From the New York Times article on Goths today:
I just wore black, but Danielle Willis was a Satanic blood fetishist who had her own 19th-century phlebotomy kit, permanent fangs dentally bonded to her eyeteeth and serious drug problems. I once teased her about her decorative penchant for red velvet chaises, heavy curtains, ball-and-claw side tables, stigmata and other forms of morbid opulence, saying that they didn’t necessarily mean she was goth, just Italian. She clocked me pretty hard.

Nice, Perkins.
You also share a birthday with British news-hottie Richard Wolffe, I found out on "Countdown" yesterday.
The Bush admin is lucky I don't know anything about them, because Mr. Wolffe would only have to give me a little Hugh Grant-grade fluster about his publication "Shedule" and he'd have me. Or maybe he'd ask me about Senator "Obamar"(Don't ask me why that kills me, but it does.)
Maybe *America* is unlucky that I'm not the dingy receptionist at the DOD.
Heh. erika, a quick Googling shows that you share a birthday with Ken Kesey, Little Milton, Orlando Cepeda, Anne Bancroft, Roddy McDowell, Hank Williams, Mary Stewart and Samuel Johnson. That's a pretty sweet assembly of spicy brains and wit and general all-around good personhood. Happy birthday to all of you; you're in good birthday company, and so are they.
I'm following the Cubs/Brewers game over at the Tribune's watch-n-post, and they just took the game from a 6-2 "we're so gonna lose this one" in the bottom of the ninth to extra innings! If they do manage to win this, their magic number will be down to two (otherwise, it'll stay at four).
Strange assortment, but fitting.
I wasn't supposed to be born till November, but I've never been patient.
"Would you *like* me to seduce you?'
Also, James Gandolfini, which I thought was the coolest until you told me about Ms. Bancroft.
But she probably wouldn't dig
"Happy birthday, you fat fuck!" anywhere near as much.
Just a guess.
Wee! Bottom of the 12th, two out, the count's 2-2, and Derrick Lee singles in the runner on 3rd for the win.
Cubs win! Cubs win!
Sometimes my work is weird.
"Buttock injection does not induce adequate levels of antibody."
I doubt that I will be able to avoid participation in the video shoot they're planning for a big client event.
When I took this job, nobody told me that I was going to end up on YouTube.
