Feeling Lucky
by Scott Hardie on March 17, 2009
Yesterday was my 13th anniversary of dating Kelly. We've been through many ups and downs together, and those downs have to do with why we're not married yet, but I love her as much now as I ever have. Here are 13 things that have been a part my life for less time than we've been dating:
- The Internet.
- My cousin Vanessa, who's now in middle school.
- Paying taxes.
- Manhood. (Get your mind out of the gutter!)
- A high school diploma.
- JonBenet Ramsey, Theodore Kaczynski, Dolly the sheep, and other news figures of 1996.
- Having a brother.
- Voting.
- Sony PlayStation.
- Not living under my parents' roof.
- Chinese buffets.
- Every friend I have, except Lori.
- Knowing what love is.

I really like this list! Certainly puts things in perspective. It definitely is a heartwarming thought that you've been in love with Kelly longer than with Chinese buffets. Is Vanessa the little one we met in Pittsburgh in 2000? (Zippy disk!)

Some of my Oscar contest predictions are solely based on my odds of "winning" the contest. I'm curious to find out if what film I really think will win in certain categories comes out on top.

I've been enjoying "Meddle" and "Remedy" by Little Boots, two great electropop songs with catchy hooks, perfect for summer. But I didn't really take her seriously as an artist until I heard "Stuck on Repeat." It's pop music on acid, like Kylie Minogue produced by Captain Beefheart, and the unlikeliest hit song of the year. Go »Operation Chillax
Today begins a week-long vacation from work, my first break since GooCon last October. Well, not quite begins, since I still have more work to do tomorrow. But then I'm free! Go »
