Berfday Musings

So my birthday was Friday, and it's the first time I've gotten drunk on my birthday. I turned 24. I've been able to drink legally for 3 years now. Yet drinking is something that I haven't really started doing with any real frequency until the last year or so. Jesus, am I ever boring.

And another non-event that's forever bound to my birthday. 9 years ago today, March 6th, my first serious girlfriend, Tammy, and I started "going out." You know, the high school "going out" definition that a generation earlier called "going steady" where you're boyfriend/girlfriend and seeing each other exclusively. Anyway, we broke up in 1998, but since I'm a wacko for dates (for no reason that I can put my finger on), I'll never forget this one. Yay.

More Randomness

I don't know why I'm blogging this, but I just found one of the dumbest mistakes in cinema history listed on Internet Movie Database.

While in the cave discussing water shortage, water is seen dripping in the background.

It's from "Vertical Limit," starring Bill Paxton and Chris O'Donnell. I saw it playing on FX and couldn't remember the name of the movie so I looked it up on IMDb. Now some other movie started with Angelina Jolie. (I just looked it up. It's "Life or Something Like It." Edward Burns is a funny dude.)
