Wow! Talk about a birthday day having a huge swing. There's was nothing until the '60s and then bam! And especially my boy Rick Fox! How weird is it that the 23rd is the anniversary of his ex-wife being stripped of the Miss America crown and the 24th being his b-day? I wonder what he celebrates more. Damn, I wish I was partying with Fox tonite!

Also, I'm glad to see Anna Paquin is the same age as me. I had dirty thoughts about her in 'Almost Famous' despite the fact she looked quite young but disaster averted. Plus I still find her very attractive in Trueblood.
