I’m all lost…

Ahhhh, 39 again-I love just picking an age I like and staying with it. I had a semi-shitty birthday. Wonder what my b-day twin Madonna did? Maybe she and Lordes went for mother/daughter botox treatments while Rocco (why do we never see pics of him any more? Is he in his ugly tween stage?) sat in a corner playing his DSi and thinking up ways to escape Kabbalah.

My birthday was semi-shitty because:

• my own father didn’t send me a card or call me (I ended up calling him as it’s his birthday too).
• my best friend didn’t remember it was my birthday (until I mentioned I was a Leo in passing) because he’s “got a lot on his plate”
• I spent half the day pissed off that the best friend forgot
• then spent the other day in a Social Services waiting room to apply for an EBT card

So yes, superb day for the most part. It was brightened by many friends and acquaintances posting to my Facebook wall their well wishes which made my phone buzz throughout the day. I guess Facebook has its small rewards. I rarely go there anymore but can’t quit it until after my high school reunion next year. Since my Dad joined it has sucked the joy out of it. Stupid parents, still ruining my fun.

The best part of my day was getting to watch S4E4 of Mad Men. This week was the best one to date this season; it was Betty-free which is always a plus. John Slattery, who plays sexy beast Roger Sterling, directed and wow has he got an eye for that kind of thing. The writing was pretty awesome both story-wise and dialogue. Even my least fave character, Peggy, made me laugh and cry within 30 minutes of each other. Peggy is growing on me. Joan was rather crabby this episode and Don-well what can I say about Don. He still makes me want to try to fix him. That man needs a hug. And a bitch slap but I’d be afraid he’d enjoy that too much considering he pays hookers to slap him. Hot perv.

The other good part of my birthday happened over the weekend in the form of a gift-I got a new camera! I’ve been using a Canon PowerShot S70 since The Tank was almost 3  but was suffering from a combination of pixel-envy (akin to penis envy) and the inability to carry a supposedly point and shoot camera in my purse due to the S70′s size/weight. That is one big-ass little camera!  So over the weekend while out with my Mom she bought me a Nikon Coolpix L22. It’s got almost double the megapixels, a far bigger LCD screen(which is good considering in the last couple months my eyesight has really gone to hell. I need bifocals! Maybe it’s true what they say about masturbation) and size/weight wise it is bliss to tote around. Takes amazing pics too-all those new pixels call for me to practice my Photoshopping skills! Can’t have any wrinkles or pores showing in self-portraits now, can we?
