My 100th Movie Watched In 2007: Wall Street

I’m a list geek, plain and simple. I love lists. I read lists. I make lists. I created a group on facebook where me and my friends make a list every week. Don’t ask me why I love lists so, it just is.
The end of the year is a […]

The Top Five Albums of 2007

After thoroughly looking at (or listening to) all the nominees I have finally narrowed down my list to a top five. It was really tough to put together actually. This is the first time that I have ever put together such a list consisting only of albums released in the actual year I’m […]

The Weekly Playlist - Probably Dead

You may have noticed that I haven’t done a weekly play list in a couple of weeks. This time it isn’t because I’m lazy or uninitiated, but rather that last.fm has completely fouled up. At least in connection with syncing with my computer. I think there was an update with last.fm or […]

The Top Five: Restaurants

Let’s face it, I love to eat. Good food, bad food, expensive food, cheap food, I love it all. Well not hot dogs, but everything else. Ok, I’m not much for sea food either, but still that’s a lot of food remaining. I’m kind of particular about how my tomatoes are fixed too, but […]

Random Shuffle - Radiohead, Juliana Hatfield, Gillian Welch

I’m put my music collection on shuffle mode and talking about the songs that come up. I’m less interested in giving a simple review of each song than I am in the personal emotions and memories these songs conjure. I prefer to talk about music as an experience […]
