Melancholy news...?

After thinking it over, I have decided that Jupiter_Nova's Reviews will be on a permanent hiatus. While I do enjoy writing reviews and talking about things other than fiction writing, I think it's best that I don't have an independent review site. There was no real reason for it and if I wanted to review anything, I should do it here. Might as well, that's what I was doing for a while.

I'm sure I disappointed the three of you that actually cared (LOL), but after giving it some thought, it was time for it to come to an end.

So much for that. Oh well, onto the next thing!

P.S.: After dealing with retail and getting some much-needed rest, I will work on my end of the year best-of lists. I'll have them up before the end of the week.

Greenbacks and black vinyl

The other night, I enjoyed a concert out of town, where I ended up getting the musician's autograph. It was a major plus to an already-splendid day. But as my sister and I killed time before the show, first sitting in the city park eating gyros and later chilling on the stage at the venue, we got to talking about current personal issues. She is currently on the lookout for employment, while I am realizing some very adult things. That day, I spent all my on-hand cash to buy records and CDs. I love music and will continue to buy it, but these sprees have to come to an end. As I get older, money is becoming a high priority. I'm responsible for a lot of purchases now, even though I still live with my parents. It is a reality for a lot of people my age, having to make some serious choices. Since I have plans to pursue graduate school and I have plans to take the GRE in a few months, it is time to become my age.

I wasn't lying to myself when I realized this was going to be a tough year. All I'm glad about is that I got the last Talking Heads album on vinyl when I realized it. Guess, in a strange way, it was meant to happen this way.
