Where to begin...

Most people would say "begin at the beginning" but that's bullshit. If I did that we'd both end up bored to death and you'd never come back and read my blog again, and we don't want that.
So I say fuck it, I'm going to begin now; not at the beginning, and if you don't like it you can suck it. So there. Wait, I take it back...don't leave!
Beginning now...hmmm...I guess I'll mention a couple of my New Years resolutions...one was to actually start writing this blog that I set up over a year ago (check one thing off the list! Woo-hoo!), another is to read more...which is funny 'cause I read a lot already. In fact I think that I've started off the New Year reading less than usual, but that will change.
So on New Years day, after a long nap and once I didn't feel like I was going to barf I read Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader. Fuck I love Neil Gaiman. SO MUCH! He definitely falls into the super-ridiculously-awesome category. I can't think of any better send off for Gotham City's dark defender. Now I'm working my way through Bone; the complete series as well as reading Battle for the Cowl. I'm dying for it to be March so that I can read the new Christopher Moore novel...I can't wait...in fact, I think that I might pre-order it...just so I feel like I own it already...it's like baby steps towards actually being able to read it. I'm also reading Metamorphosis by Kafka 'cause I've never read it, and I like to balance out my reading a little bit. Make sure that there is a balance between brain candy and sustenance.
I am going to post a couple of "tops of the decade" and "tops of 2009" lists soon, because there really aren't enough of those going around right now. I'm going to need a little more time to put those together though, mainly because I'm kinda lazy and tend to second guess myself when I make "tops" lists.
