* Uncle Jason in Taiwan tries to time my birthday email at exactly 12:00 Midnight California time. So he can be the first to say Happy Birthday to me.
* Pomegranate Pinkberry is in season.
* Hannah attempts to sing "Happy Birthday" using only 4 words and tells me she is saving a Dora the Explorer tattoo for me.
* Kung Fu Panda is still entertaining after 5 times.
* The facebook alerts on the phone kept ping ping pinging all day from all the birthday chatter.
* Preston is fluffy.
* The house still has lingering delicious pork smells from last night.
Through the magic of transistors and Japanese fuzzy logic, my birthday oatmeal was ready when I woke up this morning. Birthday oatmeal had mix-ins such as goji berries, candied ginger, and lotus seeds. (These would make great Coldstone mix-ins too.)
Birthday Trivia:
* I share my birthday with the Suez Canal, Washington Dulles Airport, Isamu Noguchi, Soichiro Honda, Rock Hudson, Lorne Michaels, Rem Koolhaus, Howard Dean, RuPaul, Daisy Fuentes, and one of the Hansons. The boring one- not the little one, and not the pretty one that looks like a girl.
* Richard Nixon said "I'm not a crook" when I was born.
Pyrex OCD manifests itself inside the refrigerator.
The saddest things today:
* The ash and soot from the fires made it impossible to see the Leonids meteor shower this year. (But it's still totally cool that I get a meteor shower for my birthday every year.)
* I am no longer valuable to advertisers.
* Pottery class is closed today.
* My health insurance premiums are now in the next more expensive bracket.
Coconut Failure Cake. I managed to make a coconut cake with the texture of a dense brownie. I am such a failure at baking. And the burnt shredded coconut makes it more Snuffleupagus than pastry. Such a failure.
The strangest things today:
* Freaky hot weather.
* Birthday phone call from my car insurance agent.
* My Mom getting me a Nintendo Wii Fit. Is she telling me that I'm fat and flabby?
