Happy Belated Birthday, AmyD
Amy is the one on the right |
AmyD is the very special ladyfriend of my brother. She's a renaissance woman: law student, future librarian, chef, gourmand, juggalo.
She's a heck of a dame, and we're glad to have her on Team Steans. I hope she was showered with gifts on her birthday, because I totally have not bought her one yet, and I'm hoping she's too busy with her other gifts to notice.
Thanks for putting up with my brother, and all of us.
Merry Birthday.

Happy Birthday, JimD
edit. Oh, hell. Apparently tomorrow is Jim's birthday. Just consider this an early present on Jim's B-Day Eve
we don't do birthdays around here much anymore. But it's Jim D's B-Day, and I remembered.

Dames to Watch Out For: Today is Jennifer Connelly's Birthday
which gives me an excuse to post a picture of Jennifer Connelly.
Ah, Ms. Connelly.
Unlike a lot of her contemporaries, Connelly never really became part of a Brat Pack or became known in the sort of faddish way many actresses get used up and spit out, only to wind up on absolutely terrible Lifetime and Hallmark Channel holiday movies. Which I've been watching again, and they are awesome.
Connelly was a child actress, showing up in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America as the 12-year-old Deborah, but I remember her as the girl from Labyrinth that I was crushing on and who was pursued by David Bowie and Muppets. Of course later she wound up as Bettie Page stand-in Jenny in The Rocketeer, which is worth watching just for Connelly in a cocktail dress.
She's gone on to all sorts of work, and has carved out an interesting career for herself while not melting down in public, but managing to mostly appear in movies I just never see. I think the last of her movies I saw was the iffy remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Still, my hat is off to Connelly, because, dang, yo. You keep being you, Ms. Connelly.

Happy Birthday to The Dug
Schniekies.
Today is the birthday of The Dug, brother of League-wife, Jamie.
Happy B-Day, Dug. I won't reveal how old you are, even if I get punched in the stomach forty times. Why, if forty angry badgers were biting my shins, I'd never say how old you'd become. For forty days and forty nights I could resist questioning that would reveal your true age.
Happy B-Day, Dug. May it be contain the fun of 40 Nukies.

I'm sure today is important for other reasons, too |
