Happy Birthday to Me!

Posted on October 29, 2004 by Ampersand

Well, I can’t take today off from work – but I can at least take it off from blogging!

On the (very) off chance that anyone is thinking “geez, I wish I could buy Amp something,” here’s my wish list. (Is it tacky of me to put in such a link? Probably. But heck, it’s my birthday, I’ll be tacky if I want to).

I actually enjoy looking at other people’s wish lists – sometimes they have unexpected tastes. If you’ve got one, feel free to post a link to it in the comments.

Looking at my list, I wonder what’s unexpected to “Alas” readers? Not the comic books, nor the feminist books. But some of the DVDs may be unexpected (have I ever mentioned that I like some anime, or the Marx Brothers?) Hard to say. For folks who don’t know me in real life, the Stephen Sondheim fixation might be surprising, too.

Have a happy Halloween, and see y’all next week.

    You got him shiny new storm windows for yourself? What a brilliant idea! I’ll have to remember to do something like that next year.

    I suppose this is as good a place as any to throw in my first comment.

    Happy birthday! Hurrah for fellow Sondheim aficionados.

    Now that all the cake has been eaten, I suppose it’s safe to assume I’ve lost the element of punctuality. Ah well. Hope you had a good birthday.
