Well, it's good ol' St. Pat's, and I'm going to make sure I have food in the flat, because at about 5 PM I'm locking myself in and not coming out 'til about noon tomorrow.

'What? But Kara, don't you love going out for drinks, queso dip, and Shanghai wings on occasional weekends?' Yes, indeed. Especially to Chili's, which has a Chambord margarita (and we all know from Thursday how much I love Chambord). However, I also love being alive, and that will not happen if I go out tonight.

This is not a holiday I feel pressed to celebrate. I have a bar in my flat. I'm friends with someone who works at an Anheuser-Busch-owned theme park. I'm not fascinated by the idea of binge-drinking (since there's no actual fun in it), nor am I allowed to. So I feel no need to find a certain day out of the year, pretend (badly) to be Irish, and use it as an excuse to booze.

Oh, incidentally ... seeing as how St. Patrick's Day is a religious observance in Ireland, all the pubs there are closed.

Poseurs.

So do yourself a favour and stay in tonight, everyone. Hey, now's a good time to review the archives and look at how much my art sucked a year ago! If you have been, don't look.
