So yesterday was my mother's birthday. (And my aunt's birthday. And Vladimir's mother's birthday. And the Lovely Emily's mother's birthday. And [livejournal.com profile] aralinde's mother's birthday. UNHOLY NEXUS OF HAPPY MOMMY BIRTHDAYS.) We went out for dinner and came home for roulage and George went ahead and gave her his presents, one of which was a giant rotisserie oven. My mother was thrilled, which was one of those "Yeah, maybe I won't turning into my mother" moments. Because... yeah. But she and Sister Girl are all about the culinary arts and such, so yay for them.

Today is the traditional Family Birthday Lunch--it's my mother's sister's birthday also, as previously mentioned (this is Aunt Awesome). The weird thing is that they were born on the same day--but five years apart. So today all the rest of the presents will be exchanged, and there will be barbecue (...again. That's a sigh you hear me suppressing, because I'm not so much about the barbecue), and then it's back to the comedy mines for me. I have hopes of finishing Lord of the Rings this weekend, however, since there's already soooo much done on it, and I would be able to check so much off.

Midterm is on Monday. We already have the question, so we can research it and outline what we want to say--we only have about forty-five minutes to write, and the professor was like, "Look, seriously, I'm giving you this ahead of time so I'll get better answers." Respect.


This and that:

DAMMIT! I went to look at the POTO DVD pre-order on Amazon again, and they've revised the number of discs down from 3 to 2. AHHHHHHH! YOU TEASE ME SO!

High quality Hitchhiker trailer--51 mbs, feel the downloading burn.

For those of you who skipped the Lost recap--either because you don't care about Lost or you're avoiding spoilers--I have to repost the funniest thing ever: [livejournal.com profile] cathybites was able to confirm for us with screen caps that Josh Holloway (Sawyer!) is the punk who steals Alicia Silverstone's backpack in that Aerosmith video, "Cryin'." And then gets pwned by Alicia in, like, the crotch. Oh dear.

Haha, when I saw your icon, I started singing Monty Python but with those lyrics. Was that what you were going for, or is it the cynicism? Hahaha...

Exiledprincess: If you wait five minutes, somebody will bring you a letter that's been sitting around for 75 years in the Western Union office that will tell you where to find the Delorean. Oh, and button up. It's about to rain where you are.

All of which reminds me...what are those times in the comments? They don't seem to have any rhyme or reason to them.

OMG ICON. I've been looking for a Steelers icon... where did you get it?

I was looking for a Steelers icon for ages, because I needed one to go with my layout (which I should change, now that football season is over, but I don't have the heart to do so. *wails*). But I couldn't find one...so I made this one myself. You can use it, if you want. I can share. :)

*looks at your journal* I am totally friending you.

Dude your layout is awesome too!! Why change it now? Training camp is in only 4 or 5 months :-D

Damn, and I thought it was weird that my birthday, my mother's, my aunt's, my grandmother's, and my parent's wedding anniversary are all in the same week. You win!

Thank you for the HHGTTG trailer. The one on Amazon has disappeared into the ether and all the others floating about were of poor quality. Yay icons.

My mommysa bday was just last week! (Damn you Mom Lady for being one week off! Now we're going to be left out when they take over the world!)


Have I mentioned my insane loin twitching joy at the Hitchhikers Trailer? EEEEEEEEK. Although it does appear that Zaphod is missing his third arm in that last shot there... *runs off to Fametracker*

Whee :) Happy Birthday to everybody! Hehe

Yeah, I have a nephew who was born on the same day, but 1 year after me, and the other one was born the day after my Mom's bd, lol. Funny how that goes.

Speaking of Lost, mommy was just watching The Age of Innocence on Nova TV, and they had a commercial break, and an ad for a series called IZGUBLJENI came on. With, you know, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, and The Man on Crack. Coming to the unsuspecting Croatian screens this Tuesday evening.

"Mom? You know how I never watch TV series? Well, this one, WE BOTH SHALL."

Lots of birthdays, wow! For some reason I feel as though I, too, know someone who had a birthday yesterday... but I guess not. I definitely know someone who has a birthday today, so maybe that's it.

Who's older, your mom or your aunt?

I love barbeque. What is wrong with you?! =P

Good luck with LOTR and the midterm. I appreciate it when the professor will give you the test question(s) ahead of time. Makes things so much easier. ; )

I saw those screencaps; that just might be the most amusing thing ever. No, seriously. *draws hearts around Josh* *skips away*

If they've revised it down, they can revise it up. I refuse to give up hope till it's being sold.
