Happy Birthday, Friends O' Mine!

I send out the most lovely and wonderful birthday wishes to both Alan and Ben. I went to their birthday party today, and it rocked my face off. Props also go to James, who, bless his dear heart, brought us supplies when we had run out of them.

Also, i've been thinking about it, and the Spice Girls' getting back together is kind of making my day. I hated them when I was in the 6th Grade and they were cool, but people seem genuinely excited about it, and bless them, really. I must confess, however, that the lyrics, "If you wanna be my lover/You gotta get with my friends" has always struck me as odd. That's just...weird. You gotta get with my friends? In my universe, "get with" is not something you want your boyfriend to do with your friends. But maybe that's because I'm from the Delta. Every damned thing is weird in the Delta; it's completely different from Britain.

And speaking of Britain, Masterpiece Theatre is going to be devoted to Jane Austen next year. Jane Austen is amazing; I just finished Persuasion, and like everything else of hers that I've read, it rocked my face off. The only thing that comes near Jane Austen books is BBC/ITV adaptations of her works, and I can't wait to see them on MT. The TiVO is going to be fired up for those.

Lastly, I'd forgotten how much I loved Weezer. They are a damn good band I got to see live after my freshman year of college. Guitar Hero makes a person remember these things.
