Ludwig B. and Jane A. are, of course, immortal, but they would be (respectively) 237 and 232 years old on Sunday, December 16. They are jolly good fellows, which nobody can deny.

Hmmm… I wonder what would happen if I pied them?
Happy birthday!
Wow. I was just talking about my miniature Mr. Darcy yesterday, actually (because I finally read Pride and Prejudice properly over thanksgiving break). He is several inches high, and quite adorable. XD

Beethoven Day?
[LINUS]
Yes. As in Ludwig van Beethoven, composer.
Born 1770, died 1827. The eldest of three sons,
Ludwig’s mother was the daughter of the chief overseer
of the kitchen…
[LUCY]
Whatever… Schroeder, I just want you to know that
I’m on your side. I want to help, publicity-wise,
with Beethoven’s Birthday.
[SCHROEDER]
Thank you for your support, but I just don’t
want to see Beethoven’s birthday commercialized.
[LUCY]
Commercialized?
[SCHROEDER]
Yes. The next thing you know they’ll be selling
Beethoven sweatshirts.
[SNOOPY (wearing a Beethoven sweatshirt)]
Beethoven Day.

“Now, how do we start?”

2- It wouldn’t work. To pie Betthoven you need a musical pie, and to pie Jane Austen you need a literary pie. *vanishes*
I listened to Beethoven’s Coriolan overture today…
I like Beethoven, though some things of his are way overplayed. Für Elise, for example. (Which I can’t stand.)
But overall, you’re a spectacular fellow. Happy Birthday! ::pies::
Some for Madame Austen as well ::pies::
*Apple pies*
Oops! We got up so early I didn’t get to check the blog and so didn’t remember to tell people it was Beethoven’s birthday. But, I would have probably messed up my Bible reading and said, And the angel of Beethoven appeared to them…

Happy birthay Beethoven And Jane Austen!
I just read Emma, Jane’s favorite book. I like it too, but Pride and Predjudice is still my fave.
A funny story, I was at the Motor Vehicle Association with mom, who had some stuff to do there, and I was reading Pride and Predjudice. Some people were sitting not too far away from me and saw what I was reading and started asking me questions, when it came out that I was reading it because I wanted to, they were shocked. Geez, it’s a great book, why not? Ah well.
9~ How did it go? I didn’t hear any roar of rage and dispair, so I’m assuming it was okay…
10-Hahah, no, it really wasn’t bad…people seemed happy, so I think I did a good job. It was actually sad in a way, this was probably the last year I will be in the program. So next year I can watch the whole thing as the audience sees it, and see what I’ve been missing!
They really didn’t play any Beethoven music, sorry Schroeder, no Beethoven Christmas Carols!

Oops, I missed their birthdays
I love Jane Austen. Who couldn’t, with my name? 
I’m reading Pride and Prejudice. In fact, I think I’ll go read it right now.
I love Jane Austen! Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion are my favorites.
Welcome, Felicity!
I’ve heard Persuasion’s really good. I should read it sometime.
I love Jane Austen…The only books I’ve read are Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.
Apparently PBS is doing a showing of all of the actually good movies of her books…I saw Northanger Abbey the other night. Tres interesante…I must read it now.
