Friday!

Are you watching too much television true crime, if you ponder whether the man in front of you at the supermarket checkout with three bottles of bleach cleanser just killed his wife?

Asking for a friend.

Maya knocked over an entire fresh 12 ounce soda in a glass full of ice yesterday. While I was cleaning it up, I had to wipe off an "I Love My Cat" coaster. smh

What other randomness do I have for today?

I could go for a Biden/O'Rourke ticket. Well, let's be honest, I would go for anyone against the current crazy, with very few extreme exceptions. But Biden/O'Rourke would be interesting.

And OMG, this movie!! From the writer of the incomparable Love, Actually.

Ed Sheeran- "...Hey DUDE." Ha! June 28 release.

Saturday 9: Molly Malone
Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.

1) Are you of Irish descent?
I am about 1/8 Irish, via my maternal grandmother's mother.

2) Legend has it that the heroine of this week's Irish ballad was a real lass. 17th century birth and burial records confirm that a woman with that name lived in Dublin. Can you think of another song about a real historic figure?

Elton John's "Candle in the Wind"

3) Molly sold fish from a cart that she wheeled through the streets. What's the last seafood you ate?

ceviche at Cuba 512

4) The lyrics tell us that, after her death, her ghost continues to wander the streets of Dublin with her wheel barrow. Do you believe in ghosts?

not really

5) This week's featured band, The Dubliners, are obviously from Dublin. They were introduced to American audiences on The Ed Sullivan Show. Today, Stephen Colbert tapes his show in The Ed Sullivan Theater. Who hosted the last talk show you watched? 

Seth Meyers

6) Corned beef and cabbage is a traditional St. Patrick's Day dish. Is it a favorite of yours?

I haven't had it, but I would try it.

7) According to Irish legend, leprechauns earned the gold in the pot they guard by repairing shoes. Crazy Sam can't remember the last time she got a pair of shoes repaired. When the heels wear away, she discards the shoes and buys new ones. What about you? Do you get your shoes fixed (either by leprechauns or just by ordinary repairmen)?

Nope.

8) Do you look good in green, the signature color of St. Patrick's Day?

Yes

9) Random question: Did you more recently sneeze or cough?

I've been sneezing like crazy. Seasonal allergies! Don't move to Austin, SXSWers! ;)
