novelties


it snowed today. big, beautiful, frozen pieces of lace. and it was cold. but it was a novelty for the Irish kids. they ask me why i take pictures of every rainbow i see, and now i can say, "it's a novelty. like snow."

i made a cross in my irish folklore class today. it's a saint brigid's day cross. there's a picture of it. it required a certain amount of dexterity and even though it isn't terribly well-crafted, i'm still quite proud of it.

went out to charlie chaplin's bar with the international society. i don't fully understand why there is a pub dedicated to charlie chaplin, but i'm learning not to question these things. it seemed like an alright place, but i'm starting to feel extra awkward around the company i keep. they're so young. or maybe i'm just very old.

it's time to buy some cheap shamrock things for st. patrick's day. novelties.
