Today is one of those days where the difference between friends and acquaintances is so readily apparent. I am just having a bad day, my head is spinning, I wish that I was anywhere else but here, I don't really have any friends that I feel comfortable talking to and I just want to say fuck it all.
I hate these days, because I feel...

You know what makes for interesting reading at 3 in the morning?
Niobe's blog, back to front I am on page 75 of 98;
and a discourse on the Four Noble Truths.
You know what sucks?

Good news, I have an interview at a trade school in Maine on Tuesday and I get to see my 4...

Interesting reading hmmmmm.....I might have to go back and actually read some of those old blogs of mine. 
I am so different from then to know....I think. I hope. Man, I don't know.
I appreciate you reading them.
Kids are great, aren't they? Especially when they are not your own.
I have never heard of that movie. So I will have to look into it.
I look forward to whatever questions you might have.

I told my boss that I was leaving back in the middle of the month. I gave him six months notice. I anticipated he would keep it under wraps but today one of the directors of development came to me and asked me if I was leaving in front of a co-worker. I am a little pissed about it because it led to an uncomfortable...

Exactly.
Today is New Year's Day and I always have a bit of mixed relationship with it. On one hand it seems like a great ceremony, starting anew with the turn of a calendar page, but on the other hand it seems like a stupid ceremony, if I want to lose 30 lbs, or read a certain number of books, what is the difference picking a...

That is a good motto.
That is a good motto.
Sometimes I wish I could make this shit up:
I have a friend that turned 21 tonight, so we all went to the bar. While we are out another friend of mine has someone show up that she has known for ages; just to make it easy let's call her Jane. So Jane is trashed when she shows up and she does this kiss on...

I have a friend that does a best of... album every year and he puts together a CD of the best songs from the year that he has heard. I like the idea and I have been laboring at one all month, my principle problem being that I don't have the capacity to know which of the nearly 300 albums I purchased this year were...

For my own yearly lists, I always go with what I was exposed to in a calendar year, irregardless of when it was produced. If this year was the first time I had heard a Dylan song that was originally produced in 1975, I could still place it on one of my year-end lists. Admittedly this type of grouping doesn't help me with regards to evaluating the strengths of different years of music (or film or literature), but it does allow me to take note of the fact of any good entertainment I may have consumed in a given year.
As for your cover question, I'd say that you are probably in the clear as long as the covers themselves were released in 2008. Remember, Soft Cell's cover of Tainted Love is considered an eighties song even though the original was recorded in 1965.
Good luck with the coffee and books.

You can do it! I believe in you.
Some thoughts before the New Year crashes down on me.
1. Every year I say I am going to try and read 10 books by Nobel Prize Winners, it never happens, but this year I got five done. Which is more than last year and the year before that. So I will renew that resolution.
2. I have a big boat race that I want...

Thanks cutie, you too!
Wracked by insomnia I have had a chance to do a lot of incoherent thinking and I have come to the conclusion that it isn't Christmas I despise; it is the commercialism that surrounds it. I grew up in a family where Christmas was a social tradition, not a religious one. The highlights for me as a child were always that I would get to...

Happy Holidays!
Well, it isn't going to be the worst year I have ever had but it might be on the short list.

Ugh, two weeks until Christmas and then one more week of faking my way through a bullshit customer service job. This has been a good experience for me, all things being equal, but I have learned some very valuable things from it. One is that I am happier when I am doing something that has a tangible product to it. Desk jobs with projects that...

2. Likes to spend time outdoors.
3. Doesn't ask me who XTC is.
4. Isn't afraid to participate in an Oingo Boingo Dance Party.
5. Like shitty romantic comedies and doesn't say, "Pssh, that can't happen"
6. Plays or has played a table-top RPG at some...
