There's a large, blank, white wall in my apartment. It creates a hallway and separates the living/dining room from the bedrooms. It's screaming out for a mural to be painted upon it. One with a unicorn and probably some lightning bolts.
There's a great show on RTE every afternoon called Reeling in the Years. It's a half hour long and each episode features one year between 1970 and 1999. It's basically news clips and images from the year's milestone events (both global and Irish--the Berlin Wall comes down, then Cork's hurlers beat Galway in the All-Ireland Hurling Final) set to music from the year in question with home video-esque captions identifying each event. It's awesome. I wish it was available on DVD.
Speaking of things I would buy if I were still in the habit of buying things (remember, I'm a minimalist now. Cough, cough.): oh, my lord.
RIP, YKW?? You'll be sorely missed. And eventually forgotten. But not until I update my link list, so you've got a while.
2 photo essays I'm planning for the near future:
1. The Georgian Doors of Dublin. Brightly colored, shiny lacquered doors? Me like!
2. The Spire of Dublin. AKA the millennium Spike. Built for the millennium, this shiny bit of pointiness was completed in 2003. I'm not sure I like it all that much, but I can't argue with its bigness. Or pointiness.

I think my fish would enjoy watching me "powder my nose". It would be like watching TV for them. Feel free to keep this in mind the next time you want to get me sumin.
Yo Deborah. Totally unrelated to this posting: where's the link to your RSS feed? I want to get your bloggy goodness in my RSS reader rather than having to come here to the site. Get hep to it, yo.
RS-wha? Regenerated Snake Skin? Radiant Skin Softener? Oh, you're looking for a Really Sanitary Scrub. I'll get right on that.
