I just finished reading about the top 10 highest grossing movies of the year on Yahoo. The strange part is that I feel like I couldn't name 10 movies that came out this past year if I tried. Although all of the names of the movies were familiar, my memory simply doesn't have the stuff to generate even half of that list.
Now it's easy to mark me down for lack of interest in the subject on movies. I haven't been to the movies since Bruno....when was that, May? But even in areas where I have a high degree of professed
interesting, I can't keep things straight anymore. I can barely remember who pitched in the bullpen for the Sox this year, and when asked point blank if we had traded Buchholz during the season, I couldn't remember for the life of me.
I just get anxious that my life is so transient. I live day after day but none of it seems to make any lasting impression. I can't tell you, truthfully, if I'm doing subjectively better or worse than I was this time last year, or this time 6 months ago, or even this time last month. What did I do for thanksgiving again?


I have to think that a big part of it is because you've been living in one place for too long. I found a place in 2006 for $587/month - and I knew people who had cheaper rent than I.
