The best thing about getting older.. people give you stuff.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kengr for the fun package of random weirdness. The stickers will be used at the next TAS party.

[livejournal.com profile] jemstone, perfect choice, and you're right.. you need to have parts one and two. Very interesting to hear how the band has changed in the intervening years.

[livejournal.com profile] valkyrwench, thanks for feeding my need for epic mythology. I can't wait to see the looks at work when they see me reading Das Nibelungenlied in my truck. Conservatives Without Conscience was a nice bonus.

[livejournal.com profile] baka49er found yet another neat t-shirt for me.

But last night was all about the tacos, Kylie, and my sister's career in smuggling basketballs (she's ready to pop.. had a contraction during dinner.) Kylie is just amazing, she tells stories, loves to sing, has good table manners (except for trying to crawl onto the table to get the entire cake) and was fun to be around. she suggested that we sing "Happy Birthday" twice. No problem there!

Amazingly, I didn't make a pig of myself. Ate two big tacos, and one piece of cake. Coming off a four-day convention and having a bit of a stomach issue right now might have had something to do with this. Kiri and I were both very tired. Kind of a pity, because the food was excellent and I would have loved to have more. We let Ann have the leftover cake ("I'm nine months pregnant, I'll eat it!")

We need a good iron skillet so we can do our own corn tortillas.

Today? I think we're crashing. May go see Transformers later.

Happy birthday wishes to my fellow 7/4 crew.. [livejournal.com profile] figmo, [livejournal.com profile] apandaleaf, [livejournal.com profile] justnate, and sister Ann. But not the Incoming Niece, who wisely decided not to clutter up the 4th any worse than it is now.

Glad you liked it. :)

They're one of my favorite bands, and have done some really interesting things to themselves since they began, and go very unexpected places.

When I get onto my work laptop either much later tonight or tomorrow, I'll post the letter I wrote to KFOG trying to sell your idea of a fourth of July/Doug's birthday 10 at 10.
