last post of the day, i promise

I just didn't want five entries worth of concerts to be the most recent thing on the blog!

So instead I'll list seven months worth of "Person of the Month" . . . hopefully I'll get around to actually writing up the posts about each of these people, but in the meantime, here's the list! Annd I know I have a bunch of duplicates (and triplicates and quadruplicates) for the year, but what can I say, I have some pretty consistently amazing friends.

May 2008 - Troy P.
June 2008 - Briton S.
July 2008 - Briton S.
August 2008 - Scott F.
September 2008 - Christine P. and Shauna S.
October 2008 - Briton S.
November 2008 - Becky K.

Summer 2008 goes to Briton . . . and to save you the suspense, he's pretty much a lock for Person of the Year 2008 too, so everyone else has a month and a week to step it up!

it's one of those nights

Happy.
I'm always happy.
That's 'cause I'm happy to be here in New York.
Happy.
Everybody's smiling.
That's 'cause they're happy to be here in New York.
And the traffic seems to pass me by
And the cabbies yell their languages
I bet they're saying hi.
Hi.
Happy.
When I feel happy,
we all seem happy to be here in New York.
Family.
We're one big family.
Big happy family of New York.
And everybody's got a pamphlet for me
And I say I can't afford it, but they give it to me free.
And the waitresses will all become famous
And they'll lock their arms and sing
"can you blame us if we're happy?
And since we're happy,
we hope you're happy to be here in New York."

Well I'm happy
but since you're asking
I'd be more happy
if you lived here in New York.

tell all your friends

I had a dream last night -- in between the dreams about Rule B attachments, that have haunted me for the past several weeks -- that I was at some sort of bar review or CLE or some other law related class, and it was the first day of class, and the instructor wanted to do an icebreaker and asked everyone to go around the room and say their favorite Taking Back Sunday album. And everyone was like "um, what? What the hell?" but I was all excited and blurted out "Tell All Your Friends!"

I mean, really, is there any question?

I just saw that one of my friends made this her Facebook profile picture and I giggled uncontrollably.
