Sorry for the lack of blogging on Friday, but I was busy
with birthday activities. Travalon and I had lunch at Vintage, then we got some
hot chocolate at DB Infusions, and then we went to see American Hustle, a really excellent movie based on a true story.
Travalon gave me an iPod Shuffle, which will help when I work out, and a book
of Archie comic book covers. They are
so crazy! Some of them are really old, dating back to the 1940’s, and many of
them are amazingly sexist. Or maybe all women really are backstabbing,
boy-crazy fiends and all men really are clueless and shallow. You’d certainly
think so, if you were from another planet and came across this book.
Richard Bonomo hosted my birthday dinner: spinach ravioli
and black magic chocolate cake! Cecil Markovitch gave me a book by Pope
Francis, he said to make up for the ridiculous wedding present he is going to
give me. My OTHER choir director gave me a card making fun of my advanced age,
and Luxuli and her husband gave me a cheesehead cupcake cake. It was hilarious
but looked too terrifying to eat, with its dayglow orange frosting. However,
Travalon and Catzooks’ boyfriend ate some cupcakes and are still alive, so
clearly it was edible. My parents gave me pumpkin spice tea (to match the
cappuccinos they gave me for Christmas) and a… thing. It is magenta and has
four bendable legs. Speculation about its identity included a Barbie barstool,
a practice udder, a ninja weapon, a cross for stopping vampires, and perhaps
least far-fetched, a ring holder. At some point I will contact Ma and Pa Hat
and find out exactly what it is, but it sure was the most entertaining gift I
received. My boss actually came to the party, and he found my friends very
amusing. He also brought a bottle of Prairie Fume wine. Hardingfele did not
come to the party, but she posted on MyFace about how cold her house was, so
Travalon gave her grief for not being at Rich’s slightly warmer house. She
posted back immediately some lame excuse about why she couldn’t be there, so
clearly she was online all night instead of partying with us, but probably not
reading this blog, judging by her lack of comments. I just love how you can hassle
people in real time for blowing off your birthday party. That’s modern
technology really coming through for us.
