Then fall apart, then start again

Rabbit, rabbit. The weather around here is doing its best impression of the hurricane we didn't get in August.

Last night lesser_celery brought me an early birthday present: a copy of Patricia Russo's Shiny Thing. I've also now got a DVD of The Legend of Hell House (1973), which I should really not watch this afternoon, seeing as how Alison and I are supposed to spend the evening with Spice & Wolf (2008) and Ethiopian food.

I am extremely glad that the tank-driving mayor of Vilnius showed up to the Ig Nobels to claim his Peace Prize.

In eight days, I'll be thirty.

Happy October!

Glad to hear of the good things. Hope ye enjoy the Spice and Wolf and the Ethiopian food!

This is indeed a fine and pleasant thing.

Not a bad age to be. Ten days after that, I'll be thirty-six.

I hope the weather isn't as bad as what we had then. Or at least that your power says on.

Happy early birthday!

Thank you! You also!

Which means you are a year-of-the-rabbit person, as am I, and indeed, my birthday is this month too. But, I'm a 12-year cycle ahead of you, so when my birthday comes along, I shall be 48.

What are hare people like?

The only characteristic I can remember is that they are artistic and like pretty things (because in this regard they resemble Libras). ** cucumberseed who is also a 12-year cycle behind me, and who shares a birthday with the ninja girl, will know more. He is an expert in all things Hare.

**I guess that's two characteristics? Math.

I believe I'm a rooster, which depresses me every time I read it on a placemat—arrogant, conservative, perfectionist, self-centered. I don't know what the element of metal adds, except maybe I'm also supposed to have money?

Little Springtime is also a rooster--one cycle behind you. The thought of either of you being conservative makes me laugh out loud. Perfectionist, possibly. Self-centered? No, not that I've noticed. Arrogant? Well arrogance is an interesting characteristic. I'd say you have highwayman arrogance. You make demands. And who wouldn't want to rise to them! I'd take that flavor of arrogance over many a flavor of humility, thank you.

highwayman arrogance

I like that phrase.

Thank you!

Indeed. So, we're both Rabbit-Libras, to coin a (shamelessly multi-cultural) phrase?

Happy early birthday to you!

And to you too!
