Happy Birthday To Me!

I had a pretty good birthday this year. Last night was the usual debauchery at the Rheinlander where much fun was had by all and much beer was drunk by yours truly. One casualty of the night was our digital camera took a tumble and finally gave up the ghost. The pictures are safe but it will take me a couple of days to get them off of the memory card.

Today hollyqueen treated me to dinner and a movie. We went and saw The Fog (2005). It wasn't a bad movie but it wasn't a particularly good one either. I was startled a few times but there was never a sense of horror or foreboding. Part of the problem was all the cell phones that kept ringing and the idiots who wouldn't shut up in the theater. I was never able to get into flow of the movie. I spent a lot of time noting all the changes from the original. If you are in the mood for a good horror film I'm afraid you aren't going to find anything in this years selections. You would have better luck turning off the lights and throwing in a copy of the original.

hollyqueen always gets me the best presents. For example, I've really wanted to learn how to sail and this year she gave me a copy of the navigation rules. I love her so much! On top of everything else she's making me spaghetti for dinner. I'm a lucky guy.
