special k

today's kara's birthday! happy birthday, kara. we're going out to dinner on thursday. because we're both off friday, we'll be able to party hard. no worries, dear readers; the restaurant and the martini bar we'll likely visit afterwards are walking distance from our house.

i'm not sure why, but i tend to find it interesting to learn what folks share a birthday with folks i care about, and today i learned that today is also the birthday of one django reinhart. sure, he was born several decades before my kara, but still. not that i'm all into astrology or even particularly familiar with the alleged personality characteristics of individuals of given astrological signs (kara's aquarius; i'm taurus), but from a quasi-historical perspective, i'm interested.

other folks with this birthday: stendahl, leadbelly, ernie kovacs, sonny chiba, rutger hauer, richard dean anderson, and (woo!) mariska hargitay. so a very happy birthday to those folks as well i'm sure.

anyway. happy birthday, kara! what fine company you're in. i love you.
