Gruuugh.

Today, I am mostly feeling like crap. I blame work. Well, a combination of work, hayfever and sinuses anyway.

Still... only 2hrs 45 minutes (ish) until I can escape. I expect to spend that time ploughing through project specifications and statements of work. In other words, doing dull things that will almost certainly become fiction within a matter of weeks. possibly even days.

Go to Wikipedia and put in your birth date. Don't put in the year. Post in your LJ with three neat/important events, two births, and two deaths!

Events:
1933 - The Blaine Act ends Prohibition in the United States. (They ended prohibition for my birthday! Huzzah! I sense a party theme for sometime in the future!)
1958 - Pope Pius XII declares Saint Clare of Assisi (1193~1253) the patron saint of television
1959 - The first weather satellite, Vanguard 2, was launched to measure cloud-cover distribution.

The shared birthdays of shame:
1953 - Norman Pace, British actor and comic (one half of Hale and Pace)
1981 - Paris Hilton, American actress and heiress (Aiee! The horror!)
(There were remarkably few decent births listed. Which is odd, as I know there's a fair few, I just can't remember who they are!)

Deaths:
197 - Clodius Albinus, Roman usurper (killed in battle)
1609 - Ferdinando I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (b. 1549)
