Facebook says it's today. BUT! He's on the other side of the international dateline, so it might be tomorrow for him already. Sooooo, for him, belated. For me, I'm right on time! t beams!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I need to lose some weight. My interview clothes were uncomfortably tight.
I think working would help with that, though. I have unemployment weight.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Truth! My aging process has surpassed another integer value (yesterday). I was rewarded with a working lunch on my day off and a twice-vomiting baby (my own genetic legacy, not some random ralphing infant). But the lunch was tasty and my wife gave me an expansion set to my favourite card game.
I also received birthday greetings from my brothers. The first one:
"Happy birthday. Look up alf stewart on you tube to find out all about his rape dungeon."
Not a common feature of birthdays past, though I have been watching a lot of Criminal Minds lately.
The other brother got me (as a belated 40th birthday present) tickets to the 2011 Australian Open grand final. That's good brothering. He did add: "By the way, I'm including two thirds of the money that I owe you, but you weren't expecting to see that again, were you?" But I'm pretty sure he did at least perform the ticketing service.
Finally, I leave you with this exchange from a TV show last night:
"What should we get for Australia's endangered animals?"
"A GIANT WOK!"

Isn't that how he celebrated Mother's Day, too?
Happy birthday!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Happy birthday, billytea!
Heh. I know that my mom is bored and also good at research, so I emailed her to ask if she wanted a project, and sent a link to an IKEA table that was almost what I wanted, but not quite, and asked if she could find one that was what I wanted. She responded with a bunch of links -- two of them seem promising, but still not quite right -- and then asked if there are any Amish carpenters near me. So now I think she's trying to figure out if Amish carpenters will make custom tables, and if so, if they advertise this fact online.

Anyone have suggestions for where to look for mid-range furniture? Stuff made of real wood, not particle board, but not hugely expensive. I've tried IKEA, West Elm, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, Sears, Macy's, JC Penney, and Bed Bath & Beyond, and most of them had something similar to what I wanted, but not quite right. Any other places I should look?
