It’s my first day being 24 years old. So far, I slept in, got to work late, and discovered that there were free cookies in the office kitchen and nothing in my inbox. Basically, so far so good. I received birthday wishes from around the world and various time zones: from Mexico, 2 from Japan (both Eve), Niagara Falls, the Rocky Mountains, the 'gina, Australia, and a bunch from Montreal, Thorold, Ottawa, and Toronto. And 2 birthday greetings from cats. Although I’m known to party it up for other people’s special occasions, the fact that most of these greetings did not come from Toronto shows that I have no one left here to party with…although Dirk did express interest in boozing for my birthday, but I had to decline since I was taken out to a restaurant near the homestead called Boho by my aunt. And it was a Wedensday, and when there’s only two of you drinking on a Wednesday it’s barely a party (prove me wrong!)...and I wanted to get home in time to watch the last 15 minutes of "Lost," even though I had no idea what was going on, having missed the previous 45 minutes.

And because, like most crazy people, I’m partially obsessed with the upcoming movie, Snakes on a Plane. Not because it looks good, but because it is what it is: snake, on a plane. Snakes on a plane with Samuel L. Jackson. And Samuel L. Jackson looks angry. And I found these links this morning which made me laugh:

The IMDb Daily Poll: We assume you're already excited about the upcoming Snakes on a Plane, so we'll ask: what should the name of the sequel be?

If you’re reading this after March 30th, you’ll have to imagine but some options include:
Snakes on a Train
Snakes on a Crane
Snakes on John Wayne
More Snakes on a Plane
Snakes on Two Planes
The Snakes, the Plane, and the Wardrobe
Planes on a Snake

I voted for Snakes on John Wayne. If there’s anything John Wayne’s corpse loves, it’s snakes.

P.S> I got not one, not two, but THREE birthday emails that specified "birthday" be read in obnoxious drunken be BOP man voice. Nat, Mairin, and Shane, ye know me well.
