They say it's your birthday...it's his birthday too, yeah

It's my (adorable, super smart, hilarious, handsome, and did I say funny?) nephew Henry's birthday today, and it has never escaped me that January 8th is also the (immensely talented, handsome, mercurial, hopelessly in love with that beanpole Iman) Thin White Duke's birthday, too.


Arrested with his buddy Iggy Pop in 1976 for pot possession

How many people can pull off looking foxy, not to mention cool and collected, in their mug shot? Sigh. It's also surprising he was busted for something as tame as weed possession, considering all the other crazy drugs he was ingesting around this time. Anyway.

Back to Henry.



I threw a finger puppet in with his presents for Xmas. Here it is on my postal scale before I shipped him off to yonder islands. Will you look at this guy? Holy zombies!



But Henry's reaction was a little.... Well, I think it's best expressed by his expression in this photo, taken last weekend when he was on a hike with his buddy Ronan.

Whassamatta kid, you put off by a loose eyeball, an exposed brain, and some dripping brain goop? Well...OK. Sorry, Henry. If I send you another such object, I will make sure its head is intact and both peepers are safely in their sockets.

In the meantime, Happy Birthday! I hope you have a lot of fun and get the loot you desire today!
