Hey, I'm back from my blogging vacation with a new entry for you all. Everyone else makes some sort of year end list, whether it be books, movies or music, so I thought I'd join in the fun. I haven't seen a lot of my favorite albums of 2005 on any other year end lists, so I thought I'd share them with you. (I don't think it's a coincidence that the first two band names have exclamation points in them...) The last three have *'s by them because I just got them recently, but I think they are good enough to stay on the list.

Well, somehow, my domain name expired. I didn't get a notice from my hosting service, because apparently, my hosting package and my domain name registration are not on the same schedule by about 4 months. I am not really sure how that happened. Anyway, my email has been out all day, and the website was down for a while. It should be taken care of now. I also updated my book list. I have read several books since I last did that, and I am quickly approaching my goal of 52 books.
