Done Now

It should not be snowing on Good Friday/Passover/Spring Equinox.

It's SPRING for f*@#'s sake!

Bah.

Girls in Science

Ok, just looked at the comics for today, and I have a new reason to love Non Sequitur.

(That's a really hard word to spell when you're still tipsy. And for the record, I also almost wrote "read" instead of "spell". And took 3 tries to spell "Sequitur" despite it being in front of me. What was that I said about Celts and alcohol? Sigh.)

Happy St Patty's Day!

I just got back from a Gaelic Storm concert at the House of Blues. It was

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

They had a countdown to midnight when we all (band included) would have a reason to be drinking. The opening band kept buying GS rounds of whiskey for while they were performing. And the piper (almost) took off his pants. A good evening all around.

Have a great day everyone and take care. The Celts will use any excuse to lower their IQ by drowning it in alcohol. (To support that statement, you have no idea how long it took me to write this legibly and spelled correctly.)


Oh, and if you haven't seen it yet, watch this video on Youtube.

Shaking the Snow Globe

I'm so sick of snow. I want it to stop. Now please.

More "News"

In a continuing theme, the Chicago Trib today reported that O'Hare airport ranks last in on-time departures and almost last in on-time arrivals. While I'll grant I didn't know we were that bad, I'm not surprised. My initial reaction was the same as to the flu shot article, "um, duh?"

It reminded me of a moment during "the show from h*ll" in Scotland when the lead had gone home to Chicago for the weekend before tech week and flew back that Monday night. Or he was supposed to. As he was flying out of O'Hare, his plane was delayed. The director came rushing over to me in almost hysteria to explain that the evening's rehearsal schedule was changing and why. I started laughing (not the proper response apparently) and explained that the actor should have known better as pretty much every flight through O'Hare is delayed. Rehearsal went on without the actor (turned out to be good practice for later in the week) and he arrived the next day.

This is why we bring a book to the airport.
