Happy birthday, Lev. Since you’re just another sap working for the man, I imagine you’re slaving away at Time right now while your editors have forgotten it’s your big day!

On that depressing note, I vote you go read your favorite graphic novel, play a text-based computer game then have a “next prime number” party.

Why would you do the same thing you have done for all your birthdays past? I demand that you start drinking early (beer, whiskey backed), flirt with a hot chick, and enjoy your success.

I’m a sappy nerd. When I got married, my wife and I had custom rings made with the pattern of two roses tied with a Celtic knot (long story where that came from). I got a cool, and very large, version of that tattooed on my forearm. Yes, I’m p-whipped, and happily so.

Captain Power!! Brilliant. I was just talking to my friend about Captain Power. Yes. Gaining an understanding to the agelessness of Richard Alpert would be the best advisable thing. The only draw back thus far is working for Jacob/the Island.

A Superhero suit? Haven’t done that since college, but it’s a great conversation starter.
.
I have to say a marathon of all the best Sci-Fi, action movies and possibly shows. Take your list and add Blade Runner, Lost, Gattaca, play all three Halos on Legendary back to back, BSG, Babylon 5-preferbaly the later seasons, Forbidden Planet, MST3K, watch Daredevil for a good laugh, and pray to the gods that Lucas saves his legacy by allowing others to lead the creative processes and direction of the live-action Star Wars TV series that takes place between ep. III and IV, he is planning to do. And last but not least this Friday tune in and watch the pilot/movie of Moore’s Virtuality on Fox.
.
Do any of the above options but the last two are non-negotiable. You must do the last two if nothing else.

I just turned 32 on monday… lets see.. I played Frisbee Golf, I played Laser Tag, I played Final Fantasy XI, I watched about 4 episodes of BSG (Introducing my Roommate to the show, he loves it.. so what gives?), played a little guitar (if only knowing 3 chords and the first 5-6 notes of Redemption Song count as playing) and had a little drink and a little smoke. You could always switch out/add Lost to that too though…

It was a nice day. But looking at it like that…I think I know why I’m single…

Oh, yeah, “Captain Power” is a good one! “And we’ll an rendezvous at Babylon 5…”
