I suspect Artie Fufkin...

Um ... okay. Today is my birthday. And apparently Artie Fufkin knew about it because this is what my cubicle looks like this morning...







Looks like I'll be leaving a trail of glitter everywhere I go today.

Thanks, Artie. (No, you're not in trouble for this.)

1:20 pm "American Dreaming" Dead Can Dance (If I can't play Dead Can Dance on my birthday, then something's wrong with this world. What a great song!)

Check out the lyrics:

American Dreaming

I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land

We've been too long American dreaming
And I think we've all lost the way
Fair long somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

I'm in love with an American girl
Well she's my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her

And we'll go dancing and rings of laughter
We’ll leave along by the shores
Fair long in the bounds of rapture, speed along for the lost

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long, how long?

Fair long in the grounds of allegiances we left behind
Turned back by the foot of the doorway
Live the lost and found

We've been too long American dreaming
I think we've all lost the heart
Fair long somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long, how long?
