"Still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise." |
((The Music)) A week of Irish music! Starting off a week of Celtic music is a traditional Irish folk song about...seaweed! Yes, seaweed. What is St. Patty's day without seaweed. "Dulaman" is actually about a mother and daughter preparing the younger woman for her suitors. Seaweed is thrown in there because it's important to make something from the best of Ireland. The seaweed ends up stealing the girl if I translated that correctly. Rock on! ((The Life)) Dig this - I was asked to join Phi Theta Kappa, the Honor Society! After my less impressive start this semester, this was a great show that I'm not as big of a slacker as I thought. After opening the letter late last night I did a little Snoopy dance, then called my guy to tell him. He worried about this being a sorority thing. I snorted. After reassuring him that I wouldn't have to go through any initiation process of chugging beer or kissing some random guys on campus, he gave me the big thumbs. I was slightly giddy. Still am. Ha! I was so excited that I started a new contest. Thrilled I am about how it turned out. While it's been less than twenty-four hours since I opened it, I've gotten over thirty lookie-loos. Hopefully, I'll get a few people to write and enjoy the contest. If you want to check it out:
