The year has barely started, and I’m excited for several things/events already.

The obvious ones are later in the year: Halloween 2011, new seasons of True Blood/Dexter/Walking Dead. I thought they all ended with a good bit of up-in-the-air-ness, which leaves me anticipating the upcoming series.

I’m going to be attending a stoner metal festival, RoadBurn in the Netherlands in April. Sunn_O))) is playing, and there’s a Godflesh reunion. Should be brutal.

Vincent and I are planning to attend Oktoberfest 2011. Who knows how evil THAT could turn out to be?

There’s plenty of metal. We’re going to see Immortal again in February. Hopefully I won’t get blackout drunk like last time.

Gonna be a good year.

Nothing out of this world, and I’m not the only one who has it, but I had completely forgotten about it:

Having your parents force you to clean out the boxes in the basement can lead to nice surprises like this one.

So I have to admit, all the hype is absolutely worth it. The Walking Dead is the shit, and is the greatest show on television at the moment. There, I said it.

SPOILER ALERT: I discuss some specifics in the show, so don’t read any further if you haven’t seen it.
