Load Up Your Guns, Bring Your Friends

It's my birthday today. 2003 was about the year before. In 2002, there was the Bali Bombing. In 2001, George W. Bush aired a special episode of America's Most Wanted, featuring terrorists. In 2000, the USS Cole was damaged by two suicide bombers. Today... nothing but a load of fucking Superman clips. Look, I don't ask for much. I don't make a deal out of my birthday. I don't much care about it. It's just a day.

But.

But I've gotten used to having something of interest happen on the day, and this shit just isn't cutting it. The days before built up nicely: election, Derrida dying, then Reeves...

I'm a bored twenty something. Entertain me.
