In related news, I turned on an oldies station in the car today, and heard "Day by Day," which surprised the shit out of me. I don't think I've heard it on the radio since the late '70s.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Happy Birthday, shrift!
I was a townie during college, but honestly aside from traditional holiday staples I preferred lunchroom food to my mom's cooking. If I'd gone away to college my reaction to a care package from home probably would have been "Crap! Do I HAVE to eat it?"
I got care packages from my parents during college. And sometimes I still do, though now I'm more apt to send my mom a care package than the other way around. Though she did send us a giant box of red meat that we need to eat in the very near future.
On the way home from work, I heard an interview with a guy talking about Abramoff's various offenses. He referred, repeatedly, to the U. S. protectorate of the "North Marinara Islands". Oy.
They're off the coast of Tortilla.
I got Mister Kitty because his people moved to Saipan (well, and allergies, but the Saipan part sounds more exciting.)
Also? The cat is a freak tonight. Someone must've flipped his switch to ON.
Mom sent me a couple care packages in college. Now I get the equivalent more frequently...in books! Most of the other goodies (spices I can't find here, mixes that ditto) she saves for occasions like birthdays and random holidays. I still get an easter package every year, never mind I don't observe in it any fashion.
sarameg, what's in your easter package?
Thanks for all the birthday wishes!
I took the day off work and spent it watching Stargate: Atlantis DVDs and working my way through a large order of Chinese take away.
Now I have beer, and more Atlantis DVDs, and a few extra widgets for my iPod from my parents.
