Regretfully, I have been too busy to update my website lately. Here's why (in the list-happy tradition of Jeremiah):

I went to my parents' house in Philly for Thanksgiving.

I ate a lot of macaroni and cheese.

I have been watching a lot of movies.

I'm beginning to think I'm the only person who did not enjoy My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

On Sunday night, I returned to my apartment in New York, only to discover the deadbolt was spontaneously broken and I was locked out.

I was forced to pay $180 for a locksmith to let me in.

The utilities and telephone bills, no matter how often we pay them, always seem to be late!

My savings account balance is $19.

I had a job interview at Barnes and Noble.

My search continues to find another job.

I made an Amazon wishlist.

I am writing a paper on Cold War anxiety in Ron Howard's Splash (1984).

I am working on my application for graduate school.

I am reading a great book that Jen lent me called Deadly Persuasion: Why Women and Girls Must Fight the Addictive Power of Advertising.

After years of passive listening, I began to realize how good an album George Michael's Faith is.

"Rock Lobster" by The B-52s is a really neat song.

Holidays rule simply because this time of year ensures that Band-Aid's "Feed the World (Do They Know It's Christmastime?)" will receive ample radio play.

I suppose the previous few entries do not really fit in with the others in the list, but since it's my blog, I have included them anyway. Take that!

At any rate, making lists used to make me feel very organized. Now they just make me even more stressed out. Son of a beach!!!
