I am bored, and starving, and waiting for Joey to get home. I'm also crossing fingers for shadesofbrixton's interview, but that's not helping either the boredom or the starvation, sadly. Consequently, I'm drinking wine and doing this meme, gakked from maitheas, because it is fun.

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year...

Events:
- 48 BC - Roman Civil War: Battle of Pharsalus - Julius Caesar decisively defeats Pompey at Pharsalus and Pompey flees to Egypt.
- 1483 - Opening of the Sistine Chapel
- 2005 - Space Shuttle Discovery makes successful touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base, California

Births:
- 1631 - John Dryden, English Poet Laureate (d. 1700)
- 1973 - Kevin McKidd, Scottish actor

Death:
- 1886 - Samuel Ferguson, Northern Irish poet and artist (b. 1810)

My birthday loves Rome! I was destined to fall in love with that show. Rhona Mitra was also born on the same day (yum), but I preferred putting up Kevin McKidd to keep with the Rome-ness. I don't need much to be amused.

Yum is correct. Also: wasn't she in the miniseries Spartacus? Still Rome.

Oh, was she? I've never even heard of that show. My birthday is definitely obsessed with Rome. Or the other way around.

Random comment-by Rome-loving is just fine with me. :)
