Today is Robyn’s 28th birthday, usually she gets overshadowed by my birthday as they are so close together, like last year we went to Turner Field with friends for my birthday and we really didn’t do anything for hers. Usually we’d go to her parents lake house over Memorial Day weekend and have “cake by the lake” in a joint celebration, but seeing as we’re now a 4 hour drive away (and Robyn had to work on Memorial Day (and I had some freelance work for old employers)) we decided give that a miss this year, so when Robyn’s parents came up to visit us a few weekends ago, we had an early celebration.
So instead we’ve kept it pretty low key, on my birthday I was recovering from the second part of my root canal so no special meal, instead we played the Wii most of the night, building up a decent rivalry on Wii Sports in the process. Jill and Ryan came round for a little while to give me a card and gift, but really, nothing special happened.
We went out for a meal on Sunday evening to a place called Wise Guys in Mooresville for a lovely meal on the shores of Lake Norman. I’m not sure what we’ll do tonight though, maybe nothing, maybe something… I just wanted to wish her a happy birthday regardless.

The logo for the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics has been unveiled in a star-studded ceremony in London. The jagged emblem, based on the date 2012, comes in a series of shades of pink, blue, green and orange and will evolve in the run-up to the Games. And it’s ugly, fugly, bugly…
Paris Hilton has been released from jail after serving just three full days of her sentence, but she will be kept under house arrest and must wear an electronic tag for another 40 days. The decision was made as a result of a medical problem, but officials refused to give details of the condition. I sense bullshit, rampant bullshit… $50 say she’ll be seen out partying by the weekend.
