Could probably make one if I put my mind to it. (have a few friends who hack arduino that tell me that since I am a “real” hacker it is probably even easier for me to program it.)

Many years ago I had a modern dance costume which was really just a dickies work jumpsuit (think car repair) with glowing, battery-powered EL wire, pinned and sewn all over it that would switch to on/off/blinking. We cut the stage and house lights and performed in the dark.

Having the technology this small and low-voltage, one could easily be a glowing ballerina; buy a cheap russian import tutu and sew into that instead of making the skirt, too.

A really good thing to not do on your birthday is fly over the international date line and have it disappear completely. I don’t think you are in danger of doing this. But if you keep this in mind, however your birthday goes, when it’s over, if it’s anything short of delightful, you can say, “Ah, well. At least I had a birthday.”

I’m thinking about whether the (non-birthday) surprise party I’m trying to pull off tonight has any chance of working. We’ll see.

And now? Thinking about nachos. Mmmm.

Ohmygosh Wormy! Cat games! Addictiveness! Nice.

@Andy – I’m ALSO thinking about nachos. Well, I guess I am often thinking about nachos.

I also pronounce it NATCH-os, pretending that I’m British, which then has the effect of making me giggle hysterically. Always fun!

@Chris – that Agony Column is THE BEST. Love love love. Thank you!

Not so much thinking as addictive clicking… :)

I’m also thinking about learning the habit of deciding to *like* what I’m going to do. If I’m going to do it, I’m going to figure out why someone likes it, and learn to like it myself.

I’m also thinking about nachos.

On your birthday,
do not work,
do not clean,
do not eat anything you don’t love,
do not be rigid with yourself,
do not forget to blow out a candle and make a birthday wish- doesn’t have to be on a cake since you don’t do sugar,
and do not forget to dance to some rockin’ music that makes you want to get your groove on!

Things I’m thinking about:

Naming my monsters as I figure out who they are. First is the Internal Defense Attorney Monster. Second is Ralph–the one who calls me LAZY and then jumps up and down when I think other people call me lazy.

And about shoes, and yesterday’s call, and how someone in the chatroom said how hard it is that someone is trying to “make” her deal with her stuff … which is what I do with my husband because his stuff (and his not working on his stuff) causes my stuff to combust … and how this all came together on Sunday as we rearranged the living room. Ugh. And how to write about it without it being a shoe.

And about this new discovery one of the scientists I work with made, in which he found out that the mechanism that kills broken cells is also responsible for calling 911 so the immune system can clean up the mess and start healing the wound. This has to be a metaphor for something … or something is a metaphor for this.

Things NOT to do on your birthday:

Mikelann wrote my list for me.

You know what would be awesome? To have some sort of costume-wearing celebration at the playground once it exists! I’d totally bring the skirt.

Also, hooray for bubbles.

Things I’m thinking about this morning:

The relationship between silence and power; silence and soul.

The visual field of eagles.

Things not to do on your birthday:

Anything you aren’t completely in love with.
