Vortex, what a great way to mark turning 30!!
Yeah, I really want to do that Joyce walk, Sox. I didn't do Dublin on that trip because I was very broke and could get a lot more for my money staying in little B&Bs and wandering.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I lived in the UK for six years and we never visited Ireland. Just never came up.
Okay, so maybe I take my work laptop to the hospital? I can't work out how to accomplish all this.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ita, can you just tell them you have some plans tonight without mentioning what they are?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
After I lose my weight and then finish off my master's, I'm hoping I can afford to take a few trips to the UK and Ireland. I've never been anywhere--I've never even had a passport--so it's definitely something I want to start doing as soon as I can get the money saved.

I love the way biking lets you experience the countryside so I'm really looking forward to that. It's a 7-day tour and includes an overnight on one of the Aran Islands!
Smokey cube mate is really smokey today. Blech.
UGH! I'd hate that. I've gotten more and more sensitive to smoke as I've gotten older. For some reason, maybe brand or amount smoked? Some smokers smell way more strongly of smoke than others.

I didn't do Dublin on that trip because I was very broke and could get a lot more for my money staying in little B&Bs and wandering.
I went in and out of Dublin on my way to Cork. I missed the last bus of the day to Cork (at 3:30), and had to stay the night in Dublin all unplanned. It was a delicious feeling being alone in a strange city and nobody in the world knew where I was.

I think I mentioned, but a few months back I had a really fun evening out with my friend Kevin and his musician buddy and we had a blast recounting Ireland's history as told by hungover pub goers: "Feck! Enslaved are we? Is it Vikings? Oh, the Moors, eh? And I was going to fight them too, but I had a blinder last night."

Yeah, that's where my mind went too.
