I think. Second one just didn't have any really memorable scenes, except the eyeball getting stepped on. Ick.
hope you are recuperating from your trip.
