And he felt himself floating up through snow

I try to maintain a reasonably professional and positive attitude on this blog but I'm going to make one acception today because I have something important to say:

This year sucks.

There, I said it.

I don't like much about 2008.

I've been allowed one day of pessimism and I'm going to use it.

Things that suck: fevers, body aches, throat infections, laryngitis, tonsillitis, pink eye, HSBC Hong Kong's "English" customer service, Trimurti's samosas, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and searching for a new roommate.

Things that don't suck: pirate eye patches and this song:

[mp3] Andrew Bird - The Giant of Illinois

(At least I ended on a positive note.)

Um, what exactly is wrong with "Hit Me With Your Best Shot?
Fire away...

What's wrong is that I think my neighbour is new or got a bass for Christmas. He or she likes to practice bad songs into the wee hours of the night. Over and over again...

You might want to keep that quiet during your roommate search...

I can only hear it from my room, so whoever my future roommate won't have to worry.

You may not like Year 2008 but you may like Year of Mouse right? *finger-crossed*

Mice are OK but everyone knows monkies are the best!
