Revenge of the Leprechauns

I lost count of the pints. I know there was some whiskey amidst the beers.

At any given point, I wasn't really more than mildly-buzzed. I was really enjoying the company of good friends more than the beer. The fact that there were tons of scantily-clad, 20-something young women about didn't hurt at all.

Losing my umbrella while headed out? That was a bit of a blow. I think I left it in the bootleg cab we took.

That hurt, but such is the way of things. I regret nothing.

Slainte

Erin go braugh!

I've no idea if I'm spelling that right. I don't really care.

Two pints so far (with lunch, just fyi). I've already gotten St. Patrick's Day and Thanksgiving confused in my exit from my first watering hole.

Listening to "Wicked Tinkers" and cleansing the body and soul for what lies ahead.

Sweet FSM and it's not even 1pm...

Aaaah! Almost forgot!

I HATE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME!!!!

There. I think that ought to cover me until this nightmare is over in the Fall.

Between the Ides and Erin go Bragh

Ides of March yesterday and St. Patrick's Day tomorrow.

That makes today Friday. I am happy with that.

Helps take the edge off of my somewhat-justified paranoia.

I have to admit, not all changes for the future are grim. Some are just weird.

My jaw hurts from yesterday's dental work. Getting old sucks.

ow

Almost two hours to the minute of needles, drills, numbness, not-quite-enough-numbness, and the sounds of tooth bits getting blasted away.

I can't feel the right side of my face. When I can, I know I will feel pain.

That said, my dentist is nine hundred different kinds of awesome.

But... ow.

OH HELL YEAH!



Here I'm wondering about "The Legend of Korra" premiere and Topless Robot gives me the answer. It's April 14 at 11am.

Plus, new trailer!!!

BLARGH

Working a half-day today. The morning has started off surprisingly-well. I think I'm mostly past my DST-lag.

I still hate Daylight Saving Time. I feel slightly-ashamed I didn't needlessly repeat myself yesterday.

So let me say it again: I hate Daylight Saving Time.

I think I'll have another go tomorrow then let this rest. In pieces.

I bit the bullet yesterday and prepared to downgrade my cable TV package to the most basic level. I'm paying a ridiculous amount of money for TV stations that just air crap. I enjoy USA's offerings, for the most part, but the other expanded channels I used to enjoy (Cartoon Network, SciFi Channel) have turned into shit.

I can stream the USA shows I like online. So... downgrade.

And, just like that, the cable rep on the line offered to put me on a promotion that halved my bill. I can (will) revisit this in September when the bill goes back to ridiculous levels.

Too weird. Too funny.

It's my hope that Nickelodean will air "The Legend of Korra" before then. Otherwise I suppose I can buy eps from Amazon or iTunes or something.

On the topic of "Avatar: The Last Airbender", I saw this:


This was just awesome.

Soon it will be St. Patrick's Day. Mmm... Irish beer...
