Drinaugh is where the hospital I'm working in is. Well, Drimnaugh/Crumlin. There seems to be a long-standing argument about where the hospital is technically located. I'm jealous of your day though. There's something innately enjoyable about spending the day indoors, comfortable, with tea et al, when the day is brooding outside.

There really is. Is it a pain getting out to Crumlin from Temple Bar? Also, I only really know of Crumlin as it's on Dublin Monopoly.

It's actually astonishingly convenient. The bus picks up literally across the street from my apartment complex, and lets off at the same place. Twenty or thirty minutes later, I get out right near the hospital. I have to wait until the end of the week to get my swipe card, though, which is a little frustrating. Oh HR, why don't you do things with immediacy?

Happy birthday lori, and happiest of anniversaries to Plei and the DH!

And I'd like to be the first to wish everyone a happy Talk Like A Pirate Day. ARRRRRR!

Happy Birthday, lori!

Happy Anniversary, Marcontells!

Watched Studio 60-- to me it's like watching a lecture on an incredibly fascinating subject given by the most irritating professor in the world.

HA! And yes, maybe. I don't know. I had mixed feelings. I will watch it again, to see if it finds its feet. I liked the beginning. I liked the end. But there was a lot of drag, in the middle. I also get tired of characters who are drunk or on drugs. I pretty much love the cast, though. I thought Matthew Perry looked hot. Dh thought he looked rough. I think his bone structure was really evident in a few shots, particularly toward the end, and I just thought it was scrummy.

I hope Studio 60 improves. I've got Paul DVRing it for me at work, drat it.

It has potential, Plei.

OMFG, Cindy. Kids who were not yet BORN when they did that show can DRINK. Also, they all look so YOUNG.

No. That's just a trick of maths. There's no truthiness to it, though.

Am sorrowful that no one has put up the Glass Spider tour clips with David Bowie and Charlie Sexton on YouTube.

I'm pretty sure that's when I saw Bowie live--on the Glass Spider tour.

Well, you're right on the money for me, T!C.

Excellent, Ailleann. I know, the other day, you were wondering if you were the youngest. There are other Buffistas in your range. Some are younger, although some of the younger ones don't come around much, any more (sadly). We probably skew older than a lot of places. I don't know. The internet is getting old, now.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, my students thought I was some sort of prodigy when they googled me and realized I graduated college in '89. Hah!

Excellent. Ooh. Gulp. They googled you?!? I should have listened to my father when he told me not to put anything in writing.

I don't know, it was a pretty good time for alternative music. But Bruce and U2 were pretty big at my school as well. It was quite a change from my prep school, which was heavy into the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, etc.

I'm probably forgetting a lot. I wasn't buying music, because I was a broke college student. When we were posting last night, all I could hear in my head was, "She Drives Me Crazy," which drove me crazy.

I don't really know anything about NKoTB, possibly because I am approximately Cindy vintage.

Being from Boston, I couldn't not know about NKOTB, because the local angle was played to death here, but I didn't know much about them -t, and probably nothing on purpose. My mother knows (in a loose, met through business sense) Joey's father, though.

Gronk. Hurriedly rearranging furniture before the carpet cleaners get here. Then tonight I get to rearrange it all back and then have to clear out all the cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom and make sure nothing is on the floor in either room because the building got it into their head to do a mass bug spraying. Feh. I don't have bugs, I don't have anywhere to take the dog so I make have to take time off work, and I sure as hell don't have anywhere to put all that crap.

Happy birthday, Lori! Happy Anniversary, Plei and P!

I was always bitter about the New Kids, being a New Edition loyalist.

I still have an annoying cold with stuffy head and sore throat. I took some DayQuil, which I think is helping marginally, but also making my heart race. Good times.

Birthday Happies to lori.

Sings "Happy Anniversary" song for the Marcontells.
