I hereby declare (again--see some earlier blog for something similar to this sentence [minus the parentheses, of course]) that Ben Folds kicks ass.

If there were ever any doubt in my mind about this fact, it would all be erased by the following line you can find in the little booklet that comes with the album Rockin' the Suburbs. Check it out:

"the roast beef combo's only nine ninety five (AUS) = $4.95 (US)"

I was shocked, amazed, and utterly stupefied by that small-text bit at the end. And then I promptly began to worship Ben Folds.

And now, in other news, I really wish I could make a top-ten list of movies like Eric had. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely certain that I've seen ten movies this year. Really, I probably have--perhaps something closer to twenty, actually--, I just can't remember them all. Alas, so it must be. I will, however, extol the virtues of Collateral, The Terminal, Motorcycle Diaries, Team America: World Police, and Sideways (the first two were taken directly from the list of top ten movies Eric put up and the last three were taken from the list of movies he wanted to see; yes, I do depend on Eric for my culture, which includes listing my culture).

In other news, for those who are uncertain, I am a Democrat. An angry, angry Democrat. Angry at Bush, angry at his own party, angry at pretty much everything, just as a good young Democrat should be. I appreciate the question. ^.^

Unfortunately, that is all I want to talk about my last post for now. I want to go on and sort of clarify myself, perhaps expound on a couple of grayish things, but I completely lack the initiative and motivation to do so right now.

I would now, in closing, like to wish everyone a happy new year. So... happy new year, folks! Here's to less bastardliness and more cookies! Hasta la byebye!
