Birthdays

Today (March 28) is the birthday of my friend Jessica E. (Arthur E.'s sister-in-law); Beth O. and I went to Jessica's party down in Santa Cruz tonight. Before the party, we went to dinner at a nice Latin American/Caribbean fusion restaurant on Pacific called Costa Brava; good food, good service. Somehow even though almost every restaurant I've ever eaten in in Santa Cruz has been good, I can never think of any (other than Saturn Cafe and Palomar, both of which I like but both of which were ruled out tonight for various reasons) when it comes time to eat dinner there. I'll try and remember this one.

Today is also the birthday of David Horwich, though he was not born in the same year or the same geographical location as Jessica and I were.

Oh, and it's my birthday too.

I'll probably spend the day reading subs, revising a story, and gathering information to do taxes. But I'll try to do as much of that as possible outside in the sun.

Maybe I'll also go to the comic store. Jessica was enthusing about two comics I haven't read: Lucifer (from Vertigo, an ongoing series based on the Neil Gaiman version of the character, with several trade paperback collections available) and Evenfall (from Slave Labor). And I think I'm probably two or three issues behind on just about everything I buy regularly.

Oh, yeah, and I suppose I'd better do some laundry or I won't have anything to wear on Monday. So it'll be a busy day. I better go get some sleep.

    Happy B’Day, Jed!!!

    It was Theo’s birthday on the 28th, too–he’s four. We had confetti cake and chocolate mint ice cream and he got legos and Toot and Puddle dolls. I hope yours was as fun!

    Happy birthday!

    Was there cake in your honor? Or are you more of a pie person? A lack of some kind of baked birthday sweet is unacceptable.
