Yeah. It comes in determined or happy.

Yeah. Don’t forget the coffee, the heroin, and the racist cookie.

MANU!

The CNN live feed with Facebook is pretty awesome, I have to say.

Sure, I’ve experienced similar major events on a MOO, using IRC, or in an IM chat room. But this is pretty awesome. Particularly the explosion as he was sworn in. My Facebook and Twitter Firefox plugins caused a flurry of toaster style notifications, all at the same time. That was pretty cool.

EDIT: Hey runstaverun, there’s a perfect LJ community for you that might just save your life: can_i_eat_this.

My 31^st trip around the sun. Thanks for the IMs, emails, calls, Facebook wall writings, etc. I feel the love.

Now all I want for my birthday is:

• To have Malaysian yet again today.
• To get some more T7.5, finish off exalted with Sons of Hodir, and get the last 1.8k gold I need for the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth
• To get an engineering teleporter to K3, and where are my wormholes?
• To get a replacement for Dodgeball. WTF, Google? Now I’ll have to actually call mingtm when I’m in the city, and email runstaverun to harass him when we’re out drinking together.
• A perfect margarita

Time to get started on some of those.

Last night jedimentat called me shortly after midnight, staying up late to wish me a happy birthday despite having to get up before the sun for work. As I was on the phone with her, graye mentioned to my guild that it was my birthday. They joked about singing, people gave me cupcakes and the like, and so forth. After getting off the phone a call or two after jedimentat (who was first, if you don’t count people on Facebook who didn’t wait for midnight and bizarre companies who emailed me before midnight as if based out of Europe or Newfoundland), they asked that I answer future calls with my mic open, so they could laugh at ‘em. But no more came, so they lived without it.

Plans for this year’s annual party (a joint affair for petemagyar and I) are made. If you’re not on Facebook and didn’t get contacted by me, harass me, and notice my face burning with shame. I’ll hook you up with the details. jedimentat‘s throwing me a smaller romp through the city this Saturday night, and there will be events for her birthday (a week from today) as well.

Insert usual excuse about not updating more often here.

And I leave you with a picture of my nephew. My nephew’s cuter than your nephew/niece/little cousin/child/young friend/whatever.

It’s not surprising, as the former was eighty and the later was eighty-eight, but Patrick McGoohan and Ricardo Montalban both passed away today. Many hours spent watching the television work of both. Damn.
