Ella: When are you going to cut your hair?
Me: Eventually.
Ella: How about for my birthday? That would be a great present!
Me: Sorry.
Ella: At least trim that goatee! It's looking scraggly.
Me: Cut your hair! Shave your goatee! You make me feel like a teenager.
Ella: Maybe if you stopped trying to look like one...

Zoey: I don't like this frickin' red crayon.

Tomorrow, I'm going to start posting my Top 100 Albums Of All Time. Actually, that's a bit of a misnomer. There are only five albums on my list that were released prior to 1970. Only four albums on my list were released in the past seven years. Apparently, once I got married and starting having children, I started tuning outAnyway, here's a breakdown by decade:
1966 - 1970: 5
1970 - 1979: 13
1980 - 1989: 44
1990 - 1999: 34
2000 - 2006: 4
Not only is my list heavily skewed towards the 80s and 90s, but twenty-one of my selections come from a two-year period, 1988-1989.
What will you find if you come back tomorrow? Plenty of hair bands, some punk, a little bit of rap, and lots of angry music.
