Milla Jovovich, I Love You

This is how I decide what to stream on Netflix:

Scroll ... scroll ... scroll ... "This looks terrible."  *clicks play*

Right now I'm watching Faces in the Crowd:  "Milla Jovovich stars..."

I read no further; they had me at Milla Jovovich.

This is not going to be a good movie.

In other news, my brother had a birthday this year!  (<-- You know what?  I'm not even going to correct that.  What is wrong with you, Brain?  He had a birthday this year, but not last year when he got stuck in that quantum time trap and did not age?  Stupid brain).  Moving on... he had a birthday last week, turning the ripe old age of 36.  (Oh, wait... that's the age I'll be turning this year.  How sad for me.)  27.  He turned 27.  I think.  It might have been 26.  I am old; I don't remember things as well as I used to.

I got all artsy with his berfday card.

Talent.  So much talent contained in one individual.
I'm a good speller too:  HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

It looks like Billy is taking that little ox on a walk up the hill, but it's actually supposed to be a little inset picture, magnifying the ox tattoo he's getting on his arm. 

...

Ok, so he's not getting an ox tattoo on the arm and frankly, I think his arm will be the lesser for it.  He is, however, getting a new tattoo courtesy of Heather's Checking Account.  (Tattoo TBD.)  I like to support my siblings' growing tattoo collections.  My sister's most recent, for example:

So, that's not her actual tattoo.  I can't find a picture of her actual tattoo, but that's what it looks like.  Phylogenetic tree.  Fancy.

Things I have eaten recently:  collared greens (delicious), vegan "steak & cheese" (surprisingly delicious), vegan "mac & cheese" (amazingly delicious), made some bean soup (everything I make is delicious), persimmon (squishy), olive (DO NOT LIKE), jicama (weird), fried jalapeno thingie (I love jalapeno thingies), bread with basil and prosciutto (DO LIKE), quinoa and black bean recipe (did I mention that everything I make is delicious?), some odd vegetable from the Whole Foods salad bar -- the name eludes me at the moment (see above about age).

And that's what's going on with me.

Also, I want a new tattoo.

Also also, that movie was horrendous.  1-star.

Bullets and Birth

Today my wonderful friend, Meredith, turns, um, an-age-older-than-she-was-last-year.  I like to draw birthday cards for my people using Paint; it amuses me (and hopefully them as well).  For Mer's b-day celebration, we're going to a shooting range to shoot MACHINE GUNS!

She also really likes Swedish Fish.

It'll look just like that.  Meredith is 9' tall, but I'm happy to report her body is quite a bit more proportional that I depicted it up there.  (But she really does have rad blue hair (sometimes).)

For my first attempt I was going for something along the lines of, "Meredith should fire that weapon as if she is shooting all of the assholes who have ever been mean to her because she pretty much rocks as a friend (sister, wife, etc.) and no one should ever be mean to her", but it ended up just looking more violent and bloody and less HAPPY BIRTHDAY I THINK YOU ARE AWESOME.

Murder-Death-Kill-Birthday

Anyway, Happy B-day, Mer-dith.  Can't wait to play with guns and drink beer with you (doesn't get much more Amurrican than that).
