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

More pluses than minuses. Enjoyed very much. Kiddie relevant facts: No sex; no gore (lots of fighting and blood but no guts or ghastly wounds); one burned alive; lots of ugly critters, including a spider with attitude; triumph of good over evil; triumph of the little guy over the big guy; 3.5 hours long. If…
Driving Miss Daisy Mad
Today it will (just barely) cross 80ºF today. In my mind, rates marking today as the first official day of spring. Especially since weâve had very few 70ºF days, much less an 80ºF day. Were I ruler of the universe, things like the start of a season would not be fixed to a calendar date…
Not For The Squeamish, Part 2
It’s harder to make out, but the two linear squiggles at 11 and 1 o’clock are blue crayon shavings edge-on. That makes it the Little Black Shit’s crappola. I’m surprised that there is so little hair in this sample. LBlS was the cat, you’ll recall, who had major surgery last May, for The Mother of…
OK. I’m officially
pissed off now. The Prof stays up till 4:00. He comes to bed and then tosses and turns, keeping us both up until I give up and get up twenty minutes early, with less than four hours sleep under my belt (because he felt the need to come into the bedroom and wake me up…
Not much of an entry.
I was less inclined to view snowflakes with a kindly eye this morning. One-on-one they are amazing creatures, but last night they roved in gangs. Snowflakes with a mob mentality are not to be taken lightly. I reflected upon this as I scraped the ice off my car this morning. The driver’s side door was…
Unexpected Passings
Wooly bear caterpillars must be the northeastern United State’s local version of the arctic lemming. Akin to the lemmings’ inexorable march to the cliffs overlooking the sea in years of overpopulation, the onset of the cooler days of autumn triggers some suicidal instinct buried deep down on one of the three brain cells a wooly…
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.
