Post-Birthday Post

Wow, now that that little Otakulypse is over...

I want to thank everyone for the birthday gifts and portfolio posts. :) Also, if you haven't seen this card made by Raina...

So I guess I'm not an old man after all. :P

But, it's not every day you turn 30. I still can't quite fathom that I've managed to stay on this Earth for three decades. It seems pretty unbelievable, especially after all the crap I've been through in the last few of those years. Let's hope I make it to 40 to be amazed yet again.

In terms of birthday presents, not much from the family, although mom already got me that Victor Borge dvd set a couple weeks ago, and I guess you can count Pond as an early present too.

From Kat, I got (in a TARDIS-decorated box) a couple of nice art pieces: this picture of the Doc and this "trading card" of me (second from the left). There was also the new Owl City CD, and a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Pinkie Pie toy. Yes, I am man enough to accept it.

And, an unexpected present from Ichigo... a Kindle. O3O Some of our recent pre-podcast conversations have been about scifi and fantasy books, and the fact that I wanted an ebook reader, but didn't think I would get one soon since my money's going into my nutrition therapy and the cat these days. Little did I know the guy would be so generous as to buy me a Kindle. I thank him profusely. *bows*

Still waiting for Raina's present in the mail, so I'll post about that when I get it.
