Meat Balls and Occasional Tables

What do meatballs and occasional tables have in common?  IKEA of course…  Today is the October bank holiday, so all the offices and banks and colleges and schools are closed. Yay!!  Its kind of like Labor Day or Memorial Day or President’s Day or MLK Day.  Except they don’t name it.  My big plans for today are a pilgrimage to the Swedish furniture store, IKEA, that just opened in Dublin.  It was a very big deal to the city.  Means almost as much to Dublin’s status as a “European” city as passing the Lisbon Treaty.  To join in my IKEA fun, take this quiz:  the ikea game

This is also the 6th week of classes at DIT which is what they call “Review Week”  every department does their own thing, for me in electrical engineering, it’s a week to catch up on labs and take a break from lecture.  A guy in my year said his plan was to show up Tuesday and see what’s going on.  I’ve learned that at DIT, that’s the best way to get info.  So I guess that’s my plan too.
