June 11: Peter Dinklage (b. 1969)

[Image description: Very closeup photo of actor Peter Dinklage's face. Tousled hair, stubbly, half-smile, sorta.]

This is for Kay Olson at Gimp Parade... and for Lene Andersen at the Seated View, too. American actor Peter Dinklage is turning 39 today.

"I don't like people being cautious and tentative and choosing their words carefully around me because I'm a dwarf. There are a lot of people in a lot worse shape than me. I'm 4'5" and it's part of who I am, just not the whole part. I guess the word to call me is my name, Pete."

Well then, Happy Birthday, Pete!

  4. Hi all--I'm at a conference and haven't found a chance to do my carnival organizer duties--I'll try tonight. Watch Pipecleaner Dreams for the theme--it'll be announced there momentarily, or might already be posted as I type this.

  5. Hey Pete,
    Thanks for your candor. I am a nurse who's always trying to be "cautious" with my words and descriptions as you have mentioned here. I am enlightened by your comments and invite you to my Blog to post more information about your experiences.

    The word "shanzhai" is very popular in China. It is industry phenomenon of imitation, high quality and low price. Moreover, cell phones are the representative of them.The global financial crisis led to a significant shrinkage of assets for people. "china wholesale" demonstrate the might. most of them would like buy the cheap cell phones now .

    Through google search engine, when you put in "discount cell phones", you will find more than 15,000 pieces of related information. Cell phone china has been concerned in the world. Many international sellers can get a considerable profit by ways of wholesale cell phones from China and switch selling. So it is a very good job on cell phones wholesale in the current financial crisis.
