It was quite a pleasant day in my neighbourhood. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, much birthday cake and cookies were consumed, children sang “Happy Birthday” both out of key (grade 11s) and — rather impressively — at the top of their lungs (grade 12s), and I received a number of interesting goodies:
(1) Futurama, Volume 1 — one of the THE BEST satirical shows ever!
(2) The West Wing, The Complete Sixth Season — allowing me to put aside my sorrow at the denoument of this beautiful series by wallowing in another past season…
(3) Superman Returns Disc Attack — you have to see it to believe it! I feel 6 years old again simply looking at it!
…and I shall be off shortly to a friend’s house, to pick up a disc with the latest Doctor Who episode, The Age of Steel. It’s been a wonderful, sugar-rush of a day, and I suddenly don’t feel THAT old…
…then again, reality could always hit me tomorrow.
