It's my birthday. I'm at work, and just got 2 Edible Arrangements fruit bouquets delivered, so everyone here is helping me eat all the pineapples, strawberries, grapes, etc. I might be going out to a bar trivia night thing with some people later, which isn't really specifically for my birthday, just happens to fall on the same day ( Read more... )

I just found out that The Simpsons Season 12 DVD is being released on August 18...my birthday!

Between that and Counting Crows playing here 3 days afterward, this is going to be a pretty cool birthday!

Well, to be more specific, good morning Baltimore suburb of Linthicum, but either way, Yay for free wireless internet at the hotel. And happy birthday to me ( Read more... )

Hurricane Dean is heading for Grand Cayman, home of the friendly sting rays. It's also supposed to hit some of the other places I've been this year, including Cozumel, which still hasn't completely re-built after Wilma in 2005. Some jerk over on Cruise Critic was complaining that his cruise this week was re-routed from the Western Caribbean (i.e ( Read more... )

I finally made an icon for Captain Crunch. Isn't he cute? It looks like we're going to keep the name, but he has also acquired the nickname Harry Plopper, due largely in part to his litterbox habits.

Bruno Kirby died this week. He's a character actor who has been in lots of things, but of course the reason I am writing about him is he played the limo driver in Spinal Tap who is talking to the band about Frank Sinatra & Sammy Davis Jr, and Nigel raises up the divider. "When you've loved and lost the way Frank has, then you know what life's ( Read more... )

Here it is, four days after my birthday and cards and well-wishes are still trickling in. Today at work, the mystery of the missing birthday card was finally solved. In my office, every month, birthday cards get passed around to sign. So I've signed about a hundred cards in the last year (I started working there about a week after my last birthday ( Read more... )

This turned out to be a pretty good birthday. I ended up not getting the Simpsons DVDs, but I did get something very cool. My aunt sent me a whole set of Simpsons bathroom stuff- shower curtain, curtain rings, bathmat, towels, and wastebasket. It's so cool, and I'd never even seen any of this stuff before. So now I can re-decorate my bathroom ( Read more... )
