““A few light taps upon the pane made him turn to the window. It had begun to snow again. He watched sleepily the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight. The time had come for him to set out on his journey westward. Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.””
- James Joyce

Well, I’m back from making an ass of myself in other countries. Regular updates will return next week (no promises).

Why is it that I always talk like Irish people when I’m around them? I was just speaking to a lady at Aer Lingus and I sounded like I was going home to County Cork to live with my leprechaun friends and wear tweed and talk about how accurate ‘Angela’s Ashes’ is.

Dublin and Glasgow are officially my favorite places on the planet. I woke up in the morning and got on the tour bus for Dublin. I was, as usual, racing the elderly to get the best seat on the bus. We went into Dublin and honestly wish I were Irish. There were so many pretty girls and good-looking guys. There was Georgian architecture everywhere and you notice that every single door was a different color. I thought that was pretty cool. I passed by Grafton St. Anyone who listens to The Script should know about Grafton St. We didn’t get to go off the bus, which was definitely a bummer, but I did get to go check out Trinity College where Oscar Wilde went to school! There was this guy in the back complaining because we didn’t get to see the Book of Kells. It isn’t even in the itinerary; I don’t understand why he’s even complaining. We went to St. Patrick’s Cathedral and IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I’ll admit, I was running around trying to look for secret passageways. I was sad when we left. I loved Dublin. Too bad we didn’t get to stop by a pub. I really wanted to try Whiskey or Guinness. I guess I’ll have to wait until I get back to the states. I learned that Guinness is actually overcooked beer. That’s about it. Anyway, I came back and had a bunch of food. I’m having a Porterhouse steak tonight. Gotta start riding my bike when I get back. OH YEAH. The cruise charged us an extra $25. THOSE THIEVES.

Look Twice, Save A Life - Make That Two:
If you don’t know the Motorcycle Awareness campaign slogan there it is - Look Twice, Save A Life. However, people need to think a lot more about their driving habits and what it could cost them to be careless.
Recently, there was a really horrible tragedy here in which a police officer lost his life in an off-duty accident when he was hit while riding his motorcycle. I didn’t know him well personally, although I had met him once and he was a part of a very proud moment in my life, I have friends that were close to him. He lost his life because someone was driving carelessly.
Tonight on the news they finally announced the woman that hit him is now in jail on second degree vehicular manslaughter charges.
Seeing the picture, it tore my heart. On one hand, this woman carelessly and recklessly took a life. I don’t know her, but she reminds me of my neighbor, an older woman in her fifties. She may not even have a speeding ticket on her record, she may have kids, grandkids, a mortgage, like to bake or crochet, but none of that matters. She’s going to jail because she didn’t pay attention making that one left hand turn. Maybe she just isn’t that great of a driver, talks or texts too much when she drives, and has had some close calls before and this time it was tragic. I don’t know. I do know that this one time cost someone their life and her because not only is she facing charges, she’s going to have to live with herself forever knowing what she’s done.
It just really brings home the point the fact that when you get in that moving piece of metal, you’re propelling forward something that can cause serious damage and it’s a good idea to act like it when you’re behind the wheel.

COLLEGE PARK, GA!
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal’s program to replace fleeing migrant farmworkers with probationers backfired when some of the convicted criminals started walking off their jobs because field work was too strenuous, it was reported Wednesday.
And the state’s farms could lose up to $1 billion if crops continue to go unpicked and rot, the president of the Georgia Agribusiness Council warned.
. . .
Georgia, which passed an Arizona-style immigration bill in April that is due to take effect next month, has seen thousands of undocumented immigrants flee the state. A state survey released last week found 11,080 vacant positions on state farms that needed to be filled to avoid losing crops.
In grade 6 I had to do a project on a dream vacation. Not sure why, but I chose Ireland. I spent hours researching places like Cork and Limerick, cute little B&B’s as well as museums. I even sketched out a picture of bangers and mash for the front cover. I ended up getting an A+ even though the teacher questioned my mode of transportation. I had written in my project that I was going to get to Ireland on a ferry (first blonde moment!)
Ten years later I bought a round trip ticket to Ireland to visit this enchanting country with a friend from high school. It was surreal to say the least. We spent two weeks in Ireland venturing the countryside, checking out tourist spots, visiting family and of course making new friends. I remember when I came back and shared my stories with my friends they were all in shock. Shut the front door Kristi, shut the front door that did not happen to you (insert chick flick movie here).
In the end I sometimes still can’t believe that in the last year not only did I go to Ireland once, I went twice – the second time for St. Patrick’s Day with close friends. To this day, it still seems crazy that I have friends over there!
The video above is of Two Door Cinema Club’s performance from Glastonbury 2011 (this performance literally just happened). My friend Peter introduced me to this band while I was in Ireland. They have become one of my favourite bands; I even had the chance to see them live in Toronto last September. If you haven’t already heard their stuff I suggest you download it ASAP!
Have a great weekend!

Everything is English and Nothing Hurts. …Yet.
This strip isn’t necessarily a history lesson (just history hints, really), but more of a way to facilitate understanding in terminology and the common confusions seen in America elsewhere in the world regarding the British Isles. In the first panel, they’re wearing period clothing from around 1801 (the year Ireland became part of the UK). Keeping the parenthetical aside in mind, we chose that time/year to make the point (in the beginning) of this strip.
A bit of an educational aside: Before the Acts of Union (what joined Ireland to GB), the UK was known as simply the Kingdom of Great Britain. (This included the countries England, Wales, and Scotland, collectively making up the largest of the British Isles, Great Britain. Go figure.) In 1801, with the addition of Ireland, the state was given the new name, “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.” This is slightly different than what we have today. In 1927, Ireland became a sovereign state except for an area in the northeast, which decided to remain with the UK. (Thusly, the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”)
I would have links for you, but all of this is coming up in the comics, and links will be there, as well!
Here is a nice little venn diagram to sort it out a bit more easily:
As for the flags themselves, that will be touched up on soon in a comic!
