First, I need to say that I'm lame as hell, Cait, for forgetting your birthday and not calling or anything. ARGH. So, happy late birthday!
And secondly, here's a bit of news that's maybe a little bit like a birthday present?

(And it also confirms to me that Radiohead is just the coolest band that ever was.)

Out of sheer boredom and the realization that I really have to stop spamming everyone I know with music, I finally broke down and made a music blog so that you all could make the choice on whether or not you wanted to be spammed.
http://theacrobat.livejournal.com/
Share it as you like. No promises that any music will be new or exciting.
EDIT: Please ask people to comment here or on the public post on that blog. Thanks.

Stolen from Lyn:
"Beatrix" by Dante Gabriel
Rossetti
You are a very loyal and devout
person. You have dedicated your soul to a
single cause and will never abandon it so long
as you draw breath. You are wise and venerable.
Graced with such honorable characteristics like
loyalty, courage, and honest people are
naturally drawn to you, because you are full of
all that is good. You are like a shining,
bright, white light in a room shrouded in
darkness.
Which beautiful pre-Raphaelite painting represents you? (9 beautiful photos)
brought to you by Quizilla
Ahem. That description doesn't, er, quite sound right. Like the picture though.

Every time I think Eddie Vedder (of Pearl Jam) can't get any stupider, he goes and proves me wrong:
(from CNN)
But he added he had been mulling an album title that was a play on Soundgarden's "Superunknown": "I was thinking of the word 'un-owned' -- not owned by anybody," he said. "The sky is un-owned. The moon is un-owned. We're un-owned. We want to remain un-owned. The title was 'Superun-owned.' "

Distracting myself from homework at the moment, I give you banned books. Ganked from channonyarrow, the ones I've read are in bold. Feel free to comment with what you think I should have read but haven't. *grin*
( BANNED! )
This has led me to the conclusion that I throw a lot of banned books my children's way also. *grins* Since many of these are their favorites as well.
