What made me laugh today

I should hope this needs little explanation...

Well what do you know!

My dad comes home today with an extra little something. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have myself a Bodhran! I'm so excited! It is a bit cheeper than some but it still sounds gorgeous. I'm practicing a lot, they aren't easy, but that's half the fun.

Celtic-ness again.

I have recently gained interest in a type of Celtic drum called a bodhran. They sound really fun and cool. It would be fun to get one just to play and it occurred to me if I ever got ahold of one my bagpipe playing cousin, Evan, and I could practice together. Whenever we do get together. 

A fun idea. Now if only I could get one. 

Bodhrans are basically the drum it's self which looks a little something like this...

(That stick thing on the one laying down is what you hold on to while playing)

...and a drumstick called a tipper

Here is someone nice enough on youtube to upload himself playing one one of these... They sound pretty darn cool.

accents

yes I'm already back to Celtic Thunder. No escaping them. *maniacal laughter* *cough* sorry. 

To stray from their music however I thought I'd post an interview or two. So you can hear their accents. 

I like these two best. 

This one is the one right before there show in August 07. The one on the DVD. (look at how tiny Damian is)

And This is from April 6 this year... about 8 days ago (once again, look at Damian - two years changes a LOT)

Happy Easter!!

Jesus Christ is risen today! Alleluia Alleluia!!! Hope everyone has an amazing day and following Easter season! 

Most adorable two scenes ever.

from a movie called Stardust. I've loved this movie to DEATH from the first moment I saw it. It once again contains my two favorite things in movies: Fantasy and Romance. I'll explain the entire plot later. But I'll just say the main two characters are Yvaine and Tristan. (Yvaine is a star by the way, that fell on earth... it'll be explained later.) 

Anyways... at one point in Yvaine and Tristan's adventures, Tristan gets turned into a mouse. It's at this point, once Yvaine is relatively sure Tritan doesn't understand her in his mouse state, that she goes into this wonderful speech.

And later, now that Tristan is happily not a mouse we get this scene.

How interesting...

I noticed ever since I started posting about 4 Irishmen and a Scott my blog has gotten views from lots of different places... Which is great! It's fun to see where other CT fans are from and how they are all finding my blog. *giggles*
