big shout out to theseduction747 : HAPPY BIRTHDAY girl! just four days after mine. have a wonderful day and party-till-dawn, woman! i wish i can do that, but frankly i am not in the mood, and i also have a ballgame to play tomorrow morning. blah. cynthia dropped by last night to hook me up with my first damn microwave. its purple. i love it. people used to freak out asking how is it that a man lived by himself without a microwave? that part has now been solved. but that doesn't mean i am going to give up on cooking. =)
