It's my birthday today. It's been a pretty crazy year. I switched jobs, sort of. I'm going back to school. And I'm about a month or so away from being done with a novel. I won another EFFL championship. I won a few poker games. I ran a few 5ks. I got drunk, got no sleep, and struggled to remember what happened. And that was just this weekend. And through it all, I've lasted through another year of blogging. So thanks for reading. And happy birthday to whoever's being born (TM DramaRama).

"Today is the Day" by Yo La Tengo
i followed you ... foolishly
you were at a smoky bar, you were out til three
sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four
we were gonna wait for you all night
so i locked the door
i was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay
we were gonna talk all night, till we went away
remember how you used to say, can't stay up late
a minute later and we're older now,
i can't stay awake
i'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet
i remember that rusty car,
like it was yesterday
saw my brother driving by, the other day
i wished that i'd go out to him, but he drove away
saw my sister standing there, static and gray
then i thought about nothing, that it feels the same
another day, come and gone
don't think i can ever sing that song
little secrets we bring along
i'm taking my time, trailing behind, i thought of you
today is the day
today is the day i think of you
