You say it's your birthday
Thanks for the well wishes! To continue with Ebear's theme, I am most pleased to share the birthday with King Sunny Ade and Bonnie Hunt and Erich von Stroheim--and Ebear, Bilbo, and Frodo, of course. Andrea Bocelli is in there somewhere, too.
Today was definitely low key. After working as usual, I'm going to go to Albertson's to pick up my prescriptions (zowie!), maybe get one of their roasted chickens (whoa!), and if I'm really wild and crazy, a side dish. (Can you stand the excitement?) Perhaps I'll pack two boxes tonight instead of one. (Wooha.)
The big celebration is on Saturday when my nice and wonderful friends are taking me to the Magic Castle in Hollywood. I get to dress girlie and wear makeup and smelly stuff and all that and to eat reallyreallyreally well and drink and not drive and watch magic and laugh a lot. It should be fun.
One of my friends who has a bad case of The Depp is trying to convince her husband that it would be a good idea to make a slight detour to Grauman's for a viewing of the sacred hand- and footprints in the forecourt there. Husband is understanding of the compulsion, but less than convinced this is a good idea.
She drives every day past Grauman's on her way home from work and looks longingly at the forecourt. Her carpool has been less than convinced about stopping, too. I promised her that we would go on a pilgrimage some day soon.
Husband generally keeps his humor about her whole thang with The Depp since he understands that once The Depp has a grip on a person, it's hard to shake. When we went to see The Brothers Grimm a few weeks back, he said to her very seriously, "Now, Pam has explained to you that Johnny Depp isn't actually in this movie, hasn't she?"
Quote of the day:
"It is permissible to rape history on condition that you have a child by her."
—Alexandre Dumas
No, no, I don't want to hear anything about what a brutal act of violence rape is. We all know that. I think Dumas was being intentionally provocative here. If not, it's a pretty good example of the paternalistic nature of much of history, isn't it?
It may also just be an historical writer's way of saying that he plays fast and loose with history when he writes.
Sigh of the day: I'm still waiting for my reward/punishment. I don't like to wait. I have the patience of a five year old on a long car trip. Come to think of it, I am a five year old on a long car trip.
Bears are strong and independent creatures who roam in the forest in search of food. Bears are usually gentle, but anger one and be prepared for their full fury! You won't back down from a fight, you have a bit of a temper -- classic attributes of a bear. Intelligent and resourceful, though lazy at times, you are a fascinating creature of the wild.
You were almost a: Pony or a Duck
You are least like a: Chipmunk or a MouseWhat Cute Animal Are You?

What tattoo would you have?

Go crazy and get the side dish, says I!

I just might. You only live once, right? ;-)

(just don't get too many sidedishes, or you won't live long that one time)
