Assorted birthdays
Happy belated birthday to various folks whose birthdays I've neglected to mention in the past couple weeks: CJ (whose LJ icon is a small version of the extremely pink photo I mentioned a while back) (and who mentions that Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 are looking for pirate extras ("extreme characters and hideously unattractive types" among others), with an open casting call on July 30); Lola (okay, so I mentioned hers already); Otavia; Brynnen (who turned four!); Lisa K (whom I haven't seen in years); Dan P; Cat Stevens; Raymond (who turned two!); Susan G; and (today) Gavin G. Yay!
Upcoming birthdays also worth celebrating: Mary Anne (tomorrow), Michael B, Jeremy F, Jed B. Also, in the Famous People category, all on July 30: Emily Brontë, Henry Ford,Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kate Bush, Laurence Fishburne, and Hilary Swank.
And there are probably many others, of course. Happy birthday to all!
