And Many More...

Today is the natal anniversary of a certain Shanna who regularly haunts the comments here. I asked her if she wanted anything for a gift, and, well, you know young girls -- she wanted a bunch of fluff that had to do with hearts, flowers, stuffed animals and the color pink. Thankfully, I managed to convince her that Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies cards might be something she can make use of for her woo purposes, and she was absolutely delighted by my perceptive thoughtfulness.

So there you go. A gift for Shanna, and an article on Eno for Noel. If only I could have worked in an angle on extreme Scandinavian metal, cycling or wine snobbery for Brian, this post could have had something for everyone! I'll keep aiming for that trifecta.

You bastard. It seems to me YOU have a milestone birthday coming up. Revenge will be sweet.

But thanks for the cards. They look AMAZING

Happy Birthday, Shanna!

I feel so decrepit around you darn kids.

I will use this post to provide my gift to you which also corrects Scribblers' failure:

Brian, if I live to be 100 I will never get a gift as unique as that. That was... special, in so many ways I can't express

All the growling reminds me of the yeti powwows in my homeland. Your perceptive thoughtfulness is overwhelming.

Are you blogging from the Himalayas? I didn't there was wi-fi on Everest.

It's a little known fact that Canada has a well-integrated yeti population ;)
