“Cause all this talk of getting older, Just goes on and on”
-Don’t Play It Cool, The Thrills

It’s my last full day as a 24 year old, and quite frankly, I’m freaking out. Not necessarily in an bad, “Oh my God I’m so old” way (and no offence to those of you who are older), but in a “How do I top my last year?” Never mind the fact that I don’t even remember my birthday last year. So here’s to spending your birthday on a plane…

The good news is I have a legitimate research project for still images underway at work, so for once my daily tasks include something other than trips to the post office, the photocopier, and Starbucks. Of course, the only reason I’ve been assigned this research task is because there’s no money in the budget to hire an actual researcher. This is a better assignment than that time I had to research the current political and social climate in Nepal.

And I joined Facebook despite the big speech I gave Cassandra about never joining Facebook or MySpace. It’s clearly going to be the end of me. So add me as a friend. My real friends can be my virtual friends as well.

And the world’s tallest man just got married. He’s having a good year: first he stuck his arms down the throats of dolphins to retrieve plastic from their stomachs and now this…it’s a banner year for him.
