It didn’t help.
It’s 2:14 and I’m not asleep.
It’s 2:14 and I’m not asleep.
It’s pouring. The lights are flickering. I still have about 25% of my paperwork to do. I can’t put it off until tomorrow – I have tomorrow off for yet more doctor’s appointments. If we lose power I’m going to be here forever. And it’s been that kind of day.
Looks like I’m going back for more tests – a bone scan and a chest scan. They found an “irregularity” on the MRI and can’t rule out a carcinoma. It isn’t likely, but it isn’t impossible either. The area is probably just a nodule of hepatic regeneration; when a liver gets as bad as mine…
Well, I’m back. The California getaway was wonderful, albeit too short. I hated leaving The Professor behind and returning East yesterday, but at least he’ll be back Saturday. And the time away from the apartment confirmed one important thing for me – any disputes between The Prof and myself are due more to work and…
I am more convinced than ever that animals have sensibilities that humans fail to appreciate. Those of you who have followed my Diary at all have been regaled by stories about my Kitten-From-Hell, the destructive force that I have been unable to stop or even slow down. Mirrors, wall hangings, floor fans, exposed ankles and…
Well, if nothing else, I’m at least accumulating a string of letters after my name. I’ve applied for my first job as a CPhT today. It’s at a pharmaceutical service that supplies long term nursing care facilities, which need completely different packaging than home health care or hospitals. They want experience, but I think I…
Went to see “Spiderman” yesterday afternoon with The Prof and MWUFFLTHB and had a grand time. We got there a tad late for my tastes, but still got decent seats (probably the last three seats all together in the theater though). Mild spoilers follow. If you’re a purist and haven’t seen the movie yet, don’t…
celtic fest was the middle of september and i missed it! i had the pleasure of just walking to grant park when i lived downtown and catching a few minutes of the various festivals. i don’t own any, but i do appreciate celtic music very much 8)
I don’t understand celtic music. Around here they play it in those stores that sell smelly soap and candles.
Speaking of smelly soap, I’ve a bar that is stuck to the edge of the bath. I can’t take it off for the life of me. I’ve tried prying it off with a butterknife and a screwdriver, but it won’t work! So now when I want to wash my hands in the sink I have to moisten them under the tap, turn around, take a half step, bend down to the side of the bath, rub my fingers on the soap, stand up, turn around, take the half step back and then run them under the sink again. It takes like half an hour!
I love Celtic music, too. G loves to dance to more electronic stuff–rave music, that sort of thing. I pulled out some of my traditional Gaellic tunes for him the other day to show him what adrenaline is really all about. De Danaan dropped him to the floor. 🙂
a few years back i went to Guinness Fleagh (flah)in nyc, lots of wonderful music, the Chieftains performed as well as many other Irish bands, Sinead was there, Patti Smith, Tracy Chapman, Indigo Girls…can’t remember who else at the moment. also got a great piece of art from the many craftsmen who set up shops in the field. needless to say, i had my share of guinness!
Those wacky Celts.
Lots of Irish where I’m from. I like when they make their kids dress up and do their funny dances. It’s like the midgets in Wizard of Oz performing Riverdance.
The Chieftains rule!
=)
LOL
I love celtic music…and even took up playing the penny whistle. I wouldn’t say I’m good, but I love to play it. I drive my family nuts playing the same song over and over again…hahahah

I thought you were pulling our legs about Dick, but I’m a believer now.
I love Celtic music also. Something weird happened to my favorite CD, Celtic Christmas III by Windham Hill, so it won’t play anymore. Vinyl fatigue maybe.
Beautiful lyrics.
