soulstarMeme as seen on just about my entire flist:
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year. Post it in your journal.
Three Facts:-
1662 - Charles II of England sells Dunkerque to France for 40 000 pounds.
1931 - Al Capone convicted of income tax evasion.
1967 - The musical Hair opens at the Anspacher Theater on Broadway.
Two Births:-
1918 - Rita Hayworth, American actress (d. 1987)
1940 - Peter Stringfellow, British nightclub owner (ewwww... I'm kind of going off my birthday now!)
One Death:-
1849 - Frédéric Chopin, Polish-French musician and composer (b. 1810)
(Other births: Arthur Miller, Ziggy Marley, Chris Kirkpatrick, Eminem, Wyclef Jean and Kimi Räikkönen, who is younger than me - huh)
Meanwhile, today I have done a lot of crawling about on the floor, untangling cables, rearranging extension plugs, dusting and hoovering a la Heiniken (reaching parts that other... yeah, bad pun), and then finally getting it all sorted out and installing my USB hub. So hoorah, now I can have both Sam and Gene the Palms hooked up at once, and my printer is now connected via USB instead of parallel via the scanner. Which leaves me a port spare - and easily accessible, woohoo - for the pen drive or tinycrapdigicam, or whatever I need it for. Much better :-)
So I reckon that excuses me from doing anything else for the rest of the day. I'm off to Mum's in an hour for dinner, anyway.
