It's that time of year again!

Yes, it's that time of year again: Happy Birthday to Traci Lords, who turns a lovely 43 this year, although (as always) we'll always know her as the snotty, bratty hottie who wore very little blue very well, even though the picture to the left is about all you're ever allowed to see these days.

I mean, beside Traci (and myself, of course), the the list of birthdays today is pretty sad. The drummer for the Grateful Dead? The drummer for Immortal? The drummer for Trans Siberian Orchestra? Really, who listens to Trans Siberian Orchestra anymore, except at Christmas time? What's with all the drummers? Tim Russert? Gag me with a reporter's mic.

Anyway, I'm 45 today. My warranty expires. Expect to hear a 'clunk' all the way across Puget Sound when my ass falls off like an aging muffler.

I'm gonna spend the day listening to 1000 Fires.
