I was going to do a year in review but that seems like a lot of work and I am the balls at keeping records and this poppycock isn't going to eat itself. Similarly, I was going to perform the Airing of Grievances, because as Trish points out, no one is listening at this time of year anyways. I blame the poppycock and the general post-holiday air of bonhomie for the smallness of my pile of grievances. Which, below.
Starbucks, I am aggrieved with you for your 'Less Napkins, Less Waste' slogan. Fewer napkins, damn you. Fewer napkins, less waste, and your parallelism can suck it.
GRRRRRRRRRRRMartin, I am aggrieved with you for greenlighting the Song of Ice and Fire HBO series while the series dangles like an unfinished. Write me my fifth book, for pity's sake.
Bookbloggonets, I am aggrieved with you for growing so quickly. I just bought you new pants and already your ankles are showing. You are big and bad and beautiful, and I miss the days when I knew who all your friends were.
Forward face. My new years reading resolution is (you may recall) to read outside my comfort zone and Read It Well. My non-reading res is to stop saying 'like' all the damn time*, because that more than anything else is what makes my generation sound like a pack of fools.
Happy 2011, y'alls. Feel free to spend the rest of today saying things like This is the best book I've read all year, or This is the flattest piece of toast I've eaten all year. The possibilities are endless.
