I just read a really bad-customer-service story about United Airlines bumping a family from a long-planned flight to Hawaii. It'll give me nightmares.
Who died and made you Elvis?

Actually, according to my LJ calender, we're two days early.
Heh. Yeeah, me and JenK are on Friday!! Sadly, along with John McCain. And the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
But, um, also with...uh...Meeshell Ndege Ocello, or however the hell she's spelling it these days? And...um...Michael Jackson?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We were just talking about birthdays at lunch! I don't think I have anyone famous on mine, or at least, not so I remember it. Oh, maybe Chairman Mao or someone?
In work news, I have to create a 1-page CV for an academic. I'm starting from 12 pages! I have gotten down to 3.5, which I think is pretty darn good, if I say so myself.

Who isn't born on my birthday?
In addition to the lovely Cashmere and Matt the Bruins Fan, there's Margaret Thatcher, Yves Montand, Marie Osmond, Nancy Kerrigan, Sacha Baron Cohen, and, of course, Chris Carter.

A journalist's job is most definitely not to give his/her audience what they want.
As Mr. Dooley said, the job of a journalist is to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable."

“Not dead yet!”
I love my birthday-- Leonard Bernstein, Elvis Costello, Marti Noxon, Tim Burton, Mel Ferrer (tickles me no end), Geoff Downes, Rollie Fingers, and Sean Connery, among many other cool folks.
Makes up for the fact that I also share the day with George Wallace, Rachel Ray, and Billy Ray Cyrus.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You win.
I share a birthday with the board, so I think maybe I do.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't want a hurricane to hit anywhere, especially since Florida's gotten so much rain lately, but I would appreciate some "no-hurricane-hitting-New-Orleans"-ma.
