A Patton Oswald Birthday

Patton Oswald, of "KFC Famous Bowls" fame, once joked that it is stupid to celebrate insignificant birthdays - especially ones over 21 that don't end in a 0 or a 5.

Fair enough, although there's no need to repeat my 27th birthday when I downed a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black because I have bad taste in women. This year, my 29th, I worked a full day (with bonus sinus headaches), had drinks at Happy Hour with a couple good friends, and met up with a different group of friends for dinner. We ate at Vortex, which is not only awesome for biker and hot goth chick decor (the place looks like it was decorated by the Suicide Girls), but for fantastic food AND the fact they pay for your meal on your birthday. Sweet.

A couple girls joined my old fraternity brothers and I, and as it happens conversation turned from politics and physics to the fact that always think about sex during vocal drinking games. The way I see it, it was just a long day.
