Today is my birthday. I am 27 years old. My gift to myself today will be to make sure that I get lots of work done, eat healthily, remain sober (both in regards to drugs and sex), and generally just take good care of myself. This might sound like a rather boring gift to some people, but for someone as chaotic and disrupted as myself a moment of orderly peace is a real treat.

It's also the b-day of The Talker. Happy Birthday Mr. Talker!
