Green is the Colour

And so March 17th arrives, bringing with it the annual tradition where everyone in the whole wide world suddenly realises they have Irish blood and starts drinking Guinness. Or, at least, people just start drinking Guinness - and talking in Irish accents. Or attempting to - it's rather amusing to here an American attempting an Irish accent, it has to be said (although not quite as funny as them trying to be English). Anyways, i completely forgot to wear anything green yesterday and have been the butt of plenty of comments from my colleagues and friends. Part of me feels i should point out that Ireland is actually not part of the UK (as some of them seem to think) but it's own country. Alas, i had far too much to do anyways to even worry about it. I'm planning on making up for it the rest of the week by wearing something vaguely green every day. Maybe. If i can be bothered.

Anyways, not so much a post about anything today, more just a rambling stream of consciousness-type thing.

Happy St Patricks Day!
