The birthday party is over -- I had fun! I got some nice presents from friends and people seemed to like the music. My wife got me a Homestar Runner T-shirt, for example. And some friends gave me a brainteaser gift that wouldn't make sense to anybody not living in this area, so there's no real point in repeating it. I have gift certificates to the local gaming store and the local comic store. Woohoo! Oh, and I blew out all 35 candles in one breath. Woohoo too!
