Happy 2008

Hey diddly ho, neglectorinos!

I fully intended to do a comprehensive review of 2007 but indicative of the entire year I failed to find the time or the inclination. So here is just a breakdown of the things that I liked and the things that sucked about the previous year.

2007 Good Things

Music: Jamie T's "Panic Prevention" was my fav. I also enjoyed The View, The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, Travis, The Bees, Amy Winehouse, The Fratellis...oh, just check out the sidebar for a more comprehensive list. Or, lookie here...last.fm.

Movies: Pan's Labyrinth and The Darjeeling Limited

Books: Check out Goodreads; and for God's sake, if you are a reader and so inclined, add me as a friend. I ain't got none. Disturbingly, I have discovered that all of Possum's friends hate me.

TeeVee: The writer's strike sucks for the writer's and all, but man, oh man, there is no end of the goodness of to be found in the UK... particularly, The Mighty Boosh! I lurv Vince Noir! I wanna be a crimpologist! "Where can't you go with crimping?"

Ed-juh-muh-cation: I took two classes this past semester! I made "A"s!!! My Lit II teacher said that nobody has ever scored as high as I did in his 20+ years of teaching! Just in case any of you needed any confirmation of my brilliance. Lord have mercy, I sure needed the reassurance. I hadn't taken a class in over a decade and I was afraid my brain was fulled-up on random sh*t like The Mighty Boosh. In all honesty, my academic success probably had more to do with my paranoid overkill than anything else. That's my advice for the year...write lots, kids. You get "A"s when your teacher gets tired of reading.

Sports: Arkansas beating LSU, the FA Cup Final, discovering MyFootballClub.co.uk. Seriously, MyFC has been a blast; I've "met" lots of cool folks and we almost have a really cool team. Up the Fleet! I can't wait to go to a game!

Boyfriend: I have the best. Most all the good stuff wouldn't be possible without him and the bad stuff would suck much worse.

The Bestest: One of my bestest friends Marisa had a baby! Congratulations, girlie! You are going to be a great mama and I can't wait to see the little darling! He's the closest thing to a nephew I may ever have!

2007 Things that Sucked

Employment: All the drama at my old job...I'm glad that's all behind me now. Sooo, I guess this should really be in the above category. Although, I do dearly miss my regular visits with all the Charismatic Rats.

Sports: By far the worst was when Jose Mourinho left Chelsea. I still can't talk about it.

The Worstest: Saying goodbye to my grandmother, E.


So there ya go, folks. 2007. I'm sure I left out lots, but that's all the looking back I'm prepared to do. It's 2008! Hope that it's the best ever for all of you.

Happy Repeal Day!

Now, excuse me while I go get drunk.

You should too! If you don't...then that means you hate America.
