There is still no cure for the common birthday

Approaching my birthday this year was interesting. I didn't look forward to it; I didn't dread it. There wasn't anything that I really wanted either.

I received some nice shirts, a tie, and Mario Galaxy for the Wii (I am actually really excited about playing that). Nothing major. But, as I said, I didn't have a list of items I really wanted.
