It was a great day &#8211; I slept in, got up and did some poking around the social sites. There were a LOT of bday wishes from a LOT of people. I&#8217;m so friggin&#8217; floored. And because I&#8217;ve still not thanked everyone, everywhere: THANK YOU!! I hope this and the other umbrella thank yous works. It means a lot, ya&#8217;ll. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I received my first b-day present of the year at Myspace.<\/p>\n<p>Cemetary Dance gave me a discount code. I&#8217;ve <em><strong>never<\/strong><\/em> clicked a link so fast as I did that one, and ordered 12 issues of CD magazine and <em>Elsewhere<\/em> by William P. Blatty. I suppose everyone on their friends list gets a code on their b-days, but damned if I didn&#8217;t feel uber-special for like&#8230; well, I still do. I once got a rejection from CD that made me feel like I was actually a decent writer. From CD. I mean. Wow.<\/p>\n<p>Rhia gave me <em>Odd Hours<\/em> by Dean Koontz, another hug and an &#8216;I love you!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mom got me a gift card for one of the local stores, where I will use it to buy either another Clegg or Keene novel. Or both. Or maybe that John Skipp novel that&#8217;s been taunting me. o_O I swear it whispers naughty things to me every time I walk past the rack. Mmmm. New books.<\/p>\n<p>So then, Sunday, Rhia and my otherbrother decide we have to go see Harry Potter. That would have been all fine and good <em>EXCEPT<\/em> I missed The Funky Werepig. I&#8217;m ya know, listening to the dl of the show right now, and damn if Mr. &#8216;I&#8217;m Canadian-phobic&#8217; Hall did bday greetings on air.<\/p>\n<p>Sweeeet. PS &#8211; we do NOT shit ice. I <em>bleed<\/em> ice, Greg. Bleed. Ice. o_O LOL<\/p>\n<p>Care phoned home from Kenora last night. She&#8217;s had and is continuing to have an amazing time. She LOVED the Powwow, Joe&#8217;s taken her fishing, she saw fireworks, Joe&#8217;s taken her fishing, they&#8217;re going to see Harry Potter (tonight, I think), Joe&#8217;s taking her fishing&#8230; see a theme here? Good. She caught me a birthday present. I can hardly wait.<\/p>\n<p>And apparently, sometime mid-September to mid-October-ish, I may be taking a small trip west to meet up with someone I haven&#8217;t seen in person for&#8230; gah&#8230; just over a year.
