It didn’t help.
It’s 2:14 and I’m not asleep.
It’s 2:14 and I’m not asleep.
Yesterday I briefly feared that what allimom had predicted might well come to pass. My arm was feeling much better; if its rate of recovery continued unchecked, I would have been perfectly healthy by tomorrow morning. This afternoon I can safely predict that this isn’t going to be a problem. The current temptation is to…
Joshua Tree National Park, Thursday afternoon, August 28th. I know you are supposed to start a story at the beginning, but sometimes the end is as good a place to start as any. Our last day of vacation in California before heading home was spent in one of the Socialist’s and my favorite places, Joshua…
This is just too weird. I’ve gotten over half a dozen hits in the past few days from the good people at Marketprobe.com, who are apparently running the word “Aspirus” through multiple search engines. The problem? Aspirus is a word I made up when I did that follow-up entry a few weeks back on Controlus…
Don’t get me wrong. I love the new furniture. I love having new furniture. I am ecstatic about having something comfortable to sit on in the living room. But oh, how I mourn the loss of my computer cubby. Not that it was all that secluded from the rest of the room, but it was…
I feel the need to justify some actions I took last night. Which leaves me in a quandary, because I have a reader who is directly involved in the actions I took. By putting this in my Diary, others who know this person might be able to identify him. Is that a breech of confidence?…
May 25, 2003 May 25th, 2003 fell on a Sunday, just like today. It was a clear, sunny day, just like today. It was the day before Memorial Day, just like today. My mind tries to find significance in coincidence. It’s a human failing, I guess. I wonder where my donor’s mother is today. It’s…
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.
