Another year, another 5 things you’re going to be bored to death hearing me talk about…
1. Chumped – Apparently, girls won pop-punk last year? Female-fronted bands (Chumped, Alvvays etc.) were all the rage and making everyone’s ever so unimportant best of 2014 lists (side note: Dan Ozzi’s list is the only one that matters) I, on the other hand, completely missed that trend and had no idea because I spent 2014 listening to the exact same punk and hardcore records I listened to in high school. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Chumped definitely won 2014. Their records make me nostalgic for that one Dance Hall Crashers record I played non-stop at the skate shop I worked at when I was 15.
2. Bourbon – I prefer bourbon to scotch. There, I said it. Keeping that pent up had been bothering me for a while. Bourbon tends to come in more fun looking bottles than scotch. It warms me up, is generally cheaper, and makes me feel less like the Grandpa from Gilmore Girls, and more like Chuck Ragan (probably…I assume he was a bourbon man when he drank)
3. Gilmore Girls – While I’m dancing around the subject, how awesome was Gilmore Girls? Lorelei, Rory, Sooki, Lane, Luke…They don’t come around much any more But thanks to Netflix, they’ve stolen my heart again, as well as most my monthly internet bandwidth allotment this time around. The $40 charge for bandwidth overage in the month of December was totally worth it.
4. The home-made Big Macs I made a few weeks ago – I’m hit or miss when it comes to making food (mostly miss – nobody can fuck up a bowl of spaghetti like I can) But those two all-beef patties (Ok, it was just one…I’m not made of money) special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions – on a sesame seed bun (Also left out the second bun…no human being needs that many carbs) were a solid one. I still won’t shut up about it.
5. Pretty Little Liars – 2015 will be known as ‘The Year I Spent Watching Pretty Little Liars’
