Happy Bloomsday!

Joyce fans of the world, unite! Today marks the 101st anniversary of Ulysses character Leopold Bloom's Dublin odyssey, and fans worldwide will celebrate in a variety of ways. (Even Yahoo! is hip to Joyce, commemorating the day by compiling Bloomsday search buzz.)
Perhaps you'll have a pint of Guinness later, or maybe you have a hankering for a gorgonzola sandwich for lunch (at Davy Byrnes Pub, perhaps?). Or maybe it's a good day to finally begin the epic task of reading Joyce's tome (or doing what most people do -- pretending to read Joyce's tome).
Anyway, does anyone have plans to celebrate Bloomsday? If so, be sure to give us a report. If not, maybe you should make some. There's nothing like literature to inspire some good revelry...

TargetWell ... I'd planned to go to Target later but now that you mention it, I think I'll pick up some "provisions" and drink Guinness as I pack for vacation.
Make sure that you stop by Outback Steakhouse for a bloomin' onion when you're out for provisions. Because it's Bloomsday.Ahem.
Now wait a secondWhen I looked at the LitKicks headline feed on My Yahoo page this morning, I swear all I saw was brooklyn's post from yesterday and then firecracker's post today. But now when I check back a couple hours later, I see that a post by Jamelah has appeared in between those two posts. Did I just somehow not see this post before; because if what I saw earlier was in fact true, the only way for Jamelah's post to appear where it is is if there was some sort of rip in the fabric of space-time, and I thought stuff like that only happened in The Matrix.
Yes, that's exactly what happened. You're in the matrix.
Well, see, I'm sneaky.And you're in The Matrix.
I decided to just walk around town all day wearing bloomers.
I noticed it too, shamatha. this is Madeleine L'Engle stuff here. That Jamelah girl is omni-relative.
