Did you know that tomorrow’s my 32nd birthday?
I’m not asking because I’m trolling for gifts or silly songs or anything. I’m asking because — and this is the 100% honest truth — I didn’t realize it was tomorrow.
I’ve got a lot happening right now: the EB9 show in Vegas on Friday ( as well as the entire convention weekend) plus writing for the ACME show, plus dealing with a very big and scary family medical issue have all conspired to totally eat my brain, and make my birthday seem totally minor and irrelevant . . . it’s so weird that something I’ve always looked forward to has been so completely pushed off my radar.
Well, I guess it’s part of growing older, or something.
This morning, I had to renew my driver’s license, (something I didn’t realize until yesterday) so I went to the DMV . . . without an appointment *dramatic music*
It actually wasn’t bad at all. I was in and out in 1 hour and ten minutes, and every single person I dealt with was helpful, patient, and friendly. After I had my picture taken, the guy who took it told me happy birthday, and then a pretty girl who was in line behind me said, “Hey! My birthday is July 29th too!” So we both said “Happy birthday!” in unison. That was way cool.
I’m going to moblog and audioblog from Vega$, so check them out if you need your WWdN fix while I’m gone.
If you’re coming to Vega$ for the show, I’ll be performing from Geek and Barefoot at 1PM on Friday, and the EB9 show is at 6:40 (?) the same night. I’ll also be signing books and pictures all day Saturday.
. . . and I wasn’t going to say much about this . . . but, uhm . . . I would really appreciate it if you guys could keep me and Anne and our family in your thoughts for the next few days.
Thanks.
