Unless I am mistaken, this will more then likely be the last post of 2007 for me. Its been a good year. Maybe I’ll do some “Top 10″ lists when I get back online on the Jan 2nd. Who knows. Hope you have a good New Years and see you in 2008.

Went with my sister, Dad, stepmom, Former Roommate, and Current Roommate of Former Roommate, to the 9:30 Club last night to see the Citizen. Show was pretty great musically, slightly marred by some college sophomore d-bags who had too much to drink/smoke and the fact that I was wearing way to many layers and sweating to death. 5th time I’ve seen the Citizen in concert.
Apparently Alan Colmes, of Fox News’ “Hannity & Colmes”, has a secret blog, “LiberalLand“. Maybe he uses it to release all the pent in anger from being Hannity’s bitch all the time. (chestbump to HuffPost)
Hit the snooze button 10 times this morning. I dont know why I enjoy sleeping in 10 minute increments but I do.
Little known fact: I invented self-Googling. Back then, it was called self-Altavistaing.
Place the states in the right locations. Got a 88.23 score on my second try. Fistbump to Molly.
Courtesy Paul Scheer, here’s a link to the adult trailer to Will Ferrell’s upcoming movie “Semi-Pro”. Looks predictably fantastic. Enjoying that Will Arnett has apparently been added to the crew that rotates in Ferrell’s movies. Interesting though that the trailer has a pretty sophisticate age verification system. Usually with these things you just have to enter a birthdate that makes you older then 18, i.e. 1/1/1979 or something like that. For this trailer though you have to enter your name, date of birth and zip code as it appears on your driver’s license or you can’t watch. I tried entering fake info but it wouldnt let me in. Interesting, never seen anything like it.
“Who is your favorite author?” Aleya Deatsch, 7, of West Des Moines asked Mr. Huckabee in one of those posing-like-a-shopping-mall-Santa moments.
Mr. Huckabee paused, then said his favorite author was Dr. Seuss.
In an interview afterward with the news media, Aleya said she was somewhat surprised. She thought the candidate would be reading at a higher level.
“My favorite author is C. S. Lewis,” she said.

I love xkcd.
Via D. Ross, “Tigers maul tourist to death as he tries to take photo through zoo cage bars“. I am of the opionion that if you stick your arm into a tiger cage the tigers have a moral obligation to maul you. Warning, the linked article has a very graphic picture of the incident.
