I survived another birthday. I say “survived” because there was a Dalek Invasion.

Daleks, in case you were wondering, smell like lemon candy. They also look a little stressed. Probably because of the Doctor. You never forget your first Doctor. (Tom Baker)

I also have Ahistory: An Unauthorized History of the Doctor Who Universe (Second Edition).

In non-Who related gifts, there’s The Chains That You Refuse by Elizabeth Bear, Lapsing Into a Comma : A Curmudgeon’s Guide to the Many Things That Can Go Wrong in Print–and How to Avoid Them by Bill Walsh, and a very cool Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, which is very cool and silly and easy.

We had dinner at Lebanese Taverna and oh. My. God. I wanna go back right now and just get nothing but falafel, hommos, and spinach pies.

… and coffee.
