Happy Birthday Ghislaine

Happy Birthday Ghislaine!

Hey, Ghis ! How nice that it fell on the weekend as well. Have a great day and don't eat too much

Thanks, folks, for your birthday wishes. The real day is actually Monday the 20th and the time is in the evening.

But I started celebrating already: First by getting my hair cut today. Tomorrow it's going to see Star Trek: Into Darkness; can't wait to see the other Ben (i.e. Benedict Cumberbatch) as the villain , even though I don't really care for JJ Abrams' reboot! That also means I won't be able to participate in the session Chat. Monday, I'll probably make myself some buffalo stew and maybe even some biscuits, for dinner. And then catch up on reading some good ASJ fanfic, of course!

Happy birthday, Ghislaine :champagne1:

Just received a bing bong to tell me that two ex-outlaws have chartered a very special plane - NOT held together only with gaffer tape and hope - to bring them to help you celebrate in an otterly asj way!!

You will recognise them by the travelling lemons taped to their cowboy hats.

Three other fellas - including whatshisname - and a piano will be joining them to provide musical accompaniment to 'Happy Birthday...'

Or maybe 'Those magnificent men in their steam trains and stagecoaches...'

Depends on your fandom mood!!





(You will also be getting - if Kid doesn't eat it first - a very special cake NOT welcome to Finland!)

Many happy returns, Ghislaine

Thank you, everyone! Yesterday was actually quite busy with work stuff and then family stuff in the evening once I got home. The real celebration, in my mind anyway, was on Sunday, when I went to see Star Trek: Into Darkness. It was enjoyable; Benedict Cumberbatch was great as was Simon Pegg. A good action movie with lots of things getting blown up. As a Star Trek movie, much better than the first JJ Abrams one but not "real" Trek, in my opinion.

And, hey, a special thanks to Calico for her wonderful mash up of fandoms! Were the yellow banners being dragged by airplanes the closest you could get to yellow cabs?!

Last night, I did watch the pilot episode of a TV series I saw advertised before the movie: a show on A&E called Longmire. Ever hear of it? It's about a contemporary sheriff, who has issues, who is based in Wyoming. Except that it's filmed in New Mexico. Sound like another show we know and love--which passed off Moab, Utah, as Wyoming?!? The show is based on novels by Craig Johnson and it's available for instant streaming on Netflix, if anyone wants to check it out. It looks pretty good.

We actually discussed Longmire in chat on Sunday. The second season starts soon. I also really like the books -- same characters and some of the same plotting the character'spersonalities and situations are different. The next installment in the book series is due to be released in June.

Happy Birthday Ghislaine!

Happy belated birthday, Ghislaine!

Sorry to be late, but you know why - I'm just back from my combination of three trips. Hope the day was happy and that future days continue to be.

Happy Belated Birthday, Ghis!!!
