In a few short hours I hope to find myself at my birthday party. I know it’s happening tonight, but not where or what’s going on and I’m quite content with that. I have been told by several though that I am going to have sooo much fun. Can’t wait. In the meantime, here is this week’s roundup.

Firstly, Lorne emailed me a link that turned out to be the revealing of Cap’n Crunch’s full name.

Godwhacker posted this set of videos that put together are the Birthday episode of “Absolutely Fabulous” where Edina turns 40. Yeah, it was for my birthday and I realize I’m putting it in my own Roundup. “I know it sounds selfish, sweetie, but it’s me, me, me!”

Hayes also posted a birthday tribute for me. Tee-hee.

“They already have our home address, dimwits!”

Paul has been posting some of his songs on his site and this one got completely entangled in my brain.

Funny stuff:
He was bitten by a spider and received amazing powers: an erection from Hell.

A new read for me — Chinglishness. This particular entry made me laugh my ass off and then wonder if it ended up at the restaurant.

Olivia wanted to let everyone know how she feels about your driving.

Dr. Jeff Masters, meteorologist extraordinaire (yes, I read meteorology blogs AND I have a boyfriend. Put that myth in your low pressure system and try to rain on it.), talks about how it’s not the major weather disasters that are killing us, it’s the boring ones you never think about.

Why hadn’t someone thought of this before? It blows my mind… and my hair.

And finally, the winner of the Spicy Cauldron Poetry Contest was announced and it was Sue! She had a great poem that not only was fun, but was formatted in an original way that really catches the eye. Congrats, Sue, and thank you so much, Andy, for having the contest and trying to inspire us to write something we don’t normally. Expanding into new territories within your mind — not national borders — is challenging and healthy.

UPDATE: Andy reminded me of one I forgot to mark for inclusion here. Hot Doctor Wife has a ghost in her house. The incidents are very spooky to read.
