Went to dinner at Damon's [Sports Bar], got both steak and bbq ribs! Also got stood on a chair for their birthday callback-style song, which was entertaining. :)

From parents, in addition to things already purchased, I got a nice pair of warm, waterproof motorcycling gloves, with a squeegee on the left thumb for faceshield-wiping. Also got two graduation cards from Matt & Steph, as they lost them before graduation, so they became birthday cards instead. :) They also got me a Masters of the Universe tshirt, and Steph made me a fleece hat. (They lost one of Brendan's, jester style, and unable to find the vendor again, she decided to make him one.. and then ones for everyone else. :) Mine's a couple feet long, black with white snowflakes. :)

Came home, had a bit of each of two birthday cakes--one from Steph, one from mom--opened the bike cover which I already knew I was getting but mom decided to be silly and wrap, and replied to lots of LJ comments. :)

(Also, in the mail earlier, I got some really nice dark red socks, knitted by my grandmother, to the tune of about a week's labor. :)

Oh, you know I want to see the hat! Take a picture of yourself wearing the hat, with the macaw on your shoulder. :-D

I'm pretty sure that would turn into a picture of "macaw chewing on hat". :)

(And shoulder as a perch for a pet bird is generally a bad idea, incidentally. Arm is OK though. :)

Also, I'd have to get someone else to take it for me regardless.

'Macaw chewing on hat' would be cute. Do it! You know you want to!

This is why cameras have timers. Some of my best work has involved a timer. ;-)

You assume that a) I have a decent tripod, and b) I have any chance of getting the macaw to do something planned in 8 seconds. :)

Tripod? Tripods are for the unadventurous! :-)

So, just hold it with your toes? :)

No, silly...run all around the room with the preview screen on until you find something to set it on! :-)

Preview screen? What, you think I have a digital camera with a preview screen? Not so much.

Oh...then run around the room with the camera up against your face until you find something to set it on. ;-)
