2010/10/09: Birthday Haul

So, yeah. I was born shortly before midnight 25 years ago today. Which is to say, 25 years minus ... a little over three hours by the time this gets out. My birthday swag is as follows:

  • Planescape: Torment via Good Old Games.
  • A total of USD$90 from various sources. ($20 of which was actually payment for previous work helping with the new house's newer porch.)
  • A rather nice red shirt from the grandmothers (That is, my maternal grandmother and her partner.)
  • Pratchett books! Guards! Guards! (the sole remaining Discworld book that I did not yet own), I Shall Wear Midnight (his newest book), and The Unadulterated Cat (let's call it nonfiction, about real cats, not these mass-produced poffballs you get these days. A real cat doesn't have a name, but something you yell at it; a real cat has ears that look like they were trimmed with pinking shears).
  • Edward Gorey's The Osbick Bird in wall-calendar form.
  • A pair of secondhand wireless routers.
  • An IOU for two Scott Pilgrim books from my sister; Amazon's delivery speed has failed her.
  • It is entirely a coincidence, but today is when I saw this silly video.
  • 0 sacred tombs defiled
  • 1 pureed flock of starlings

Happy birthday Muffin!

...I have an image in my head of you having a birthday muffin instead of a birthday cake. :P

EmpoleMew

Dang it, we're all going to have that image in our heads now.

Happy birthday Muffin!

@CapedLuigisYoshi: my traditional birthday-dessert is actually cannolis.

CapedLuigisYoshi

Okay! ...what's cannolis?

A wicked haul indeed. Guards! Guards![MUFFINEDIT: congratulations, you screwed up enough to BREAK THE AUTO-CLOSE HTML FUNCTION] is one of, and previously was the singular of, my favorite Pratchett books. Be sure to read the dedication.

Dammit, didn't finish my birthday present in time ;~;

I'll give it to you tomorrow morning cause I just can't continue working on it anymore =-=

John Evans

Happy birthday!

...Man, I haven't had cannolis in years.

Happy birthday Muffin.

CapedLuigisYoshi

I still don't know what cannolis is/are.

xbolt

Happy birthday!

CLY: A cannoli is a tube of fried pastry dough, with a creamy filling inside. Something like that.

Kaiser

Happy birthday Muffin. I never thought of a birthday cannoli before.

Myrrh

Well, there is really only one thing to be said about reaching 1-quarter C, so I'll just get it out of the way:

MUFFIN FOR CONGRESS

universalperson

Happy b-day Muffin!

Tom_Atlus

Happy Birthday Muffin! Hope you have an awesome day filled with cake and fun and stuff.

And more stuff.

Docteur Hartmann

Happy birthday Muffin.
25 already? You're older than I though.
Pratchett's books? Sounds good.

Arcc

Gaaaah. My apologies about that.

Twilightdusk

Wait.

"(That is, my maternal grandmother and her partner.)"

Muffin has lesbian grandparents? No wonder he enjoys Touhou shipping.

CapedLuigisYoshi

@ Twilight: ...That's not exactly correct reasoning...

Dizzy H. Slightly Voided

Yes they are in a lesbian relationship, no there is no cause and effect :P

Player Three

<Insert attempt at being clever by saying "happy birthday" in a foreign language while being fashionably late here.>

Here's to a good year until the next one.

Mariku

1985?...

Mm, Happy Birthday Muffinz. I would've made you fanart if I knew about it sooner, even though I did make fanart, but it was for 10/10/10.

once again I shall wish you a day of happiness, and once again I shall follow up the sending by passing out from exhaustion

a pair of wireless routers? how much wireless does one person need?

Dizzy H. Slightly Voided

My mom said "Well, we have these two old wireless routers, because I'm not sure what you'll need; [name of friend] said he thought the smaller one was more like what you needed, but I gave you both of them just in case ..." (Hint: the bigger one doesn't have a Cat5 or cable in-jack, just a DSL/phone jack.) Also, for the record, the smaller one is a D-Link WBR-1310. I still need to actually set it up for either of my computers to actually use it; my main motivation was just to set up a LAN so I could connect directly to my laptop.

Duran

Happy belated birthday; I'm glad to hear it went so well. If anyone says being born near christmas is awesome, they're lying.

The Blue Jelly

Happy late birthday =P

shenjara

Hey! Oct. 9 is my birthday too! Happy birthday, muffin-senpai. :3
