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

Ever notice that after you’ve gone and called the doctor to get an appointment you immediately start to get better? It evidently works that way with cats too. O’Beast scarfed down breakfast this morning like the piglet he’s always been. He still needs his annual check-up for his heart condition, so I’ll drag him (over…
One hundred and thirty-five thousand names. Over forty-four September 11ths in the space of less than two-and-a-half hours. Americans think that September 11th shook the world. The “Christmas earthquake” did shake the world. And yet we remain USA-centric, even to the point of calling this the “Christmas earthquake.” It might have still been Christmas in…
Today the world is an emptier place. My heartfelt condolences to King Duncan’s loyal court. Tonight an empty throne is sure to bring only pain, but tomorrow it is my sincerest wish that it remind those who loved him that he was given as royal a life as any who may have borne a crown.
Midnight, aka LBlS, has spent twelve of the last eighteen days hospitalized. The Prof elected not to have an exploratory surgery done that would have definitively diagnosed her problem, but odds are she has lymphoma of the gastrointestinal track. She no longer willingly eats anything except dried tuna flakes, and only three or four of…
Freaking fever has been all over the place today. Last I took it, it was 102.6F. Sorry Celcius people, I’m not up to converting at the moment. I called Big City Hospital Liver Transplant. They recommend going into a local emergency for a work up. She listed a bunch of tests, but I had a…
I’ve yet again been privileged to add an internet friend to my list of face-to-face friends. These are artificial categories at best; if I’ve learned nothing else these past three years or so, I have learned that friendship has absolutely nothing to do with physical proximity. But it’s always nice to see the face and…
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.
