Party!

So I held me a party last night, in celebration of twenty-seven successful journeys around the sun.

Huzzah!

The party started a little shaky, with too much television and not enough talking, but that was rectified by the time I got back from picking up the sushi. I thank television hockey for that. And from then on it was awesome. We played Apples to Apples, watched Office Space, and finished off with a rousing game of Super Munchkins which I naturally lost—my inherent mad skills gave me an early lead, spurring the others to lay the smack down, and thus giving them the opportunity to pass me before I could recover—alas!

An aside on the movie: I asked if anyone in the room had seen the movie fewer than five times. No hands went up. Yet we were still a damn appreciative audience.

I didn’t ask for any birthday gifts, yet

• Steve brought a chocolate cake (tasty!);
• Alex (Nog) gave me George R. R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones, which he says is really good;
• Conan gave me a bottle of Glayva liqueur;
• Div gave me a Future Shop gift card;
• Andy gave me a Wii Classic Controller;
• Bono gave me beer, currently in Gavin’s fridge;
• and for the sake of completion, in addition to giving me his apartment to host the party, Gavin gave me a Canti doll (it was actually a very early birthday gift, given in January IIRC).

So, uh, wow! Thanks, people!

PEACE OUTSIDE!
