Joyce fans of the world, unite! Today marks the 101st anniversary of Ulysses character Leopold Bloom’s Dublin odyssey, and fans worldwide will celebrate in a variety of ways. (Even Yahoo! is hip to Joyce, commemorating the day by compiling Bloomsday search buzz.)
Perhaps you’ll have a pint of Guinness later, or maybe you have a hankering for a gorgonzola sandwich for lunch (at Davy Byrnes Pub, perhaps?). Or maybe it’s a good day to finally begin the epic task of reading Joyce’s tome (or doing what most people do — pretending to read Joyce’s tome).
Anyway, does anyone have plans to celebrate Bloomsday? If so, be sure to give us a report. If not, maybe you should make some. There’s nothing like literature to inspire some good revelry…

When I looked at the LitKicks headline feed on My Yahoo page this morning, I swear all I saw was brooklyn’s post from yesterday and then firecracker’s post today. But now when I check back a couple hours later, I see that a post by Jamelah has appeared in between those two posts. Did I just somehow not see this post before; because if what I saw earlier was in fact true, the only way for Jamelah’s post to appear where it is is if there was some sort of rip in the fabric of space-time, and I thought stuff like that only happened in The Matrix.
