birthdays! important! they are the way for everyone to get to be celebrated one day of the year. desh, i think you ought to do something for your birthday.

* get a friend to take you out to a meal or a night on the town
* have some friends over and watch movies or play games or play video games or eat food, or some combination
* have someone else throw a party for you [much easier]

maybe me and dan can take you out to lunch on wednesday, what do you think? we're meant to be having lunch together anyway.
