St. Patrick's Day.

Bleh. I think Cam says it about as well as I could have, even if there are some artifacts in the image.

(Actually, I'm as much Irish as I am Scottish. I just don't like St. Patrick's Day.)

Doctor called last night; thyroid is normal, bad cholesterol is about five points too high, and good cholesterol is about three points too low. So I have some work to do, it seems.

On the plus side, it was easier to get up this morning than it has been in a while, despite my not being able to get to sleep until an hour after I went to bed.

But... but... Google looks so nice today!


(If you're looking to be contrary, wear Orange and declare yourself a protestant to the catholic green).

It does, really. And I was thinking of doing that, but for a last-minute discovery that I don't actually own any orange clothing.

(Well, except for a safety vest that I doubt would go over well at work.)

My main issue with St. Patrick's Day, to be honest, is the fact that it's one of the few holidays that's become almost wholly commercialized. A lot of people say that about Christmas, or Thanksgiving, or - well - pretty much every widely-recognized* holiday, really, but I have very little doubt that if you asked the average Christmas celebrant who Jesus was, you'd get an answer that at least bespoke a passing familiarity with the man's legend/history. But almost nobody knows anything about St. Patrick's Day**, aside from the fact that you're supposed to wear green and that shamrocks are important, and that bugs me.

* Okay, in the States.
** In my experience. I dunno, maybe I just talk to the wrong people. :)

An Orioles fan without anything orange in your wardrobe? For shame. :)
