3*3*3
Happy birthday to me.
Despite spending the best part of the last year convinced that I was 27 already, this birthday seems oddly significant, for reasons I can't quite put my finger on.
It's certainly living up to it so far, starting as it did last night at the game, where I received tasty dinner, caaaaeek, my players being crazy at me, a book combining Pirates and Great Cthulhu, and the classiest motherfucking cigar cutter in the world. This morning brought whisky, tea-making accesories, a rather fine leather and pitch goblet that I'll go out of my way to get use out of, moneys, and a selection of books, the cream of which was a tome called Pooh and the Magicians. To quote the back:
At the very heart of the Ancient Mysteries of the World sits the Great Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh. In astrology, where even a constellation is named after him, in Alchemy, in the deeper secrets of Hermetism, Druidism, the Qabalah and in the interpretation of the Tarot, Winnie-the-Pooh is a master of every branch of magic lore.
I lolled.
Opera stuff
Celebrations continue tonight with Gilbert & Sullivan in the apt setting of the castle court. Now, this is at 7, and I understand that there are actually quite a few folks heading along for kultcha'n'shit. I therefore propose assembling beforehand for an early dinner and drinks. So that people may just arrive when they can, I suggest (top) Wetherspoons. I'll be sitting there from around four 5, but anyone who wishes to join me can do so when they wish. Hell, even if you won't be coming to the opera, I welcome well-wishers!
Spread the word.
Right, I'm off to spend birthday money.
Edit: Decided getting back to town for 4 would be a bit of a rush. Will be in W/S from five.
