Green & Black organic is good. They make a bar with orange and spices that is teh yum. I like Valrhona, and it comes in 85%. Stay far, far away from Hachez, though--tastes oily to me.

Skipping and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is billytea's birthday (also Mikal's, whom I haven't seen posting in a little forever).
Happy birthday! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
(And how wonderful is it that billytea's "Beep Me" post from a couple of days ago probably means that he received a really awesome birthday present from, well, the universe, pretty much, including himself?)

I smile every time I think of it. They've earned their happy!
Hi, Nilly.
Happy Birthday, billytea!
Hey, Nilly.
Things to do to stay awake while working nights: teach yourself how to throw a ball left/opposite-handed. I've got some natural inclination, since I'm a born lefty forced righty, so it wasn't too tough to get the motion down, but the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. After the 5th time hitting the corner of the door frame/door handle/swing arm resulted in a wild ricochet that endangered someone's desk I've decided to give it a rest for now.
Excellent pictures, SA.
Visiting Dublin is on my "gotta do someday" list, if only to admire the Book of Kells in the flesh. Then perhaps a jaunt up north to Drogheda to see cousin Oliver's head.
Thanks, dcp! The Book of Kells is one super-touristy attraction that is completely worth every penny and any trouble. I'm going to see it again, once the tourist throngs have died down.
Kalshane, I hope your escape goes better than Capt. Hilts's did.
Nice pictures SA. And now I miss Dublin...
I don't think I've been to Howth since I was about six though, weirdly. Was that Malahide cricket club? I've been there a few times, but I odn't remember it being all countrysidey. It looks pretty.
