03 December 2005

35 Years Ago today in Bridgeport, CT, a child wailed his way into the world.→[More:] Unfortunately, 35 years is not long enough for his relatives to realize that said child is not a morning person, especially when humg over. Both mom and nonna called around 9:30. Both wished Happy birthday. Mom told me that she had taken her parochial school 7th graders into the city to see Peter Pan at Madison Square Garden. Apparently Cathy Rigby is playing Peter. Call me crazy, but at this point isn't she more suited for say, Coccoon? Nonna is getting on in years and occasionally confused me with my cousin Matt and called me "matteo." Oh, congratulate me on another year of not dying. Woo-hoo!

And as a birthday bonus, my crazy, octogenarian Greek landlady seems to have the heat on for a change. Yay!

Happy birthday, jon-jon! - Pass me some a that egg salad, would you?

And for fitting morning music, from the legendary "Battle Of The Bands" album, here's the Turtles with one of the great dumb chant-alongs of all time.

Yom huledet sameach! I just saw a cheesy 80's movie that couldn't get the rights to "Happy Birthday".

Happy Birthday Jonmc (I owe you 35 + 1 for good luck birthday slugs in the arm)! And Frisbee Girl, wtf are you doing awake at 7:00 am on a Saturday???

Were you born at 9:30? I once threatened my dad that I would play the Beatles at 4:04 am one year.

Oh, I'm feeling the love, brothers and sisters.

so here's more music. First two sixties pop confections from Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart, the first a plea to lower the voting age to 18 (they succeeded and this song is of course the reason why) and classic sing-a-long:

L.U.V.
I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight

and (one of my all time favorites) from the late great rebel rockers The Bobby Fuller Four:

Let Her Dance.

You got me feeling generous children.

no, brujita, I was born around 5pm. Happy hour, you know.

[edible, one of my roommates is moving out this morning. When I got home from work at 2am, he and his friends were in full "rager mode" celebrating his impending exodus. This went on until about 4am. Around 6:30, his (ex?)wife and kid showed up and got his ass out of bed by toggling the door bell for a good 15-20 minutes. They're now randomly arguing as the argrily trugde up and down the stairs while his daughter runs around screaming that no one is home.

To say that I am less than pleased at the moment is an understatement of criminal proportions.]

Happy Birthday, ya puke! Where do you want all these dancing ladies and peacocks?

Frisbee Girl, I feel for you. Its been a few years now since I've had room mates like that but I can remember it like it was yesterday. I so loved being awoken by one roommate having, yet another, shouting match with his girlfriend.

Happy Birthday! : >

(my apt's freezing too--i think every single landlord has lowered the amount of heat they're giving this year bec of the oil costs)
posted by amberglow 03 December | 11:12
I just went and loaded up cigarettes and beer. In deference to decorum, I won't start drinking till noon.

put the dancing girls on my lap (unless of course they're the Rockettes, then they might kick me in the chin.) As for the peacocks, put 'em the porch. Those plumage-flashing pretty boy fucks shit all over the place.

You have a porch? I want a porch! Alls I have is two lousy steps to sit on!
posted by Edible Energy 03 December | 11:32
That's called a stoop, EE.
posted by sciurus 03 December | 11:33
I have a roofed back porch with a veiw of the empire state building. Some of these old rowhouses are great, esp on the third floor. Sadly, we have no stoop, since the bottom floor is occupied by a dentist, with a sign featuring an anthropomorphic tooth with the word "dentist" in 20 languages around it.

Even better porch picture. and my living room and my hallway...we didn't make it to the bathroom, thannk your lucky stars.

Congratulaziones, you magnificent bastard.

A boisterous bunch, at the very least, moonbird...but, really, what else would you expect from us?
posted by Frisbee Girl 03 December | 14:08
hoppy birthday, old buddy...hope you feel better than I do. I spent my birthday coming down with some chest congestion of some sort. Pizza at home stead of steak out, and I felt bad enough to prefer it.

But my new Seal is playing and life is still good.

Do have fun, and drink lots of water. You'll thank me in the morning.
