hmpf

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind my birthday. But, discovering it's my birthday means I'm *again* several days late in congratulating dashan! Who not only just had a birthday three days ago, but also celebrated it in hospital, which I *also* was not aware of. Clearly, I suck at this virtual sister business. :-(

((((dashan))))

(I swear, I'd never notice my *own* birthday if my parents didn't insist on giving me presents on it...)

Happy birthday also to K., whose birthday I'm pretty much guaranteed never to forget, as she shares mine. Oh, and to magnifica7, too!

Also (ankae and beccatoria, don't read on now, but please do return to this entry tomorrow and the day after tomorrow ;-)) - I may not be able to go online tomorrow or the day after that, but I wish you both very happy birthdays, too!

Happy (belated) birthday, dunkle_feuer!

This would have been a good opportunity to send you all the stuff I've collected for you...

Then again, I'd much prefer to give it to you in person. Say, ever thought about visiting Ffm? I have a beautiful new inflatable mattress.

but a few short notes before I leave to visit ankae...

1.) On Thursday I went to see 'Spirited Away' and it's a beautiful, beautiful movie. It had the same atmosphere and logic of many of my weirder dreams... Gotta go see it again next week, if I can find the time. Highly recommended.

2.) The evening of the same day I had to do a cast of my good buddy Nager's face because he wants to have a Stark mask made for the comic fair we are going to have a Farscape table at. Let's just say that at 40 degrees Celsius it was not a pleasant experience for him having to wear a rubber bathing cap for hours, and half of his head covered in plaster! It made me worry a bit about being Zhaan with that bald cap at the fair... I'll have to wear that thing for about 13 hours and I doubt it is any more comfortable than a bathing cap! The things we do for Farscape.

3.) Birthday (mine, that is) on Friday - nice and quiet. Breakfast with my mom, then work, then dinner with my mom (Indian food - yum!). (My dad was on a business trip.) Got nice books and nice music for presents. Unexpected present from a certain reader of this journal, too. (Thanks! You know who you are! *g*) Am 27 now, an age that almost fits with the grey hair I keep finding on my head more and more often...

4.) Happy Birthday also to my dear friends Kiki and ankae!

5.) And to my Scape Sister Dashan who actually had her birthday a few days ago but had her party yesterday. Very nice party; met Atti there, important figure from German HL fandom and webmistress of Fanficparadies.de. Weird, meeting someone whose name you've known for years on the net 'in the flesh' for the first time... Atti was in the same situation, btw, knowing me from my old essay on becoming obsessed with Methos which seems to be rather well-known in German HL fandom. Hey, at least *one* of my pieces of writing is well-known. *g* AnduraNova and me talked with Atti and her boyfriend all night, I'm afraid - we hardly even noticed the other guests. *g* Atti may even come to the next local Farscape meeting.

5.) Going to visit ankae for a few days, but first I have to have breakfast and then do the dishes. The stacks in the kitchen look like every single plate, knife, pot, fork and glass in the house is dirty. Frell.

6.) Oh, and since kernezelda and kazbaby already posted links to our new vid 'Poison' in their LJs, I guess I should make it public here, too. Actually, we meant to wait a little while yet before really publishing the vid, since we wanted to overhaul the 'Peacekeeper' vid first, but, well, it's out there now, so I may as well point everyone who hasn't found it yet there. I'm pretty proud of this vid. AnduraNova still thinks 'Everybody Hurts' is better than 'Poison', but I think they are about on par. It was great fun to make, too, even if it made AnduraNova's husband realise that we're perverts. *g*

7.) Apart from the dishes I'm feeling fine.
