37! (in a row?)

 Happy Easter, everyone!

And since it's the end of March, last week was my 37th birthday.

It's just a weird age, in general. That feeling that I'm closer to 40 than 30. You know, I was afraid of turning 30, but my thirties haven't been so bad. Forty is just a bigger number.

Yep. Bigger number.

I'm not happy about that. Lemme post some pics I took this month.

Birthday lunch! Yes, I somehow managed to finish the whole thing. I should've gotten a half rack.


And just this past Friday I went back to NYC for lunch at Ichiran! Still real good, but my intestinal tract isn't liking that I went spice level 8.

I finally put up a second corkboard to fit the pins I've bought that didn't fit on the original corkboard. And I'll have you know I only cried three times trying to put it up, too.

And here's that original corkboard:

It's funny, it took about ten years worth of collecting to fill up the first board. Almost everything that's on the second board is what I've gotten since *October.* And I've bought more since I've put it up. I have a problem.

McDonald's had another gimmick McNugget sauce, this time a spicy sweet chili sauce for an anime WcDonald's promotion. It was definitely spicy, but wasn't exactly my cup of tea. I liked the Mambo sauce way better.

And probably one of the coolest things I ever saw happened by pure chance. A few Sundays ago, a lil Merlin falcon landed in my backyard and started going to town on a dove.


It mostly yanked out the poor dove's feathers before it flew off with the carcass. I didn't get a pic of that, mostly because I was too mesmerized by the sight.

I hope you all had a good month, and I'll see you all in April!
