'Shells'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

My mother and sister cover themselves with "Kiss Me, I'm Irish," buttons and the like. I do not. I try not to drive on St. Patrick's, which in Atlanta has more arrests for drunk driving than any other day of the year.
The only thing I plan to do on St. Pats is make rice crispy treats with green marshmallows. But I have been out drinking by 10am before, at least once with a friend who is now in recovery.
I think I have figured out part of my fatigue, I am not getting deep sleep, I am dreaming non-stop.
I'm planning on making some corned unbeef with cabbage and colcannon. Possibly also soda bread. But mostly, I'm spending today reading the second Hunger Games book.
Me and the cats spent the past hour on the deck, chatting with my neighbor. And now I really have to clean.
Hil, sorry, but you mean the second and third.
So in Chicago, over the last 141 years there have only been 10 March days where the temperature reached 80 degrees. That's not counting this March. This March we've already had three days where it reached 80 degrees, and we'll probably have four more.
So, last 141 years? 10 days. This year? Seven more.
Saturday Silliness: Mobius bagel. Apparently you can take any whole bagel and turn it into a mobius strip. Bonus: room for more cream cheese. [link]
Plus you only have to put cream cheese on one side.
There are even people getting drunk for St. Paddy's in Granada. Crazy.
So we went for Lebanese, which was yummy. No museums today, just window shopping &wandering. Fun!
But I have been out drinking by 10am before
Only in college, once. Since St. Patrick's Day always fell while we were on spring break, the Thursday *before* spring break was Green Beer Day, and the bars started serving nasty-ass green beer at 5 a.m. I got up at 4 a.m. to drink green beer. And while we were waiting in line, in the dark, outside the bar, it started snowing.
And wow, was it surreal to go into the bar while it was dark and come out into daylight.
I also took an exam that day (drunk) and aced it. I don't know what that says about me.
