Happy Birthday To Me!
My birthday was the 30th; today we're having a group celebration for the several of us in my family who have birthdays around this time. I got lots of pressies--besides the Moody Blues concert Aunt Jackie took me to last week which was absolutely awesome I got two nice cream blouses and promise of new glasses (badly needed) and a nice check AND the DVD of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. Faerie Tale Theatre was a wonderful show in 1986 that only lasted one season and had low production values but was really good because they got some awesome actors to play the parts and direct. James Earl Jones, Leonard Nimoy, Tim Burton, Susan Sarandon, Anjelica Huston, Christopher Lee, Leslie Ann Warren, John Lithgow, Helen Mirren, Mary Steenburgen, Mick Jagger, Edward James Olmos, Liza Minelli, Gregory Hines, Jeff Bridges, Francis Ford Coppola, Bernadette Peters, Christopher Reeve, Rene Auberjonois, Melissa Gilbert, Lee Remick, Vanessa Redgrave, Vincent Price, Robin Williams, Teri Garr, Billy Crystal, Jeff Goldblum, Carey Fisher, and Burgess Meredith all worked on this show. I've wanted to have it for a long time--I loved it as a child, and for a good two decades you couldn't find it anywhere and we watched those tapes we made off of TV until they weren't worth watching anymore, and now I has it, my precious, I has it!

(Leslie Ann Warren, as in the one who was in the old Rodgers & Hammerstein Cinderella? Not that I don't recognize a lot of those other names too, but! Never seen her anywhere else.)
