So, do we get to know what the birthday present is?

We got her an IPAD Air with a case that has a keyboard built into it  :)

Don't tell me that Jerry Seinfeld made an appearance too!  Wow, you really know how to throw a par-tee! :D

I'm glad you said that the birthday party was at Texas Roadhouse.  From the looks of what is entering the frame from stage left, I would have guessed Hooters. ;)

Nice to see the Vixter, but miss her blondness.

Topic of the Day addendum:  right now, I'm reading Mark Helprin's "Winter's Tale" (along with BK's "Red Gold") and this is the first paragraph to the "WT" prologue:

A great city is nothing more than a portrait of itself, and yet when all is said and done, its arsenals of scenes and images are part of a deeply moving plan. As a book in which to read this plan, New York is unsurpassed. For the whole world has poured its heart into the city by the Palisades, and made it far better than it ever had any right to be.

The scenes and images in the book were very vivid.  For this reason I am looking forward to the movie.

I'm only halfway through the book and I can't imagine how they're going to condense it all into a movie...or what they're going to choose to be in the movie.  But watching the trailer, the woman who plays Beverly Penn is British and speaks with a British accent!  The character is born and raised in New York State!  What's that all about?? 

Hmmmmm.

yes I know I birthed a blonde blue eyed child  but by means of contact lenses and cosmetic trickery she celebrated this birthday as a raven haired, brown eyed beauty



Variety is fun.

Pretty damn good, actually, and I've enjoyed all those first lines of great books.  I would agree that the first line of Nineteen Eighty-Four is genius.

Been eating some non-caloric junk like low-cal popcorn.  Yucky, but I hadn't eaten since noon.

We're in that rather ugly period where actors are off book and forgetting every other word - I have never heard "line" called so many times in my life.  When I was a young actor, I got off book as fast as I could and once off I was OFF.
