Last Thursday was of course my birthday, and we celebrated as we usually do: watching horror movies, in this case a Boris Karloff triple feature, thanks in part to one of my presents. I also received several Doctor Who DVD sets from another of my generous gentlemen, and both of those gents also gifted me with sums of money which went a long way toward making up my shortfall (as did Dr. Quest). Another of my gents gave me a Blackmore’s Night CD I’ve wanted for a while, and Chekhov and Yellowbird gave me a pack of “Alice in Wonderland” themed playing cards and a MAD Magazine compilation; it was in the envelope with the Vincent Price design, which was printed by Yellowbird with her fancy art printer because she does clever things like that. They also gave me the haunted house, which was actually a pop-up card! And Chekhov made the cake. All in all, it was a quiet evening at home embellished with the company of friends and gifts from admirers, and at this stage of my life that’s exactly how I like my birthdays.
