4 NYC Eyez Only!
Y'heard Nate? Just look away.
As the literary bastard inside all of us knows (and has known for weeks, please) Thursday marks the celebration of 101 years of Bloomsday. I've looked through my schedule, and as it's a day ending in -ay I should be completely free. I'll be making my way downtown to Ulysses, ideally in time to hear Colum McCann. Quit your jobs and join me. Note the complimentary beverages.
"...and sure, we ought really to rest thankful that at this deleteful hour of dungflies dawning we have even a written on with dried ink scrap of paper at all to show for ourselves, tare it or leave it." ~James Joyce, Finnegan's Wake

Grrr. It happens to be that these illiterate idiots (alliteration) who run this school have scheduled a two-day exam starting on the day of the bloom. If only today were the sacred day, as I'm done for the day at 11:00 and have nothing to do but a dodgeball tournament at 1:00. Alas, I don't think I'll be able to join in the festivities, but on the bright side my darkest english major secret shall not be revealed--that I've never read the novel in question. Gasp.

I already posted a comment, but it's not here. What's going on? I don't understand bloggyspherics. I said I can't come to Bloomsday because I have a test but it was in a funny way.
