2007
Funny how that time thing-y likes to wander off, huh? A while since my last real entry. Well, happy belated New Year all three of you who still bother keeping up with the RSS. Why don’t we take a few moments and catch up with the world?
I’ve been busy, internets. Like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve been trying to renovate the house that Kim and I own in Athens in preparation for selling it. I spend a least one day of the weekend in Athens doing various things, and I’ll be doing that for at least three or four more weeks to get it ready for sale. I will write more about this process in an upcoming post. This is in addition to various smaller projects at our current house, which is already on the market. My new year’s resolution: To own one house and be out of the landlord business by the end of 2007.
Perhaps we should cover a couple of things that I missed in my absence.
There was an election. I voted Democrat for the first time in my life. But I live in Georgia, so it didn’t matter. Still, it was nice to see most of the rest of the country thinking straight. Nothing personal fellow Georgians, but fool me six hundred and twenty four times, shame on…no, just shoot yourself in the head.
But of course, following this election, the Democrats went right back to being the sniveling wimps they always are, and somehow we’re going to send MORE troups to Iraq. Way to capture that zeitgeist, you fucking morons.
Over on her blog, Melanie dropped a bombshell of a revelation about herself. It appears that she likes the new Evanescence CD. You have to admire her for her courage. I mean,to admit such a thing in a public forum takes guts. Although to be honest, there was a time when I was quite fond of The Open Door as well. Right up until I listened to it. I actually listened to it three times, just to make sure I wasn’t making an ill-considered judgment based on the first listen. But no, it’s truly awful (okay, it’s not as bad as The Killer’s new disc, Sam’s Town, which is inexcusably bad). There are a couple of vaguely listenable songs, I guess. But I like to think that album should have been titled The Great Misunderstanding. As in, Amy Lee, you have a great misunderstanding about who was the songwriter in your band. His name was Ben Moody. (I kid the Melanie…)
Oh, and I guess there’s that other big thing coming up this year (and before you ask, no, it’s not a baby). Here’s a little taste:
More on this little structure real soon now. Peace.
