Just a quick note to all of you lovlies. Kilkenny was gorgeous, if quite rainy on Day Two. Dee and I decided that Kilkenny Castle = the Irish Pemberley. We also picked up pretty editions of Pride & Prejudice and the Stephen Fry read audio book of Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban. Both are quite fantabulous ( Read more... )

For there be U2 Beach Clips on the Interweb! If they pull a Zooropa and put out a new album before the end of the year, I may just explode from the happy. I'm even okay with them not being in Dublin while I'm there if it means new music - I'd rather have a new record than bump into Bono in Temple Bar.

Okay, so! New U2 concert DVD came out yesterday! Vertigo2005: Live from Chicago, recorded on May 9th and 10th, the latter date being Bono and his daughter's birthday (as well as silverthoughts *g*). Anyway, ( some...well, many thoughts that amuse )

My experiment in cookie baking didn't *fail*, per se, but they didn't come out as well as I had hoped. Oatmeal and coconut will be overwhelmed by semi-sweet chocolate-chips when all put together.
