Well, my 30th birthday rolled around yesterday and I spent it resting up, and then going to eat. While waiting for my meal, I managed to watch the recent Cowboys game, and got bummed out a bit, which is not good when having a deep dish Chicago-style pizza for dinner (although due to a ordering error, I got a medium for a the prize of a small one. Decent amount of leftovers...)
Next, I went down to Barnes and Noble and picked up a few little gifts for me, such as The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born, (a "purdy" looking book), and a new special edition of one of my favorite movies ever, The Third Man with Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles, with a script by Graham Greene. It's a great film about post-World War II Vienna, with a rather clumsy hero, a surprisingly cool antagonist, and a thrilling climax in the sewers. Definitely worth viewing.
Nothing like leftover pizza and great movies to tie off a good day...
"Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
