Daylight savings time is really jacking with me. I used to use the daily lunch conversation in here to make me vaguely start thinking about lunch. By the time I was actually arsed to make any, it was actually lunchtime.

But now suddenly I'm hungry for lunch every day at 9:00am. Which is not on.

I had leftover tacos, just like yesterday. My taco supply is now gone.

I like St. Patrick's Day, because I wear my kilt and people wear green. I don't go out, so I don't see the drunkenness.

This is me!

I love St. Patrick's Day because I love reading Seamus Heaney poems to my class and I love doing a brief overview (for my mostly immigrant kids) about white people immigrating and facing the same level of gross discrimination and their ultimate assimilation. I love wearing green pants or my green docs. I like corned beef (but no cabbage, thanks anyway) and I love celebrating the sput and I adore Soda Bread. I like chocolate cupcakes made with stout.

As far as holidays go, this is one of my favorites as it requires no purchase of gifts, nor hallmark cards, nor the roasting of a turkey.

Can't you just get with the daylight saving program??

So, I'm reading a mystery book that takes places in Olden Tymes New York, and includes several families where the fathers are Chinese and the mothers are Irish -- from the time when Chinese women were not allowed to immigrate. I wonder about the real history there. (I mean, I'm sure it happened, but wonder about the details and how common it was.) But maybe not enough to actually do the research!

So other people can see the poll results, right? [link]

Are you saying I can eat my lunch now? Despite the fact that I ate my breakfast (checks computer clock) fifteen minutes ago?

Because you know I'm not waking up in time to eat my breakfast east coast time. So the only possible solution is for me to eat lunch early. Right?

I'm wearing green today, and I likely won't see another living soul other than the SO. But I'm okay with that.

Oh, yeah, and yes we can, tommyrot.

I kinda wish there'd been a mildly optimistic option between "save us all" and "not much" but I chose "not much" anyway.

I'm wearing black and grey, with bluejeans.

There was a PBS program on the history of the Chinese in America and they talked about just such a demographic bubble in Boston. The couples tended to take the Irish name.

Yeah, interesting.

Clearly. Of course, that will lead to me eating my lunch at 10:30 east coast, when I start getting hungry, and all will be madness!
