Today, December 1, 2009 marks the greatest day in my life. My sister has turned a milestone age today and I have an entire years worth of teasing to do. What could be better than that?
In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that my dear OLD sister has turned out alright. Sure, she may not be at my level, but that should in no way dissuade you from thinking she is actually a fairly decent human being. She is my movie buff mate, my audio amigo...I dare say she is my *takes deep breath* friend. There, I said it. Happy now? Her greatest achievement in life is the fact that she allows her quite cool son to take all of my old stuff. I like to think of her as my own personal Good Will.
Anyhoo, since it's her birthday I figured I'd slap up some music that she is sure to remember and is definitely going to know the reasoning behind each song and why I posted it. So, without further ado...Happiest of birthday's Al, I wish we were closer in geography so I could share it with you.
*side note:Eliot claims that Alison is, indeed, his favorite Aunt.
