However Rick Ross and Ne-Yo did not need to sample “Rock The Boat” on this crap-ass half-song.
2010 As I Saw It
Movies: I Am Love was great. Joan Rivers: Piece Of Work was good, but not as good as the whole rest of the world seemed to think. Even Stanley Tucci getting gay laid didn’t make Burlesque interesting. I know I saw other movies but I’m blanking on them right now.
Music: Erykah Badu and Belle and Sebastian and Tracey Thorn and Corin Tucker all put out really good albums, and my...

That is obviously why I read a total of 13 books this year.

Things I Plan To Do During The Blizzard:
Apply for a job
Work on a freelance thing I’m doing

Watch The Cry Of The Owl, which came from Netflix the other day and which is probably nowhere near as good as the book, I’m guessing.
Visit my parents and eat a lot of cookies.
Go home.
That last one is the trickiest, because I’ll need...
