muckefuckToday my mood has been shifting on a dime. The happy CTA guy at the train station greets me? I'm happy. My train is late? I'm annoyed. Cute guy on the train? I'm happy again.

It took me a little while to be sure because it's hard enough making out scribbly handwriting in a language you know well, let alone one you barely know at all. But, yes, Irish Gaelic. Now I'm annoyed I can't make out more than isolated words, because I'm intensely curious as to know what the notes say, but at least it's a good kind of annoyance.
