So. Hi, everyone. Long time, no see.

We got back from our slightly-whirlwind tour of Ireland last night; some kind of write-up is coming soon, as are the good ones out of the 550 pictures I took (well, "soon" meaning "in a few weeks," but anyway). The short version involves cottages by the sea in Co. Sligo, Yeats' grave, several neoclassical homes, some big cliffs in the rain, brown soda bread at various pubs, getting hailed on at a crumbling monastery, hopelessly knotted streets in Dublin, many colorful pieces of vellum, a Norman castle, a megalithic tomb, a classical concert, and a wonder of the world.

And now that my neverending spring break is over, I only have five weeks of classes in which to write two papers and a "memoir." Meep. And then it's back to travelling again, because I still have stipend money left, shockingly enough. Come on, June!

Sainsbury's has black-eyed peas!!! *loves black-eyed peas with a strange passion* Too bad they don't have smoked sausage and dirty rice.

Sainsbury's also has crepe-like pancakes and Nutella, which I have come to appreciate despite my aversion to hazelnuts. Sainsbury's is a very bad influence, you know?

(And theoretically they have soda bread, but I never did find it. Must mooch off of Chandra's... ;))
