What I am actually doing...

So I decided to post today on what I am actually doing, since I looked back at my last couple of posts and they have pretty much all been jokes.

Important things I have done in the last week:
1. Did Laundry (2 Loads)
2. Read excerpts of St. Augustine's City of God against the Pagans (Intellectual History Class)
3. Discussed the possible reasoning for William Pitt the Younger's first retirement from the post of Prime Minister (Napoleonic War History)
4. Learned about why Scotland was so important during the 18th century to Britain, despite being only 10% of the population of the British Isles.
5. Wrote a paper analyzing primary source documents regarding the process of urbanization and the rise of middle class consciousness in Scotland during the first half of the 19th century.
6. Made several cups of tea.

Hmm.... Maybe I should stick to jokes....For the record, I had really witty commentary to go along with this list, referencing everything from Godwin's Law to how the Twilight novels have ruined modern publishing. But I decided instead to stick to my list, because I am tired. I'll just let you imagine in your head all the incredibly awesome things that I am doing.Things so awesome that they would make me so tired that all I can do tonight is write a mundane list of my schoolwork and domestic habits.

And this. "By the way, the picture is called flying kilt warrior". Greatest picture title ever.


In other news. I'm heading to Ireland this weekend. I need a Dublin playlist. Suggestions?

  1. You should check out Frank Mackey and the Keltic Cowboys - I've only heard one of their songs, but it's called "Kiss My Irish Ass," so you know they've got to be quality.

  2. I know I don't need to say it, but I am going to anyhow. Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy's. But also check out the Elders. Good stuff.

    AND--I like both the joke blogs and this one. let's be honest wade, you can't keep jokes out, even when you're trying. Quit trying to be someone you're not... geez. :D
