Happy Birthday Inky!

Leave Crete and come to us
waiting where the grove is
pleasantest, by precincts

sacred to you: incense
smokes on the altar, cold
streams murmur through the

apple branches, a young
rose thicket shades the ground
and quivering leaves pour

down deep sleep; in meadows
where horses have grown sleek
among spring flowers, dill

scents the air. Queen! Cyprian!
Fill our gold cups with love
stirred into clear nectar

- Sappho, tr. M.Bernard.

Woop!

Make it a good year.

I'd like to add that at this point I have taken my Spider Jerusalem action figure and tied his wrist to my Cassidy (from Preacher) action figure just so I can work out which positions are feasible with them and which aren't.

Read that and weep, internet. Weep!

I wish I could match Eral's sublime opener for my birthday wish to you...

I was trying to think up some inspirational words, and at this time of night, all I could thing of is Nellie McClung, for some reason. No poetic beauty; just tough practicality:

"Never apologize, never retract, never explain. Get the work done and let them howl."- Nellie McClung

Thanks, everybody! Eral, I lurve that poem. I had a nice, mellow day. I had all sorts of wacky hijinks planned for the weekend, but decided I was close enough to burning out and have spent the weekend reading and drinking beer. It's been GOLORIOUS. Not a bad way to kick off my late 20's.

You know, I always thought the hobbits did it right. It's much easier to keep track of things if you give everybody else presents on YOUR birthday, instead of having to remember theirs.

Umm, no. Lots of presents on your birthday and general celebration of your existence is the go.

Drinking beer and kicking back is good, too.

Glad you liked the pome. :) I pride myself on my birthday accolades, and I thought that one was pretty good. Apt. ;D
