Hey, Look Over Here! It’s Me Distracting You From The Fact That I’m Not Really Blogging!

Today I began my Christmas vacation. It will last a whole three days! Since my normal weekend falls on Wednesday/Thursday, I decided to take today off and use it as time I could spend purchasing holiday gifts, sending out the remaining “Thank You” packages to donors (four…left…so…close) and cleaning the apartment. Guess what? I got absolutely nothing accomplished. I tried to go to Borders early this afternoon to buy two books for my mother and a DVD for my sister (Chanukah gifts that won’t be spoiled because they know better than to read my blog), but the lack of parking at Sunset/Vine frustrated me into turning around and driving home. Ilya claims there’s a huge parking structure behind Borders but I didn’t see it. I even thought I could park in the Amoeba lot and walk to Borders, but their lot was full. I hate doing anything during Christmastime. Well, except dressing up silly and going out on Christmas eve. It’s so weird and quiet in LA. On my way home I actually stopped in a comic book store just to make myself feel like there was a purpose to my leaving the apartment today. I don’t even read comic books! Then I came home and listened to records and read a large number of articles on the Internet without finding a single one worthy of a blog response. I have to leave in twenty minutes to pick up Nicci and go out to dinner. Fred 62. I was supposed to have a dinner date with Phoebe at Qdoba…but, well, we don’t call her Flakey Phoebe for nothing!

Consider today an in-between day. I have nothing to write about, but have been working on a number of feature posts that should be quite entertaining. The next week will be admittedly slow. Everyone is going on vacation or off from work and school, and nobody is stuck at work reading the Internet. 2009 is going to start off with a bang, that much I can promise you. I’m in the middle of talking to some very cool people who are going to contribute to the website, I’m working on a fucking epic post that will render the book written by the morons at DickforkMedia completely irrelevant, and there are many more surprises to be unveiled when the time is right. Yeah, 2009 will be quite a leap forward for Swan Fungus.

For now, I’m going to focus on generating my “100 Best Albums Of 2008″ list, which will be published on Friday. If you don’t want to spend the next two days casting your vote to see who wins the 1st Annual Swan Fungus Holiday Contest, just make sure you come back Friday for the Top 100 list.

Oh, which reminds me. I have officially made my mark on the world for a second time. Not only have I brought the world “boobafellatio” into the public lexicon, I’ve now helped introduce “gunt nosher” to the English language as well.

…And some stupid anonymous commenter scoffed at me when I declared that I had reached “the apex of the blog-o-sphere”. All you motherfuckers had better read my posts with the proper reverence from now on!
