38 and Counting - It's Jake Gyllenhaal's Birthday Today




In 1980, the cost of a new house averaged $68,700.
The cost of a gallon of gas was $1.19.
The Rubik's Cube made its debut at a toy fair in London.
CNN began broadcasting on June 1.
Post-It Notes were introduced in stores on April 1.
The first fax machines and domestic camcorders were made
           available in Japan.

And one young man made his earthly debut in Los Angeles on a somewhat chilly, mostly cloudy day in December, the 19th to be exact.



Yup, there he is, the lil' rascal!

            

There he is again, little did we know what an exasperating lil' sh*t he was going to grow into, huh?  LOL!!!

No, no, no, no!!  This is a birthday post - just having some #38 birthday chuckles here.  Today, Jakers is king.  

It's his day.  And Narnia extends our heartiest best wishes, blows air kisses, bows and salutes, and celebrates this complicated, ornery, talented, reclusive, irrefutably spoiled, stubborn and devoted man.


Let's look at a few of our favorite Jake moments.
























;D








Hope it's a fun day for you, Jake.  All our best for many, happy returns.

LOLLLL!! Oh noooo, I just saw a bad word in that birthday sign. Sorry about that, Jakers!! (senile). *titter* I just now noticed it. NO, really! True story.

All in good fun. I love giving that guy the business; he deserves it.

LOL. Happy Birthday, Jakers.

LOLLLLLLLL!! I just saw the word "fossil". LOL.

Hey, I laugh because I can. I'm older than Jake and was 38 once. I know what it feels like to have #40 breathing down your neck.

;D

Antediluvian leaps to mind. *smirk* Happy Birthday, old man. Jake's looking good in that orange (shout out) tie from the Venice Film Festival in September 2005. Texas Longhorns colors are burnt orange and white. Right, Austie?

How is everyone????? Wrapping up the shopping?

This morning, I enjoyed an Italian cannoli cookie from this Italian market my sister and I found in downtown KC near the farmers market. That thing was awesome. What a little tiny hole in the wall that market was, but those were homemade cookies they had in the case and I got a few - they were kind of pricey considering one of those cannoli's was $3!!! But those weren't mass or grocers produced, so it was worth it. Incredible. They must be quite a bit of work.

Just wanted to say hey, and not to worry, we have much to post about in the near future. As only we know how.
