I am bored, and starving, and waiting for Joey to get home. I'm also crossing fingers for
shadesofbrixton's interview, but that's not helping either the boredom or the starvation, sadly. Consequently, I'm drinking wine and doing this meme, gakked from
maitheas, because it is fun.
Go to
Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year...
Events:
- 48 BC - Roman Civil War: Battle of Pharsalus - Julius Caesar decisively defeats Pompey at Pharsalus and Pompey flees to Egypt.
- 1483 - Opening of the Sistine Chapel
- 2005 - Space Shuttle Discovery makes successful touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base, California
Births:
- 1631 - John Dryden, English Poet Laureate (d. 1700)
- 1973 - Kevin McKidd, Scottish actor
Death:
- 1886 - Samuel Ferguson, Northern Irish poet and artist (b. 1810)
My birthday loves Rome! I was destined to fall in love with that show. Rhona Mitra was also born on the same day (yum), but I preferred putting up Kevin McKidd to keep with the Rome-ness. I don't need much to be amused.
