Another Birthday(s)

As expected, today was a very short and simple day at work, and I am off until Monday.

Also, I have my car back and it seems to be okay now, so I'm very happy to have one less thing to worry about.

Of course, today is Veterans Day, and I really don't think I have to explain how meaningful that is to me. I mean, I went out and enlisted, for crying out loud ^__^

Appropriately, I spent a few hours today playing some team multiplayer in Call of Duty with my buds. I am insanely better at Call of Duty than I am at Halo, and I know it's only been out for a day, but I'm really starting to feel that Call of Duty's multiplayer is a better overall experience than Halo's. More fun, more balanced, a better ranking system, cool perks, great customization, spectacular graphics...

Sorry, Halo. I still love you, though.

Today was also (or would have been) my dog Winston's birthday. There's some carrot cake in the fridge that I'll eat a bit later in his honor. That guy loved carrots. The old "man's best friend" saying was never more appropriate. Greatest dog and greatest friend anyone could ask for. Happy Bithday, Buddy!!!


There's another much less important birthday today, and I'm about to head over to Hello!Online to gush about it, but I always like to mention these birthdays here too. Morning Musume's Reina Tanaka is twenty. Hooray! Ah, what the heck...here's a picture:


I'm looking forward to the five day weekend; hoping to get a lot of this and that done. I've managed to fall behind once again on my DVD burning, so I really ought to catch up on that. Plus, I still have a four-inch stack of comic books that I'm behind on. Hopefully the lack of work will help to take care of those.

  1. For some reason, I am having a tough time believing your dog's name is Winston. I often use Winston as a placeholder name (but have left it there in some cases) for a character in a story I write, and he's also my co-favorite Ghostbuster.
