The Happy Birthday! & misc. celebrations

Evans, where ever you are right now mate, have a good bday dude

Thanks, Harry.

It'll be boring as ever, I suspect.

Still, just two years before I can be an official Grey... then Jim Garten will up the entry age to 35 to spite me.

Happy birthday, James.

Aww, you're not 27 anymore. Was it a good year anyway?

Anyway, I know you hate birthdays because of telling you how old you've gotten, but c'est la vie...*insert Hammill/Wyatt lyric*!

Happy Birthday James! 

James's RIO Birthday Party:

Revellers arrive at the Castle De'Ath (James's house, don't you know) in an assortment of horse-drawn conveyances, maybe a hearse or two.

Daniel O'Sullivan is the master of ceremonies.  He doesn't say much, but wears an interesting hat and communicates by playing sinister chords on an array of unusual instruments.

Absinthe is served, but there is orange squash for those who wish to remember the party.

After the dance contest - in which partygoers attempt the Be-Bop Tango to music provided by Jannick Top - an enormous cake is wheeled in.

Upon O'Sullivan's musical cue, Univers Zero burst out of the cake!

Their set sorts the wheat from the chaff.  Whoever is left repairs to the library to discuss obscure 19th century literature until the sun comes up (and O'Sullivan disappears in a puff of smoke, leaving a small pile of grey ash next to the hurdy-gurdy).

Eventually the guests trickle away, leaving James's mum with the ideal opportunity to appear on 'How Clean Is Your House?'.

"Well, chaps, same time again next year?"

Have a great day!

James wrote: Thanks guys and girls! Melissa, if only it was like that, that would be fantastic!  Alas, the Hurdy Gurdy would have to remain unplayed though, in memoriam to the departed Yan Hazera of Zaar (who played guitar and Hurdy Gurdy), as a mark of deepest respect. Ah, well, you'll have to specify black armbands on the invitations. Oh and the surname Death (one branch changed the spelling to De'Ath) married into my family in the 19th Century, no joke!  Very distant to me, mind you. Really?  How intriguing!  And... strangely appropriate. Are you some morbid and long lost family member or was that a stab in the low lit hallway of Castle De'Ath? Related to James... hmmm.  Not as far as I know.  And I would know, because my Dad was OBSESSED with genealogy.  So I guess it was a mental epée lunge piercing the existential fog.  Or something... Also, how come your portrayal of my ideal birthday is so accurate? are you my evil thoughts splurging out its demonic vernacular onto this 'ere site and into the public domain of the Internet? Don't mind me, I'm just a quick study, a good judge of character.  (Don't your evil thoughts escape in more of a gaseous form...?) Very dastardly, don't you know!  Devilishly good fun, mind you, for ones of our distinction. That sounds nigglingly familiar, but my memory fails me... Anyway... enjoy your day, with or without such elaborate shenanigans.

Happy Birthday James!

Remember, you're only as old as the music you're into...

Happy Birthday James!!!!  And with that post I can also celebrate reaching the 5000 post milestone.  Just a drop in the bucket compared to the poster formerly known as Gecko but still a nice round milestone.

ooohh, reading and enjoying thoroughly...

Happy Birthday Falling Flower (18)! Where are you Debby?

Debby is fine, she's been in England and Scotland with her boyfriend... she's back in Belgium now.  She can be reached on last.fm and via MSN Messenger.

No idea why she's not been on MySpace though.

Anyhow... happy birthday Debby!  Have a great day.  I hope your man makes you feel proud of life and everything, he's very lucky!
