Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Our wings are not tired.

It is a day of celebration! Happy birthday to Amy! I hope you have a day filled with treats and that the year to come is a delight. (Did you have the earth move beneath your feet yesterday?)

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home

Happy birthday, Amy!

It's also Alex's birthday--he's 20 today, which is making me feel all the usual cliches about time going by too fast, etc. We're taking him out for lunch at a conveyor belt sushi place to celebrate.

It is always a shock when I see that the Buffista babies have become adults. I hope he has a wonderful day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Birthday happies to Amy and Alex! Conveyer belt sushi sounds like a good celebration

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Amy and Alex!

And hotel booked! Yay!

The rest of the weekend’s less-fun tasks are doing our taxes and sorting out Dad’s medications.
