happy belated birthday to joel. i celebrated by working on my ihum paper. it's due tomorrow. that will be a relief... anyway, we need to hang out at some point because i feel bad for not doing something on your birthday. damn you for being born during midterms-and-papers week. :P love you, joelypoo.

what was that jewish word? mazel tov? i hope that's applicable right now 'cause it's all i can say.
