First and foremost, it’s my wife’s birthday. She’s an extremely young 29. She said she better enjoy this birthday because every birthday after this one will also be her 29th birthday. Gotta love her. So far today she’s received the Grey’s Anatomy CD and the 4Gb pink iPod mini.

She met me for lunch and we went to Moon River Pizza. Here’s the newpaper ad for this place:

Greatest. Ad. Ever.

We’ll probably go out for drinks/appetizers for dinner then go see the movie Inside Man. It’s a heist movie, so you know I’m gonna talk about it here.

Happy St. Paddy’s Day to everyone. I’m home sick, so I’m not happy. Have a green beer for me.

While laying here calmly waiting for death, I watched the Jimmy Stewart classic Harvey. Not very leprechaun-y, but I don’t really have any movies dealing with St. Paddy’s Day that I can think of. This will have to do.

James Stewart plays the always polite, very easy-going everyman, Elwood P Dowd. His best friend is a 6′ 3.5″ white rabbit named Harvey only he can see. Actually, I should have watched this on Easter, considering it has a bunny in it.
Anywho, the whole movie his family is trying to commit him because they think he’s crazy. He keeps winning people over because he’s so polite and nice. Typical Jimmy Stewart. It’s a classic, and one I recommend. Very light comedy. Check it out.
