How do I celebrated my 24th birthday?
Let's start from early this morning, well, more than morning, start from 12AM, I called Steve in LA for advice about the contract I need to sign with Performance Automation. He ended up talking about windy ideas about Lord of the Ring and Harry Potter books. After about 30 minutes talk, we ended the conversation on the phone and I went ahead to sleep. After less than 5 hours of sleep, I have to drag my ass out of bed and get ready to work. I installed Movabletype publishing system to the server and tested a few things. Before long, it's time to get off work. I intended to go to a concert, but the ticket wasn't coming as smoothly as I thought. Jin isn't as enthusiastic to help me at all. He ended up getting himself a pair of tickets and leave me for nothing for a while. He finally ended up with one more ticket from his friend and I finally get the chance to go to THE concert. I realized that I barely have time to eat. I grabbed a sandwich from Harris Teeter and plan to eat it during the concert. During my visit to there, I picked up a Tiramasu cake for my birthday. :) Due to a small defect on top of the cake, the guy over the counter give me a coupon to take three dollars off. Nice dude. That's quite a pleasant visit.
The concert is such a huge disappointment. It's very very old songs with very very old black singers singing in very very old styles. I stayed for about 30 mminutes and finally decided to leave. It's a very good decision.
The rest of the night is kind of comical. I drove out again after driving for so long in a day to get a bottle of Vin de Glacia. After I came back and getting ready to enjoy the nice night with the tasty wine. However, I rapidly found out there is no bottle opener. So, I had to drive out again and hopefull it's the last time to get an opener. Now, it's time to enjoy the night and most importantly, my 24th birthday. Happy Birthday to me, and have a lucky upcoming year. I made a wish before I ate the cake. Hope that wish will come true too.
