Jan. 25th, 2006 07:22 pmLast night was very quiet and today has been pretty uneventful so far. It's Burns Night tonight in Scotland, to celebrate the birthday of Robert Burns, the national poet of Scotland, in 1759. The traditional Burns Night features the Burns Supper of haggis, turnip and potato (haggis, neeps and tatties as they say in Scotland). In official Burns Nights, the haggis is "piped in", carried on a tray behind someone playing the bagpipes, and then Burns poem "To a Haggis" is recited before the haggis is cut open and served.
Soemone told a joke at work today about a man who is in hospital and his first night there he is given haggis, mashed potato and whiskey for his dinner. For breakfast the following day he is again given haggis, mashed potato and whsikey. He is given the exact same thing for all his meals for a couple of days until he gets fed up of it, calls the doctor and asks him why he is given haggis, mashed potato and whiskey for every meal. The doctor tells him "What do you expect? This is the Burns Unit".
I read on the internet that Stephen King has written a new book about a terrorist attack that turns mobile telephone users into blood-thirsty zombies. Sounds like fun. Unlike Stephen King, I do use a mobile telephone, althoguh I very rarely use it, and don't even have it turned on often. It's just there really for emergencies. Personally I don't like the things at all. I'll probably buy the book at some point because I do like Stephen King.
It's my Alfred Hitchcock class tomorrow night, so I probably won't be on-line until Friday.
