On a quick search to see who shared a birthday with me, the first name to come up was Kenny G<\/a> – am I the only one who sees this as a bad omen?<\/p>\n

Last night, Kupfer<\/a> (whose blog seems to be updated nearly as often as I have<\/i> a birthday) did some magic tricks for me at the PG club – I, of course, was utterly thrilled. I’m like a little kid in how much I love that stuff, but without any desire to learn how it’s done. He even gave me a small trick of my own as a gift.<\/p>\n

Nicky got me a great book on contemporary narrative theory (YAY!), and a fleece robe (I’m always cold). My mom-in-law got me a computer thriller called Firewall,<\/i> as I’m on a big thriller kick lately. Fitting.
\nI’m hoping that the generous gifts my family usually shower on me may provide something viable towards buying a new iBook!<\/p>\n

I do not feel any older, but am happy to celebrate life. I’ve been feeling a little exhausted lately, and am hoping that my upcoming trip will prove inspirational, beyond that end. When I’m tired, I get down – it’s just not part of my being to stop moving, I think.<\/p>\n

Anybody wanna hang out in NYC, Ithaca, Cuba or Dublin in the next while?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
