New York Baked Cheesecake that my aunty made was so good. :o I'm quite glad that my uncle thought to nominate that as the cake of the day when I mentioned that's what they might eat in NY last weekend. And they were busy dealing with a new house so I didn't get any present today and they'll get me something from NY! :D
And it was kind of relaxed, my uncle did go off early for the footy, (hey that coat was pretty smart looking btw uncle!) but overall less rushed/shortened than when my cousins 'have' to go off to meet their bf or whatever.
The three-way birthday singing was a bit of a failure, but I blew one of the '21'st candles out leaving one for my uncle to blow out and then my cousin to cut the cake. I liked how that equal-ness played out so it wasn't all "my" birthday focus but the three like it was meant to be.

When Harry Met Sally 2 with Billy Crystal & Helen Mirren from
Billy Crystal+I saw this funny or die video a while ago and my head kind of reeled a little.
+I mentioned the other day that Australian actor Bill Hunter had passed away, but I think I neglected to mention that for people who wouldn't normally know who he was he was the voice of the dentist in Finding Nemo. (One show of many works he did.)
+And the two links I updated yesterday: My
fanfic request list and the have seen ‘
consumption’ list (TV, books, movie etc).
+I actually have a few Glee icons now…I found a few I liked. This is big because for the most part my icons are the fandoms or shows that are really part of my life; the majority of my saved icon folder is NCIS and Doctor Who. With a medium batch of Bones, CSI’s(as all three count as one here), Castle, Life, and a few smaller fandoms thrown in for flavouring. I also removed a half of my icons/usesrpics and put a
new lot up.
+I can't believe it's past halfway to the 'mystery' event. I'm sad that I won't be finished the season of a TV show relating to it but I doubt it'll be spoiled...I hope.

And a five questions meme, because I have a few memes sitting around I should post. Plus I feel like listing my current fandoms (and that's one of the questions!). xD
- Comment with "CATBUS!"
- I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you.
- Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
- Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people.
13066301 gave me these questions.
1. If you were given a chance to direct one of your favorite shows, what kind of madness would you unleash in one episode?
Obviously it depends which show. But I'd love to do so many things with all of my shows, but I would hold back because if I did everything people would A) be very confused B)not want me to direct again C)the writers would kill me for making things weird.
I'd work with the writers because they do the basic storytelling, and hopefully come up with some inspirational pointers to direct a well received episode. (And be able to come back and release slightly crazier stuff as I come back!)
2. Have you ever read something on the internet that you wish you didn't read?
Definitely. Things that make me sad, or angry or scared. But the thing that comes to mind is spoilers... though I have come to terms with different types of them. :P
3. Were you better at math, science, or English back in high school/grade school?
In high school... well, yr 7 I was excellent at them all (if I do say so myself), by middle school years my maths skills had begun to fall behind a few people, and I was good at different kinds of science in the last years of high school I did biology and psychology average to well, and chemistry okay but I did not do any of physics.
4. How many fandoms are you following as of now? If possible, list them all.
Hm, let's list then I'll know (maybe) how many.
Here I'm saying 'fandom current' as anything I've been an active reader, writer or feel really really into the show at the moment.
CSI, CSI: NY, Bones, Castle, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, Doctor Who, Detroit 1-8-7, Lie to Me, JAG, Law & Order: SVU, Harry Potter, Glee, Dark Blue, Community, Nikita.
So, 16 fandoms. That's actually not as many as I thought it would be. I guess I randomly pop back into some like Life, Torchwood, Ugly Betty from time to time.
5. Do you ever keep going back to a certain shop or restaurant? Which one is it and why?
There's a small cafe near uni that is French style and has amazing donuts. I melt when I bite into the vanilla custard ones.... *guh*
PS. 'Three June babies like cheesecake' sounds like an interesting play...
