thanks 4 adding me! BTW, I listened to your music and I love it! I was always a fan of the classical music. Composers like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Chopin. The requiem's used to draw me, some tended to sound very dark and in life I was always broken hearted so it suited me. It's so nice to meet you here, have a blessed Sunday!
Close! The expression generally is "joyeux anniversaire!" It was a good day; we saw "The Dark Knight"...excellent movie. I think you and Sarah will like it!
I created this while in LA, and I didn't have any of my photos on my work computer. I have to create a myspace page for my work (!), so I started one for myself first to get some practice. Don't yet know how to change the background/layout.
Yeah, luckily we didn't get this Bears game on our rabbit ears. I checked the score periodically until it became to painful -- soon after a Benson fumble, I think.
Did you see the Star Wars episode of Family Guy? There was a John Williams/Danny Elfman comparison on there that I thought may have reflected your opinion.
