ireland

I've been thinking of going to Ireland for a weekend in March. There was an ad in Spits today by aerlingus, and they offered 6 euro flights from Amsterdam to Dublin. There are a few restrictions and unfortunately I cannot go during St. Patricks Day celebrations cuz it's too expensive by then. But for the dates that I've chosen (March 11-14), it'd only be 63 euros! Now I'm thinking who can join me...

My boss is from Ireland and I'm going to ask her about Dublin. While in a meeting with her today, I noticed that one of her artificial french-manicured nails had chipped off. It was the first time I had ever seen her 'real' finger and 'real' fingernail. You'd think that for someone who wore artificial nails all the time, it'd be because they had some horrible disease hiding underneath, perhaps yellow nails or mold and whatnot, but her nail was just a regular fingernail, and nothing more.

ahoy! first comment!!!!!

i can't wait until the trip. it'll be my first int'l trip since coming here. w00t. thanks for the heads up, btw.

i had no idea people actually wore fake fingernails, though it makes sense now, b/c how else could they have maintained it for so long?
