Beautiful days are nice, but they can't really make up for mechanic/car issues. Glad it was easily resolved though.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

So tired. I only snuck in one nap after only sleeping 4 last night and all the crap I did today. Think I've gotten over my current phone-avoidance (of course, that comes with me getting over my writing big-checks aversion- hey, go ahead, take more of my money!)
In summary, mmph.

On my way home tonight a driver was so determined to refuse to let me merge that he bumped the car in front of him. Hello, instant karma.

The latest Tarzan report had lots of tech questions (two for lighting!)from the Q&A:
Why was Tarzan so sad, do the gorilla costume pieces include real fur, how does the set on the back wall change to different colors (which Kyle graciously demonstrated!), how do we find actors to be in the play, how do the spotlights work, where do the sounds come from, are any of the props on wheels, how did they make all the green stuff that Tarzan swings on, how did we get the green fabric tied up high on the sides of the house.
Nice!

Okay, so need some advice. I have friends who are a couple. When it was my birthday, we went out for dinner (with others), and they gave me a joint gift. The two of them have birthdays within a week of each other and the same group that went out for my birthday is going out for their joint birthday (along with one of the other people in the group whose birthday is also within a week). What's the etiquette here? I'm thinking that I just get each of them a little something and call it a day, or should they get a joint gift?

I think either is fine.

I would probably do a joint gift but I can't claim to know of any etiquette for the situation.
