Oh, I had forgotten that my birthday dinner at my MiL's was shared with someone she had recently met and I met that night. No cake, lemon meringue pie instead. Which I really can't eat with the eggs and the likelihood of corn starch, but the other birthday girl preferred pie to cake. Didn't help that I couldn't drink, but that wasn't anyone's fault.
I'm not one for making a big deal about my birthday, but that was a drag.
That face rec thing told me Christina Ricci and Gwyneth Paltrow for pics with makeup.
The what now? Is this something I missed skipping?
Try NEVER having a birthday to yourself.
And for me, the baby Jesus kind of hogs all the attention. I don't really mind not celebrating my birthday (I generally just give myself permission to be lazy, and occasionally spring it on people to see if I can get free stuff), but it would suck to celebrate it and share it (actually, I've shared parties, but that was entirely by choice).
Hey Ple, the most recent Teen Titans introduces Kid Flash. He's sweetly Bart-like.
I remember the Doldrums
Don't say there's nothing to do in the Doldrums
Don't say we diddle away the day (we don't!)
We dawdle a bit, and then
We loiter a while, and dawdle again
We gather our strength to start anew
On all of the loafing and lounging we still have left to do...

And who forgot to tape it when she went out last night? The dimmest girl in all of Ohio, that's who.
I don't think Cask of Amontillado had much atmosphere either. It was just very...there.
I also realised that although I know of Jekyll and Hyde, I'd never read the story and had no idea how the narrative was structured. That one I liked, although I can't imagine what it would have been like unspoiled.
I
really
liked The Time Machine, but now have to hate the movie.
What else did I listen to? Oh, The Fall of the House of Usher was dumb. I spent most of it wondering how many times some oh-so-clever music writer had used it to title an article about Usher, and whether Usher would ever use House of Usher as an album name.
Poe really had a thing about being buried alive, as far as I can tell.

That's tragic, 'cuz god knows they never rerun Teen Titans eps.

Hush, you! I'm Instant-Gratification Girl and need to see it nownownow.
Back from a breakfast and shopping trip with Kat & Lori which was, as you might imagine, awesomely fun. We all did very well in the acquiring on-sale consumer goods department.
NCistas, I have a directions question. I'm going to Duke tomorrow. Do you all suggest 15-501 through Chapel Hill or I-40 to 147 (I think that's the highway). I need to be there at 1:00 pm.
