Al's Birthday

I made it. Not entirely sure how or why, but I made it nonetheless. For those of you unaware of today’s National holiday, it’s called la Journée d’appréciation des danseuses, though you may know it by its more common name, Al’s birthday. Yes, it’s true; I’m inching further and further through my 4th decade on the planet, having reached the ripe ol’ age of 32. Rather than take my customary day off, I’ve opted to come into work today. I figured that I shouldn’t deprive the masses of their opportunity to greet me and wish me well.

Truth be told, this will be a rather uneventful birthday. Last year, I was drinking shots of flaming sambuca at a downtown watering hole before returning to my apartment where the roomies had baked me a cake. This year, I’m sans colocs, though I will be receiving a visit from the parents this weekend. I’ll also be grabbing a few bevies with Phil and CT at some point, as well. But for the big day itself, I’m flying solo.

Alright, I’m off for now. Just remember, tip using bills! The girls don’t take loonies or twonies! It’s a health risk when wearing platform shoes. Til next time…

Jourée d`appréciation des danseuses? how come I missed this National day :)

You are still far from your 4th decade. But years go by so fast. I remember the day I reached my 32nd year like it was just yesterday.

Enjoy your special day and happy birthday :) (Wow, I am the first one to wish you that on here (I'd better hurry and hit the login and publish button though).

Once again, Happy Alliversary.
Any evening in Montreal is a celebration compared to a night in ole London towne.
I hope you've managed some form of celebration.

King of Kerwood? I thought you were the King of Kerwin, the godfather of all that is Lance Kerwin. Anyways, check out the Wired story on film director Uwe Boll. As a student of film, I think you'll appreciate it.

Al,
Any wiser today?

My wisdom increases by leaps and bounds each day. In fact, this blog was almost named My Vast Wisdom but at the last moment I decided against it.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, gentlemen. It's much appreciated. Any major celebrations will actually take place this weekend at Café Soho in the early evening.

Not naming your blog "My Vast Wisdom" was wise.

Music to my ears would be the sound of "anonymous" getting hit by a bus.

Bon anniversaire Allan.
Je t'imagine porter des chaussures à talons compensés (plateform shoes) et ça me fait sourir :-)

Vanessa,

Mes jambes sont super belles quand je porte les platforms. :-P
