The Rundown

The birthday was great.

Wonderful dinner with great friends at McCormick & Schmick's

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (The Complete Recordings)

Alex Ross's terrific new book The Rest is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century

The Stuff of Thought: Language as a Window into Human Nature (Stephen Pinker)

And cake. Delicious, succulent, homemade red velvet cake. Mmmmmm...

I used that title for a blog post.

Hopefully my tRotK (why do people keep leaving off the "The"?) score will be waiting for me in the mail today... if it's not, I'm going to cry.

You truly are an intellectual if you are blogging about those two books in the same category as cake and Howard Shore.
