Hey, I'm one year older now! Anyhoo, Dad woke me up when he called to wish me happy b-day. Got a call from moms later. Finished the cleaning binge I had started last night, vacuuming up the apartment. Sis came over during that, saying I shouldn't be cleaning on my b-day. But youse know how obsessive compulsive I can get about getting things neat. And apparently she's got a new car, an RSX. Pretty sweet ride. And hey, she's wising up and getting a spoiler, because you can't have a sports car without a spoiler!
Went to dinner with the usual suspects, to the Istanbul Cafe. It was cool, the food was interesting and they had a cute belly dancer girl. Headed back home for some cake and drinks and some more peeps showed up. Reminisced about the good old days and the wacky misadventures we had back in college. Most of the stories were from freshman year way back in '94. That did have to one of the best years I had in college. But it was fun seeing everyone who showed up, it was a good time.
After most everybody left, the guys started up a small hold 'em tournament. I actually joined in for that. Did well initially, busting out Bill and Charlie at one point. But alas, my luck ran out and Joseph ended up busting me out. Learned some valuable lessons though. I don't see myself playing again any time soon, but its good stuff to know for future reference.
Owel, just watching the extra features of X-2 then "Drive" with Brittany Murphy, Kadeem Hardison, and Mark Dacascos (Mani from Brotherhood of the Wolf) right now. I remember seeing that movie years ago and thinking it was awesome. Seeing it now, it is amusing, and had some decent martial arts action, but its not that great. Though its yet another movie where Brittany Murphy plays a crazy-ditzy girl well. Anyways, prolly gonna drift off to bed soon. Definitely a good b-day today.
