	2008.06.26 12.11 Birthday wishes HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY... to *YOU,* Maddie! Hope the day is everything you want it to be! :-) Mood: cheerful Music: The birthday song



	2008.06.19 23.41 Smile if you're 50 In case you haven't seen this week's LJ Spotlight, one of the communities being highlighted is fifty_something, which is just what it sounds like: a place where those of us who remember black and white television can come out and play without knowing we're the oldest people on our respective flists. I haven't done an introductory post yet, but have been reading lots of them today; much talk of kids, grandkids, and decades of marriage, but nary a word about anything too provocative (like, say, slash). It reminded me of a freshman mixer at college, with everyone on their best behaviour and looking around the room wondering where the common interests will be found, and who'll become a friend. Come on over if you're interested, or just pass the word along. AARP membership is not required to join, lol! Mood: mellow Music: Peter, Paul and Mary



	2008.06.15 10.04 Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Robin! raises coffee mug in a toast :-) Mood: cheerful Music: The birthday song



	2008.05.27 10.48 Message for Mouse (aka castalie) Happy Birthday to YOU!!!! Mood: cheerful Music: The birthday song



	2008.05.22 16.46 Proust Discovers LiveJournal Thanks to lark_about for passing this along! And don't worry, you don't actually have to have read Proust to find this amusing. :-D http://mcsweeneys.net/2008/5/21kumar.html Mood: amused



	2008.05.21 08.29 NCIS So, does anyone here watch NCIS, or should I just be like Abby and make mop and broom people so I can commiserate with them over last night's season finale? sigh I hope this wasn't an omen of things to come on next week's Lost finale.... Mood: sad



	2008.05.18 01.10 Birthday! Happy belated birthday, french_hobbit! I didn't forget, just couldn't get online yesterday. I hope you had a lovely day. :-) Mood: embarrassed Music: the birthday song



	2008.05.15 10.46 This just hit my e-mail inbox Breaking News Alert The New York Times Thursday, May 15, 2008 -- 1:15 PM ET ----- California Supreme Court Overturns Gay Marriage Ban The ruling paves the way for California to become the second state where gay men and lesbians can marry. Read More: http://www.nytimes.com/?emc=na ***************************************** Go California!**



	2008.05.13 09.22 Florida fires Has anyone heard from fanfromfla lately? Are the fires anywhere near her? j_amanda, I assume everything's business as usual in your part of the state. Correct me if I'm wrong! Mood: worried in California



	2008.05.08 21.46 Reading meme So far this LibraryThing reading meme has only been spotted on French Posse ljs. I thought it was time to let the rest of us play as well. :-) These are the 106 most common unread books on LibraryThing’s collective bookshelves. Bold the ones you've read Underline the ones you read for classes (at least once) Italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish star it if it’s actually on your bookcase and you haven’t read it. ( Drumroll, please... ) I passed on the underlining part of this, because school was a long time ago, and I don't remember all the books we read. Besides, any book on this list read in school has also been reread for pleasure. :-) Mood: good



	2008.05.01 10.36 sigh I've almost forgotten what it's like to post something other than birthday wishes, but I'm determined to ease myself back into the swing of things. And once I remember all the passwords for my political RPG journals, maybe I can get those guys up and running (and talking, at least to each other) again. ;-) First, though, I want to give very belated public thanks to everyone who helped make my birthday so special. Whether it was LJ wishes and v-gifts, e-cards, or real cards and gifts from the ends of the earth (Arizona (pending, lol), Colorado, New York, Scotland, France, South Africa), you all touched my heart and made me feel loved. And that's the best birthday present of all. :-) foudebassan, I don't think I've thanked you yet for your package. The cocoa-dusted chocolate-covered almonds are, alas, only a fond memory now, but your needlework is tucked away safely. And cisne_do_norte asks me to thank a certain someone for the rose, and to tell him "Je pense à toi, aussi." Mood: grateful



	2008.04.24 06.56 Birthday! Hope your day has been brilliant so far, rosybug, and that it just keeps getting better and better! clears throat warbles "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, dear Rosy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!" Mood: cheerful Music: The birthday song



	2008.04.20 08.54 Birthday! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY, TAVI!!!! You should get an automatic "A" on your test tomorrow as a birthday present from your professor. :-) Mood: still sick, but getting better Music: The birthday song



	2008.04.17 15.28 Birthday! Happy Birthday, Rebecca! Desi (see icon) would offer to come chase the furballs under the bed where they belong, but she's afraid they'd beat her up. They're probably bigger than she is ... and fiercer .... Mood: cheerful Music: The birthday song



	2008.02.07 14.20 Package foudebassan, the package arrived yesterday! Love what was inside! I want to say more, but will have to wait until I know Tavi's gotten hers. :-) Where are you, btw? Is it too late to ask for a postcard? Mood: grateful



	2008.02.05 08.46 Birthday greetings waves wildly to attract crazybutsound's attention HAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jem! Mood: giddy Music: the birthday song



	2008.01.23 11.49 Birthday greetings Wishing a *Very Very Very* HAPPY BIRTHDAY to adrianabr** Mood: cheerful Music: the birthday song



	2008.01.21 13.15 Wrapping up 2007 (films) Listed behind the cut are the films I saw at the cinema in 2007. There's one bit of pure silliness (which I knew it would be going in), and one film that I absolutely loathed. Apart from the latter, everything was more or less of the good, and some films far exceeded that. :-) ( Films in alphabetical order ) Mood: calm



	2008.01.20 07.01 Wrapping up 2007 (books) Well, I didn't manage fifty books last year, but here's what I did read... ( Books and authors ) Mood: accomplished



	2008.01.20 06.30 Birthday wishes The Oz Choral Society (Sister Pete, conductor) has stopped by to sing (loose interpretation of the word) the birthday song in maverick4oz's honour. (Actually, I think they really want the cake and punch, which Ryan has promised will be spiked.) foresees another lockdown goes off to gift-wrap a bright shiny shank for Mav *HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAV!!!* Mood: silly Music: the birthday song



	2008.01.15 05.07 Birthday wishes HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! maggie33, hope all your birthday wishes come true! Mood: happy Music: the birthday song



	2008.01.10 10.50 Follow-up on the Megan Meier story Back in November I posted a New York Times article about Megan Meier and the hoax that led to her suicide. Today's Washington Post returns to that story with a very long article that fills in some of the blanks and brings the story up to date. I've copied it behind the cut. ( A Deadly Web of Deceit ) Mood: sad



	2008.01.06 22.52 Birthday! alinewrites is having a birthday. An Important Birthday. The kind that makes Harley's attitude (in the icon) understandable. :-) Happy Birthday, Aline!!! Mood: mischievous Music: the birthday song



	2008.01.06 16.18 Belated birthday wishes I need 2008 to slow down so I can catch up. I still haven't managed a Christmas "thank-you" post (it will be coming), and I didn't even have a "Happy New Year" icon this year, let alone do a New Year's post. And we won't even mention the 2007 50-book challenge right now... But all that can wait. I missed the first birthday of the year, and that needs correcting before anything else. So, greedy_dancer, Desi (points to icon) and I just want to say *HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!!* Mood: like the White Rabbit Music: the birthday song



	2007.12.18 14.40 How's your Klingon? Just one of the reasons I love linguaphiles: http://community.livejournal.com/linguaphiles/3613065.html Mood: amused
