    Happy birthday a little early! Is it a milestone birthday? Those can make you feel that you should feel a certain way, sometimes, but it is really up to you.
    I will be 70 in mid-April and THAT is old old old. But I feel triumphant to still be on THIS side of the dirt.

    56 but it being valentine's day kind of adds to the feelings

    I guess so. Just it's not really a milestone year, I mean 56 is nothing but I have always hated that it falls on Feb 14

    Could always be worse...

    April 1st
    July 4th
    September 11th
    December 25th
    February 29th (imagine celebrating your true birthday once every 4 years, except for years evenly divisible by 100, but not by 400, then it would be a gap of eight years)
    (But that might be a good thing?)

    I have never met or known anyone that had a birthday on a leap year. I thought they just do it every year like the rest of us.

    They usually celebrate on the 28th. Although you'll get the headline about a 5-year-old giving birth when she's actually 20.

    I just learned that this masterpiece by Kylie Minogue which was quite a hit in Germany during my youth was never released as a single in the UK because it was considered "too gay":

    What the hell is going on in the skies over North America? Twice in the last two days the US Air Force has shot down unidentified flying object. Now of course being a sci-fi fan my first thought is that an alien invasion is starting, but even if that isn't what's going in it's still little scary. If this is being done by a hostile country, like Russia or China, this could be the kind of thing that starts a war.

    I need to go to the grocery store. Anyone ever go to the grocery store on Super Bowl Sunday? I assume it's busier than normal earlier in the day, then gets a lot slower after the game starts.

    But what counts as "plain old weirdness?"

    Shit, I'll be 70 in October and I don't feel old. My dad and mom are still among the living at 93 and 92, respectively. Now that's old.

    If "too gay" was the standard, they would have to ban Kylie altogether! ;)

    Pretty much yeah. When I worked at Wal-Mart it would always be crazy in the hours leading up to the game, and then the store would be practically deserted once the game started. It would pick up a little bit when people went on supply runs during half time, but then would be it.
    Yeah, if it is aliens I just hope we haven't pissed them off too much.

    Nah, if it was really aliens the DOD and Pentagon would insist it's a weather balloon and that the missile was a misfire, error.

    Also is it wrong to like bad movies? I find some a guilty pleasure..
    Oh and Battleship is a bad movie, how did the aliens respond in less then a day when Earth only sent that signal a day ago?
