Here is my list of the Best Albums of 2007. It’s the first time I’ve done a “Best ____ of ____” list, and it wasn’t as easy as I thought it’d be. I thought of it today… I whittled the list down today…. These are the albums I could think of today:

Bright Eyes – Cassadaga
Tullycraft – Every Scene Needs a Center
Au Revoir Simone – Bird of Music
New Pornagraphers – Challengers

I don’t know how I hadn’t yet heard about this, but much to my surprise, I tuned in to see Conan come back on the air and was greeted by, what is in my opinion, a really nice beard.

Upon looking for a good pic of it, I also found David Letterman’s… His didn’t fare so well.

The past two weeks have been so busy and so fun. I had a five day weekend followed by a four day weekend, and I only used two vacation days.

On the 21st, we went to Misti’s birthday party which was a lot of fun. Then I went down to Newnan for a couple of days. Then I played Guitar Hero 3 for a couple of days. On Sunday, went bowling with Kathy, Brent, Alexis, James, Eric, Kelly, and Maura, then Misti came over and we watched Blood Car… James and I got a little crazy that night and didn’t go to sleep until after 5am. Then we all got up and walked to breakfast at the Majestic. We celebrated New Year’s Eve over at a Liz and Matthew’s house. We met a lot of new people, and got to see Brian and Leah who we hadn’t seen in months.

On January 1st, Kathy and I went to what is becoming our traditional New Year’s Day lunch… Indian buffet. And then James came over again. I’m glad we got to see him so much before he heads back to Scotland.

And now I’m back at work, but at least it’s another short week.

…not really… I accidentally deleted my real first post… along with the entire mysql db it was in…

Anyhow, this is my new web site. Please leave me a comment if you find some bugs if you don’t mind
