Happy St. Patrick's Day!
How are you going to celebrate?
Drinking green beer?
Guinness? A splash of Bailey's in your morning cup of coffee?
Parades and bars and wearing o' the green?
I'm having my friend Kim, from On the Wings of Books, over to watch Irish movies and drink green shakes. I'll probably have some Guinness tonight in honor of me da. But here are the movies Kim and I are going to watch:
Leap Year
Once - best film ever, go watch it now, my post will wait.
Boondock Saints*
Circle of Friends (not originally part of the line up, but Courtney from Abducted by Books reminded me of it, and she's planning on watching all of the above except Boondock Saints)
Dancing on Dangerous Ground- based on the Irish myth of Diarmuid and Grania, a present to myself.
Lord of the Dance- a gift for my mom, although I love it too, despite Michael Flatley's arrogance.
My mom also gave me the Irish Princess necklace that I artistically and purposely draped over Flatley's weird chest.
*Boondock Saints stars the lovely Sean Patrick Flanery and the yummy Norman Reedus, of Walking Dead fame.
Here's something else that I want to get for myself:
And because I haven't properly introduced my gorgeous great nephew, Weston Emerson:
(not ready for his close-up)
But it's his hair that makes him so delicious, so here's better pic:
See those highlights?! He is so ready for his first boy band mall gig!
So go, have a great St. Paddy's Day! Curl up with a Maeve Binchy book, or go drink til you puke green!
