Eh. You're feeling shitty about it, which is what you're supposed to do. You won't forget next year -- program it into your phone AND email NOW, and get her a special Xmas gift.
Done is done. Try better. And...you're done.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Fay, you're not a worm. I'm really bad at birthdays. Even family birthdays. I'm the worm.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I knew I skipped my Gramma's birthday. We don't get along so well.

I'm flipping through channels and just found a movie version of Annie from 1999. Alan Cumming is playing Rooster. His accent is painful. "I remembuh the way ah sainted muthuh..."

I much prefer Tim Curry.

Yay for balloons and cake. So, what were the tasks?
Um, "buy [meara] a shot", "compliment [meara]", "buy meara a drink", "get the DJ to announce meara's birthday" (sadly that one was popped too late to be possible), and then one balloon I popped at the end because I couldn't bear to pop all the balloons because they were pretty and fun, and it was "ask meara to dance" and it was after the country music stopped at the techno started so I was like "OK!" and danced with myself to techno for a second. Heh.
Then we went and hung out at the leather social (it's some big leather event weekend so they were out in force) and one of my friends was selling leather gear for tiny people (ie women, especially who are smaller than a size L), and asked if one of my friends wanted to model stuff, and we flirted and laughed at her wearing it, and my other friend loved it and bought it for her. It was awesome.

It's also got Kathy Bates as Miss Hannigan. She seems to be having way less fun with this role than she could be. She just seems grumpy. This part requires all-out falling-over bitter drunk.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Belated birthday wishes, meara!
(...Hil, is that the version of Annie that features SpyDaddyWarbucks?)
Went to see Mamma Mia this evening, and am of the opinion that it is one of The Very Best Movies In The History Of Ever for sheer entertainment & feelgood factor. It was like mainlining sherbet and sequins and salt sea air. I loved it!

Yep!
It also stays much closer to the original script than the first Annie movie did.
I want to see Mamma Mia. There's a sing-along version opening, too -- they put the lyrics at the bottom of the screen so that the audience can sing along.
