Steph, congratulations!
Greetings from the train to Galway. Ireland certainly has a lot of sheep, and some ponies with very thick necks. (These have been most of my sights on the train.) I love the wifi on the train, even it is spotty.
I had an evening and the morning in Dublin. I was just starting to feel like I was making sense of it when it was time to go. I have two days on the way back...but I am going to have to have more a plan than I would like to get shit done.
I went to see a play last night. It was pretty well done, except that it was 20 year olds playing character in their 50s and they didn't really go for the physicality of it. It was just over an hour long, thank god, because I was surviving on no sleep, but determine not to just crash.
I must not make any jokes about Gaelic being a fake language in Galway....
Woke up this morning to a local NPR story about the 5 year memorial of the 2/14 shootings. . .followed up by the story about Oscar Pastorius murdering his girlfriend.
Neither of these things made me eager to get out of bed.
That's why I don't wake up to the news anymore, sumi. Too often makes me want to hide under the covers.
Hooray Galway!
What's great about their version of the electronic boarding pass? I don't remember if I've flown them yet...
I don't know, yet, that's why I want to fly and find out. It's all in your phone now, I think, no printing out in the terminal needed, but I can't find where I was reading that.

X-files/Downtown Abbey theme song mashup
Holy shit that's gorgeous.
A dalmation adopts an orphaned spotted lamb.
Adorable!
Oh yeah, I meant to say that mashup is great, and I
knew
the Downton theme sounded familiar!
And The Blood Horse's gallery of new foals for 2013. (They do update this.)
I've flown other airlines (probably American) where my boarding pass was electronic. I'm just wondering if Jet Blue's is different from, I think, American's in any significant way.
Probably not. I don't fly often enough to know that anyone already had them, much less if there are differences between airlines.
