A Vancougar Birthday

In approximately 80 minutes, Beth will be thirty. (This is a little Ontario-centric of me to say, because way the hell out there on the West Coast, she’s still got hours of I’m-still-twenty-nine-so-it’s-all-good time left, but in my defence she was born in the Eastern time zone.) Anyhow, Sarah and I are having a drink in your honour right now. Sadly it is not a Jager Bomb, but I believe I’ve promised my J-bomb v-chip to you at an earlier date, and I’d hate to renege on that.

Sarah here – just want to let Beth know how much we love and miss her, and that we are confident that this next year (and decade) will be her best yet!! And that we’ll call to express these same wishes, too.

Back to Dave – So, we’re going to come and see you soon, we promise. Now, go out and rip Vancouver a new one. In a good way.

And kick a hippie while you’re at it.

That is the best title EVER! Thank you sooo much for the birthday wishes!!

And not that I mean to be splitting hairs or anything, but if you are going to throw the "she was born in Ontario" technicality at me, I feel obligated to inform you that I was born at 3 pm EST, so I have until noon tomorrow PST (note: Jan 11 is *still* tomorrow here!)

So, thanks for the wishes, you two! I'll be watching my beloved-despised Canucks at Nevermind, and I will try to kiss a hippie while I'm there. You did say "kiss a hippie," right?

On saturday you should be at home, watching our webcast of the 24HR, which will be updated every 60 seconds.

Because, now that you're 30, you might as well sit at home and do nothing.

I thought "cougarism" doesn't start until you're 35...

I've never met you, Beth, but Happy Birthday all the same.

Don't kick a hippie....it might fight back. Kick a pidgeon instead.

No, no, no...kiss a hipster.

I believe there are better things to do with a hippie than kick . . .

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.
