And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, msbelle.

Happy anniversary, Laura and DH! And CONGRATS Shir!!

Speaking of St. Patrick's Day, of course there's a big parade here in NYC. Our City Council Speaker, while being the first Irish American Speaker, is also the first openly gay speaker, so she doesn't march in the parade, because they don't let gay groups march. So what is doing today? Going to the White House with the Irish Ambassador. Nice.

Am I the only one who is so over St. Patrick's Day? Is there another "national holiday" that is basically about ethnic stereotyping? Maybe it's living in college towns, but wearing a green shirt and getting shitfaced is not my idea of celebrating anyone's ancestry.

Is there another "national holiday" that is basically about ethnic stereotyping?

Yes. Cinco de Mayo. And certain aspects of Thanksgiving if you're native american.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Am I the only one who is so over St. Patrick's Day?

Nah. Outside of, say, NYC and Boston, it's pretty much just a get-shitfaced holiday.

Oh my god, it's WORSE in other places?

Apparently Savannah has the second-largest St. Patrick's Day celebration (after New York, I guess?) Anyway, on Saturday March 14 there were tons of people wandering the streets drunk at 11am in green Mardi Gras beads. Idiot frat boys dropping drunken f-bombs as I walk by with my kids.

I did like the historic fountain with green water.

In other places, you just get shitfaced without homophobic parades or earnest speeches about the auld sod. Not saying that's better or worse.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yeah, Jesse, that's my reaction entirely.

Chicago dyes its river green.

Around here the "celebration" started Saturday. The TV news did a segment from a bar. One guy - drunk enough to be loud but not enough to fall down - said he'd gotten there early so he could do a lot of drinking ... and wasn't one of the first ones there. sigh.
