So it's St. Patrick's Day. I'm mostly going to ignore it. Because I'm nit-picky where mythology is concerned (and book-to-film adaptions - go figure! ;) and so I have problems with the whole public interpretation of the myth. Also because I don't like beer. And green beer is better left to theory. Ew.

It is also

smolder! Hope you have a good one.
