Well, my usual birthday funk was not to be this year, as I have been surrounded by friends all day. Some, mind you, keep trying to kick me in the arse, but friends none the less. I was treated to dinner at Old Man Rafferty’s in New Brunswick by Darren & Ali, Harlan & Denise, Tim, Margery, and Michelle (who, while she does not blog, does rock. Quite alot.) If you’ve never eaten at Rafferty’s, all I can tell you is this: save room for dessert. Trust me, it’s worth it. Also, I had a steak so large that it quite possibly might have needed it’s own Congressman.
After that, it was back to Casa Los Sussman (where Stacey met up with us) for presents, nachos (thanks again, Ali!) and yet another session of XBox Up All Night. (For the record, yes, I did get my ass handed to me in “Halo” (as usual), but I got my revenge in “Sega Soccer Slam”.) All in all, the best way I could think of to spend a birthday. (I could do without getting shot an average of every 20 seconds, but…)
I’m not sure how I’m feeling this year. Not “older”, per se, but just “old” in general. I dunno.
Becca: go to bed.
M-D: But I don’t have to work tomorrow, and I don’t wanna go to bed yet.
Becca: damnit, man. go to bed, I say!
M-D: What? You’re not the boss of me.
Becca: yes, I am. I got a promotion.
Becca: before, I was merely the coworker of you.
M-D: Hang on. *checks memo* DAMN! How did I miss that? It says here there was a cake and everything.
Becca: you were in that meeting.
M-D: Was I? Must have been asleep. I’ve been known to do that in meetings.
Becca: which is why *I* was promoted.
…”Witchblade” got shitcanned.
Happy Birthday Denise!
Melting Pot…so good. So much food…
Forgot my digital camera, so no photos. But Harlan should have some once his disposable is developed.
Never ever play against Darren in Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.
You’ll have to look for yourself. Photos from Darren’s Birthday are now online.
I know it’s late, and I REALLY should be getting to bed, but I just need to get this out of my system.
Jay Leno, host of the “Tonight” show, is the least funny person I have ever seen perform. I’m sitting here watching a rerun of his show (which, by the way, is terrible as well), and he’s milking this horrid ‘Headlines’ routine for all it’s worth. I don’t remember him being funny 10 years ago, and I don’t think he’s funny now. Why couldn’t they have just given Letterman the “Tonight” show so that Jay Leno could have faded into obscurity? Ugh.
There. I ‘ve said it, and now I’m going to sleep.
