bluejeans07Lots of people's birthdays this month: Kiyoshi, Mira, Freya, Timmy, Dad, Rachel, and so many more. Whoo, so crazy. So many gifts, so little time, and soooo little money. Here's something interesting about the song 'Happy Birthday to You' that my most favorite game show discussed:
Speaking of music, apparently my dad's one of those infuriating people who can hear music and then play the music he heard perfectly on an instrument. And what's also even more infuriating is that the gift completely skipped me and went to my younger brother, Charlie. Oh well, at least I'm the only one of my siblings who doesn't need to get braces.
Also, I read in today's paper that Wicked is coming back to Los Angeles in February! Tickets sales open on, very appropriately, October 31st.
Going back to birthdays, I managed to surprise myself that I actually made better gifts for my family and friends instead of buying them. For my dad, I made a collection of CDs out of Michael Buble's songs and I made the case one of those fold out cases using pics I found online of vintage cars and printed it out on matte paper. I'll take a few pictures of it next time I get back home, I'm rather ridiculously proud of it even though it wasn't hard at all and I should've printed the front first and then the back.
For Timmy (my now 14 year old younger brother), I managed to get him Butch Hartman's autograph. I had a meeting with Butch last Thursday and the two of us chatted for half an hour, me asking loads and loads of questions and Butch answering them. We really clicked, he's very easy to get along with and he's absolutely hilarious, always making jokes or doing silly voices. AND he looks like Clark Kent (or how I think Clark Kent would look like if he was real). Anyway, Butch was kind enough to autograph a print out I did of a scene from Fairly Odd Parents and he personalized it for my brother, finding it amusing that my bro shared the same name as one of his main characters. Timmy was absolutely overjoyed at the autograph: when he got it, he stared at it in shock, then jumped up with a whoop, gave me a hug, and declared that he's going to take his middle school diploma out of the picture frame and replace it with the autograph. XD
I'm back in my flat now, need to tidy up a bit, make something for dinner and do a little art before I go to bed. And maybe work on my Halloween costume a bit. Woo!
