Thanks a lot for all the kind words guys. The birthday will be pretty low-key. I need to teach a section at 6 pm on philosophers of nationalism -- Fichte, Mazzini, O'Connell, John Stuart Mill and Metternich. Before doing that however, I have to read them
. Not too much luckily. As for gifts, I'm not really out for much -- some new wool slippers from my birthplace, New Zealand, and maybe a nice bottle of wine.
JMT -- I suppose I might look a bit like Shostakovich, I just need the coke-bottle glasses. Maybe I will be him next halloween. I can think of only one or two people who would recognize me though...
genetic -- hmm, if only my family thought like you! That would be an awesome gift.
Oh, and vikram, if I could have one present today, it would be you telling me your recipe for the drink we had at your house. It wasn't chai was it? I thought it was coffee with cardamom and other spices right? It was great...
I think my students would be much happier buying me 1 P.O.S. than a PS1...but thanks for suggestion. And thanks again for all the comments guys, it is nice to hear since none of my family or really close friends are out here on the west coast (except for head-fiers of course).
