they say it's your birthday!

oh man oh man, what a day yesterday. Worked 9-5. Got there and I was talking on the desk with my boss and she's like "so when is your birthday?" and I said "uuuh, today." And everyone was like WHAT! WHY ARE YOU WORKING! haha. So I guess next year I'll take the gorram day off! Seriously, this birthday just snuck up on me. I was so spoiled for our anniversary and valentines day that I felt like my birthday needed to be further down the road!!! But anyway, it wasn't, it was yesterday. And jimithingy spoiled me as usual.

Yes, now I am officially a hard core collector. I have my very own Master Replica Force F/X Lightsaber!!! Anakin's to be exact. Well, Anakin/Luke, a lovely trilogies cross over. Oh my god, it is AWESOME!!!!! I can't really swing it around too much in the apartment, as I'll take down my other toys, but when I got outside (because it went with me to Perri & Alan's, that's how much I love it) and had a chance to swing it around....ooooooh felt soooo good. It's freakin' cool. especially in the dark, you can really see the blade as it lights up and..mmmmm

But, of course, that's not all I got. Oh no. I now have HARRY POTTER SCENE IT! I feel a party coming on!!! Perri also said she was going to hook me up with 'Goblet of Fire' as soon as that comes out (tuesday)!

Also got a 'box of Bean: the Complete Mr Bean series" Ooooooh yes, something to watch when TV fails us (which it does most every night now). Classic Bean. I adore this show. It will also probably lead to Bean icons....maybe.

I now have another Karaoke Revolution game, this one has some Britney Spears which should be fun to sing and make fun of haha. AND Fatal Frame II! Which I can only play on VERY sunny days. I'm scared of that game right now and I'm not even playing it. But its soooo cool.

And, what birthday would be complete without some action figures. I got the Hoth trooper, Leia in Bousch disguise and Carbonite Han from the most recent wave of 3 1/2" figures. AND the new galacitc heroes speeder bike with scout trooper. He's all dirty! You can never have too many troopers.

Aaaaand Bonus gift, jimithingy just reached over my shoulder and handed me a $15 iTunes card!!! oooooh what to buy what to buy!

Oh I am just so spoiled!! I'm going to go clean off the top of the TV now, as it's the most logical place to display my lightsaber. Plus, it will give me easy access in case any Sith show up with BBQ sauce.

well, that could have gone better

went to see Cary Brothers and KT Tunstall. Cary was alright, I had only heard 'blue eyes' off the 'Garden State' soundtrack, which he sang. But his other stuff was just alright. jimithingy said his microphone was crap, which was screwin him a bit, couldn't handle his voice.

I have to say, I'm not very fond of Ramshead as venues go. I've been to so many superior venues that Ramshead just upsets me. Mostly because they have those damn waiters running around during so much of it. And the room is just built weird. Plus, you end up sitting with people you do not know because of the table set up, which weirds me out. We have two nice couples with us, though the one guy kept wanting to show off is iPod Video, to the point of showing us the Today show clip of the girl that was about to play. We mocked him on the way home.

Anyway, so this KT Tunstall chick. dstntp1lgr1m has sent me her MySpace page which had a clip of her on some british tv show doing a song. It was here all alone on stage, armed with a guitar, a tambourine, and some looping petals. It was pretty darn cool, so I was excited to see her perform. But when we got to Ramshead, we noticed a whole lottal equipment on stage. In fact, far too much equipment - drums, guitars, keyboards....turns out, she has a band as of right now. So, the cool, independant girl that i came to see, became a lead singer backed by far too many people on stage. She has a really great voice, very Melissa Ethridge meets Norah Jones - husky. And her tunes were fun, but the band was just annoying when you come to see someone perform solo. Soooo I'm downloading her album now to hear what it sounds like. I mean, she just beat out U2 and Coldplay in the british version of the grammys so she's gotta be good! Right?

okay, back to screaming at the oscars with spitefairy
