newnumber6Yes, I'm another year older. Well, technically, I'm exactly the same age as I was the day before, plus a couple days.
What did I do? Nothing particularly special. Got one phone call from my grandmother, and a handful of Facebook messages wishing me a happy birthday from people who know me in person, a few other online greetings from people who don't. My dad and stepmom took me and my brother and his girlfriend to lunch, a little greek place that's actually not far from where we live.
Had a gyro dinner, which didn't come with either tzatziki or pita (we asked for the tzatziki later and got it, it just was a bit weird that it didn't come standard), and rice and onion rings and a greek salad as sides, and it was all delicious. Also shared with others at the table a plate of "Feta Fries", which is fries with feta cheese and some kind of oil/vinegar/oregano/other stuff dressing over the fries, and it was remarkably good. Like REALLY good.
The place is close enough, and good enough, that when taste of the Danforth rolls around, instead of going to the Danforth, I'll go there and get a gyro sandwich (which was on the menu and includes the tzatziki and bread aspect I would assume), and maybe even more Feta-fries. Not just because it's probably good but it's also the only restaurant in walking distance aside from the Danforth itself that has pork gyros instead of just chicken gyros (I still don't get that. That's not a real gyros!). And maybe for the occasional gyro cravings as well..
Later had tacos (the mexican Gyros) for dinner, and a bit of cheesecake for dessert.
So, yeah, that was my birthday.
Oh, and thank you![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

In other news, I got my yearly haircut. No, no pictures. Well, perhaps eventually pictures. But not now.
The Legend of Korra's first two episodes have been released, but I haven't watched them yet... why? Because I'm engaging on a rewatch of all of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender. In the second book (Earth) now. I want to finish before I watch Korra... and it has the side benefit of meaning less of a wait before the THIRD episode, which comes out late April.

I mean, okay, if you're somewhere that there are no other animals around, sure, I can understand... by all means, gyro-up a chicken as a last resort. . Or, if you're gyroing everything around and you want to show off, okay, it's a little unnecessary, but whatever. But there is NO excuse for it being the only kind of gyro on your menu. :)
