happy birthday, uncle kracker!

Today was Uncle Kracker's birthday. He turned 31. I just find it enjoyable to say "Uncle Kracker".

It's also Sandra Bernhard's birthday. She's turning 50, which means that when I was younger and thought she was hot in kind of a weird way, I could have probably had a chance...if I had lived in New York and attended very eclectic gallery openings, and had developed some good pickup lines. Or maybe not.

It's also Paul Giamatti's birthday (38). I think Giamatti is a class act, and I recommend you check out anything he's done. Except for that stupid flick about the kid whose screenplay gets ripped off by the evil film director. That was some loathsome crap.

Finally, B. B. King's birthday is coming up. Everyone should go buy a blues CD and then raise a glass to the old masters. This contemporary stuff just doesn't cut it. It is also hard to believe that Eric Clapton just turned 60 this year, and King will be 80 soon. Seems like one should be much older than the other.


we love you too, lucille
