Today I turn 35! Fate was kind enough to schedule a four-day weekend around my birthday so it's like an extended birthday celebration for me this year. People really seem to be embracing the concept - they're giving each other chocolate eggs in my honour etc. Couldn't be happier.

My birthday haul this year has included an awesome statuette of Altair from Assassin's Creed, a copy of Family Guy: Blue Harvest and Office Space on DVD and the latest CD from The Panics.

So remember the true meaning of this 2008 long weekend: My thirty-fifth!
