O foshil jee yn dorrys da Breeshey

With a brief exception of coughing myself blue in order to walk around the block, I spent most of my day either glued to my work computer or deliquesced on the couch recuperating with television thanks to my mother wrestling the idiocies of Apple TV+, but it was Candlemas, so here is my favorite invocation to St. Brigid courtesy of Emma Christian and nineweaving who first shared it with me Jesus Christ twenty years ago: "Vreeshey, Vreeshey."

That's a really lovely piece of music! The words are nice, too.

I am glad to introduce you! I was singing it in the evening and figured I should share. (I do not speak Manx. I learned it phonetically, from this recording.)

That is lovely song--I have it! Probably thanks to you.

And today is setsubun, when you drive oni out of your house by throwing dried soybeans and then eat your age in them. And, in more recent years, you eat an ehomaki, which is basically just a maki roll in log form rather than cut into pieces. (Hopefully Instagram will let you see this)

You told me about this festival when we were discussing Lemuria! Ehomaki sounds good to me.

Please to immediately view Schmigadoon. N thinks you will not enjoy Schmicago quite as well, but Schmigadoon is worth it for Mayor Manlove alone.

Alan Cumming, sold.

(Man, the second season must be a weird experience for John Kander. I am immensely amused they got Patrick Page, though.)
