Happy Birthday To Me

The big 2-0! One more year until I'm legal for everything.
-D: *ruffles hair* Happy birthday!-
Thanks! bttfbabe, thanks for the e-card. It was funny. :) And thanks for the shout-out in your LJ too, gigs_83 -- glad you liked the ficlet.
Cool things that have happened so far:
-->Mom left the frosting beaters for me to lick after breakfast
-->Greenbay posted his funny contribution to the Heterodyne Boys origin story on the Girl Genius fanfic board (continuing for Honor, who is currently somewhat broken)
-->Girl Genius today is Klaus vs. Dingbots of Doom. Talk about cool. :D
-->Narbonic -- Dave gave Helen an island. I hold high hopes for an end-of-strip kiss. *fingers crossed*
Now, I'm off to watch my new BTTF: TAS tape and grab some lunch.

Totaling Up The Haul

-->New Jeans and Sweatshirt
-->New Dilbert book -- "What Would Wally Do?"
-->New set of gel pens
-->New blank journal
-->New Girl Genius one-sheet calendar -- Techno-Witch
-->Border's Gift Card for $20
-->Narbonic Volume 1
-->Narbonic Gerbil!
-TD: *picks him up* Heh -- cute little fella.-
He is, isn't he? His name is Johannes, after Johannes Kepler, German mathematician who created the three fundemental laws of planetary motion. We share a birthday. ^^
-HD: Like some tea, Johannes?-
-TD: His whiskers kind of go everywhere, don't they?-
They do. He's a handmade one-of-a-kind, straight from Narbonics labs. With a prehensile tail!
-OD: *tentacles bend it a bit* What, Jules? No, I think Shaenon herself has said it's a fairly poor representation of a gerbil. . . .-
Let's not be hasty -- I have Google right here, let's look 'em up. *googles pictures* Hmmm. Besides the seal points, it's not that bad.
-HD: They're Gerbillus Narbonic breed, that's why they look different.-
LOL. I'll get you guys pictures in a bit. Eee, he's so cute. . . .
-DW: Now all you need is a white plush kitty in a red coat for Krosp.-
I know. I'll have to be on the lookout. . . .
-OD: So that's it for another birthday, hmm?-
Not quite -- my Auntie Ann has another present for me. It seems that, the first time she bought it, she heard something rattling inside, so she brought it back and got another one. Not sure what it is. . . . We'll see Friday.

( Pushing Back One Day )

-VD: At least one muse got what he wanted today.-
-RPD: *switches from corporal to incoporal and back, grinning* In spades.-
I DID write something on both "Gift and Curse" and "Time Mix-Up" -- it was just kind of busy at the store, so I couldn't keep up my usual level.
-VD2: Suppose that's fair enough. Plan to type anything now?-
More "Marty In Wonderland," what else? Though I may start on either a new drabbles88 or the "Boy Genius" aside.
-TD: Bring them both up and we'll see which one wins.-
-HD: That is, if she can ever tear herself away from her new Narbonic book.-
Oh, wait until I can order the other two. Remember, Phil Foglio did a bonus story for one. . . .
