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

So they’re calling for snow this weekend. I hate to take it seriously, but this time all the forecasters seem to be coming to some sort of consensus about it. After yesterday’s heinous ride to work (which I neglected to get into because the matter of my broken candleholder seemed much more interesting) I believe…
And sometimes it begins well too. It mostly begins well on weekends, though. I have to laugh at myself. This diary is mostly for me. Meeting others through it, and getting compliments on it has been a side benefit. I try not to get caught up in the game of writing for others though. Still,…
I was thinking about my situation at work this morning. It occurred to me that a compromise is nothing more than a solution to a problem then ensures that neither party gets what they want. ***************************************** This weekend the Christmas tree vendors started assembling their road side stands. The trees themselves have not yet arrived,…
A small grey kitten, its head twisted nearly one-hundred and eighty degrees, with its forehead pressed against my chest. Heavy, gurgly purrs while I stratch that spot under the chin that is so awkwardly presented for attention. Eight little talons on her back-legs, giving her the assurance she needs that she isn’t going to slip…
It would appear that I continue to do quite well, according to my transplant coordinator. My incision is healing very nicely, I’ve lost fifteen pounds of superfluous water weight since last Tuesday, and all my bloodwork from last week looks good. I get to skip a check-up next week (though I still need to get…
Thanks TxSweets for the updated link! How much are you worth? at HumanForSale.com Apparently, I can command a price-tag of $1,761,844.00, even though I have more than four fillings and under-average athletic abilities. I suspect they may have overvalued the schooling and degree.
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.
