February 22nd

On this day in 1295 BCE, Ramses II was crowned in Egypt. Today is also the aniversary of Tennessee's abolishment of slavery, two papal coronations, and the birth of artistic genius Edward Gorey. All in all, a day to celebrate. This is made all the more cheerful by the fact that I just found out (with the help of the good folks at the University of Newcastle) that I am not, in fact, tone deaf. A bad singer, yes - I still haven't mastered the Darth Vader theme - but there's nothing biologically wrong with me. That's the internet for you - despite some rough spots, it still manages to spread cheer.
'Til next time...
