Opened Ground

In memory of, and tribute to, Irish poet Seamus Heaney.
13 April 1939 ~ 30 August 2013
Fittingly for a great poet and Nobel Prize laureate, his work is going out of stock at online retailers as people clamour to get their copies. I have North (1975) on my shelf and Stepping Stones on Audible on my computer. Now I have Opened Ground on the way to me from bookdepository.co.uk - but many results are 'currently out of stock'.
I can't wait to study Irish literature (and poetry in particular) even more, and to visit the two Irelands. I regret that I can no longer sit in on one of Heaney's lectures.
Some believe it was no co-incidence that Will

and we sang dirges in the dark
the day the music died
I had the privilege of seeing singer-songwriter Don McLean in concert last night. Though I'm off from work sick, I got through the concert with only minimal horrendous coughing. I even managed to sing along (by invitation of the whole audience) with American Pie. (I say 'by invitation' of the artist because usually I just sing along anyway and piss off those in the audience around me. E.g. at Leonard Cohen, Radiohead, CAKE, MUSE, Reel Big Fish, The Dresden Dolls (twice), Flogging Molly (three times)... okay so often really. ^^;)

Hello!
Still #lit-lashing? I hope so...
Still #lit-lashing? I hope so...
Oh, when I can. Life's gotten a bit whacky.
I'm actually not ALL that bad. I'm just interested in history. Unfortunately, it just happens to include the, for lack of a better word, darker part of history.
I do believe you. If it were me however I would go to greater lengths to appear not to glorify that particular villain or to show insensitivity. While I understand that there have been other atrocities not given nearly the same infamy, I also must accept that the Nazis are the singularly most hated group in modern history in my culture. If I appear to hero-worship one of the most hated of that group, even if deep down that's not who I am, I'd have to accept that I was going to take more flak than almost any other interest on earth. Of course, some people love flak...
Thanks very much fro your fave on Breathless 
I would say "Keep up the good work," but that'd be a bit redundant. I know you will, whether I wish it or not!
