The weather looks suspiciously similar to yesterday's, but I have it on good authority that this is an All New Year. That's kind of an exciting thought, isn't it?
Traditionally this is a time when people blog about their resolutions. I think resolutions are kind of like birthday candle wishes: the more you talk about them, the less likely they are to come true. However, there is one resolution I would like to make public. In just two days, I am going to return to the stoic discipline of Three on the Third.
Yes.
Another bloggy tradition for this time of year is end-of-the-year lists. I have actually compiled two of them for your amusement and mine, one for all the movies I watched in 2008, and one for all the books I read. I have also rated them in a completely subjective manner. Here is my rating system:
(1) - I hated it.
(2) - I'm not sure if I liked it.
(3) - I definitely liked it.
(4) - I loved it.
(5) - I'm sort of obsessed with it.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is better than three stars. Did someone drug you at the time? What's wrong with you girl?! Who the hell did you watch that with? It's a buddy film, you don't watch that shit alone!
I'm gonna listen to the Whale Rider soundtrack right now!
Spider, I'd respectfully submit that there is nothing wrong with Lindsey. You'll note that the number scale refers to how much she enjoyed each movie, not their relative quality. Hence, her ratings are perfectly accurate.
Wow, that seems like a lot of movies for you!!
you watched Sex in the city? Did you lose a bet or something?
really? whale rider? really? I had the misfortune to see this movie in October... I'm still trying to get back those min. of my life!
I'm glad someone likes it! you go, you!
