It didn’t help.
It’s 2:14 and I’m not asleep.

Yup, Frannie. I returned to school at 36. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I originally went to undergraduate school, but fouled up big time. I ended up changing majors from bio to psych, thereby making me effectively unemployable upon graduation. After all, what does a psych major do if they don’t go on…
It was a good vacation. It was a necessary vacation. Maybe I’ll get around to getting a few shots posted to the diary. I got some great close ups, including some of a very cooperative scorpion, a rather ugly looking tarantula, and a baby sidewinder that coiled himself up into a little disc the size…
I made the mistake of leaving the Clueless Wonder’s food down on the floor when I left the apartment this morning. He won’t eat it, but Kitten from Hell will. Which means that KfH is going to be one very happy hellion this morning. Meanwhile, CW is going to be one very hungry cat if…
Thanks to Fury for tipping me off to both of these. Nothing like a couple of mindless quizzes to lighten the load. First, I’ve been intruduced to NatureBug’s Diary, which contains the test What Looney Toon Are You? I scored a 33 – two more points and I could have been Pepe le Pew! (27-34…
So finally I have my first interview. In a couple of hours a local grocery store will be interviewing me for a cashier position. I am somewhat bemused because, while I did leave my resume with this chain at the job fair last week, it was to find out if they had any positions for…
Mr. Squirrel has been coming to visit our balcony rather regularly. I couldn’t figure out why. He’d already decided he didn’t like my plants (by taking ample taste samples of each one, the turkey). I finally had to guess he was coming because he liked to tease the cats, especially ACfH. Now this doesn’t speak…
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.
