michaeldthomasToday is the first birthday I've had since I was 19 that I'm not disappointed in myself. It had been my yearly tradition to reflect back on my wasted year and my nonexistent writing career. Not this year. I wrote a novel. It may suck and probably will never be published, but I did it.
Lynne is off for the next couple of days doing a digital preservation workshop (I blame all of you fancy-pants authors who are too good for typewriters *g*). So we ended up having a low-key celebration yesterday with our friends Sarah and David. Lynne and I finally manged to get out to see Quantum of Solace. The reviews were fairly accurate. It was a very good Bond film buggered up by bad editing during the action scenes.
The cold hurt us, so we decided to stay in for the rest of the evening. We consumed some stuffed pizzas, and I got the gift of new music (Jenny Lewis- Acid Tongue, Belle and Sebastian- The BBC Sessions, and Sufjan Stevens- Songs for Christmas). The coolest gift, though, was a cross stitch from Sarah. Somehow she managed to do one of Roj Blake's head from the opening credits of Blake's 7. It is one of the coolest things that I've ever scene.
Right before we consumed my birthday pie, Caitlin had her big monthly seizure. It sucked, but at least it waited until she was home with us.
