Awesome birthday stuff

Today was my 41st birthday.  Happy birthday, me!

Huz gave me Christopher Tin's recent album, The Drop That Contained The Sea.  I'd gotten my hands on Calling All Dawns as part of a Humble Bundle, and we'd both really enjoyed it - world music but very catchy, great orchestration, a different language and origin for each of the tracks.. really neat stuff.  Drop is in a way more of the same, but it's more of the same great stuff, so we're very happy.




We relaxed after dinner by watching Zombie Orpheus Entertainment's latest release, Humans and Households.  Since they're not tied to a pre-existing script written by a crazy Christian guy (see Dark Dungeons... but stop watching after the steam tunnels scene, cuz then it gets really boring and unfortunate), it's ZOE's usual mix of RPG riffs and humor.  Funny, funny stuff.  (And short - the three episodes together are only about half an hour.)  Check out ep 1 below!

Oof -- meant to send b-day wishes in a timely fashion; well, I'm still within what they call "the landing zone" in business parlance, right? Anyways, sounds like you had a great time with some very fun media entertainment ^_^ I'm not sure when my next stint in the Bay Area (with free time for socializing) will be, but until then best wishes from Beaverton!

Thank you!

I was thinking of giving you and S a call this afternoon (I've got a 20-25minute drive to the chiropractor with time to kill). Anything going on around 4:20-4:30 that would make this a Bad Idea?

Happy Birthday!

And many happy returns of the day, too.
