so sometimes when it’s late at night, i listen to irish radio because…
- i love ireland
- when it’s late here, it’s morning there and i can listen to people talk about morning news/traffic as part of my white noise to help me focus
- i can keep in touch with recent news in ireland even though i don’t even know some of the news that’s happening in my own country
- ryan tubridy’s talk show (9am ireland time) is my actual favorite thing because he talks in the same exact way my brain works? like today he started out at the beginning of the show talking about the trend of adult people getting braces on their teeth, and then 15 minutes later he’s gone on 7 tangents and he’s still talking about teeth and oh did you know camera angles can tend to make front teeth seem more pronounced in general so front-facing cameras can make people feel more self-conscious and oh anyway back to the story adults have been getting braces even though they’re in their 20s OH but did you hear about ronald reagan–whose name can be said 2 different ways–there was this other guy who also died recently whose name can be said 2 different ways and i hope his wife is doing okay and
okay listen
it’s 1am and everything on this blog is at least 5 years old and nobody ever pays attention to this blog anymore most of all me and that is completely a okay
but I just got emo about how much I used to love Ireland so much when I hadn’t even been there and how I had a whole tag section on my blog and stayed up late to listen to Irish radio all the time and loved Ryan Tubridy even though I had no idea who he was
who’s gonna tell 18 year old me that by 7 years later I will have lived in Ireland for 3 of those years and have a whole life and community in Ireland and listen to/watch Ryan Tubridy all the time and actually know all of what he’s talking about
wow
