Happy SPD, Ian.

Some fucker here's wearing a bright orange tie for St. Patrick's Day. I think he's looking for someone to throw bricks at him. I mean, it's not like I give out copies of the satanic bible for Christmas or anything. Am I alone in considering the wearing of the orange a little deliberately inciteful on St. Patrick's Day?

Without thinking (I had 3 hours sleep last night), I grabbed a bright as fuck orange t-shirt out of the closet this morning. Then again, my lineage (as in, 5 generations before anyone I know was born) is Scottish, so maybe I have a genetic excuse.

Then again, I suspect most people don't know/care about any significance and just want their green beer now, thank you.

I'm wearing my Irish FA jeresy today. Of course, no world cup qualification. So this summer I will have to enjoy the second greatest thing there is...watching England crash and burn. Given that they have that fuckwit Swede at the helm, this could be spectacular.

I've been asked to bring my IPOD to the Beerday party tomorrow (Beer day is St. Pats + my birthday + Pete's birthday...we realized we're old and have jobs and can't have three seperate partys in one month these days)...Here is the Beer Day playlist...this should cause some liver damage:

Yeah -- this guy, though, he knows what he's wearing. This is the only time I've ever seen him wear a tie.

Ok then...I have to leave for the airport at three, but if I leave here at 2:30 I can stop by Nintendo, curb him, and still make my flight.

Having as I do the Goddess given ability to make people throw the first punch I wouldn't even need to say that.

Then again, if I get the ride over there, I might be inclined to skip conversation and just show him the logistical folly of the tie in a fight.

You do know that most Americans dont have a clue as to the signifigance of orange, right?

There's a lady today wearing an orange dress and a "Kiss me, I'm Irish" button sitting in the lobby here. (She seems to be of hispanic ethnicity, so I'm guessing she's as Irish as I am.:no: )

"(I had 3 hours sleep last night)"

After a week of 3 hour sleep nights, and not being used to it like you you mad bastard, I finally got sleep last night. That was disturbing. After the first hour of sleep, I woke up convinced that I'd been a sleep for like a week. Then there was the dream about the Sex Village. Basically there was this village where everything you might want was, sexually and otherwise, it was kind of like Amsterdam only it was on a hill.
