2009 Resolutions

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Congratulations, we’ve reached the end of the boring week-long “2008 in Review” blogs. Coming soon: posts you might sorta, kinda care about. But first, one last bit of year’s end housekeeping to deal with. While I’m still not a huge fan of new year resolutions, last year’s list helped me focus throughout the year, so [...]

2008 in Review: Movies

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Movies I watched in 2008, limited to theater viewing. It would be impossible for me to keep a list of everything I saw on DVD, too. There Will Be Blood 27 Dresses Cloverfield Jumper Horton Hears a Who Never Back Down Stop-Loss Kiss The Bride Iron Man Kung Fu Panda The Incredible Hulk Hancock Mamma [...]

2008 in Review: Music

Monday, December 29th, 2008

So, based on various sorting and smart playlist filters on iTunes, I can put together a list of the songs and albums I apparently listened to the most in 2008. Albums, in no particular order: Xanadu (Original Broadway Cast) In The Heights (Original Broadway Cast) Young Frankenstein (Original Broadway Cast) Dreaming Wide Awake: The Music [...]

2008 in Review: Books

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

After reading over 55 books in 2007, 61 in 2006, and 37 in 2005, I’m rather aware that this year has seen a significant drop in my reading habits. I blame the months I spent studying for the LSAT every night, the cross-country move, and the recent poverty. I expect the next three years of [...]

2008 in Review: Theatre and Television

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

In some ways, it’s a sad little list this year, but here’s a recap of the live theatre performances I attended in 2008: Mormon American Princess at San Francisco’s New Conservatory Theatre Center Xanadu on Broadway [Title of Show] on Broadway So, I didn’t get out to see a lot of live theatre this year, [...]

2008 in Review: Memorable Moments

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Much of the Year in Review stuff I’ve been working on has been fairly impersonal, I suppose. A laundry list of pop culture reflections and itemized evidence of how I’ve spent my free time. So I thought I’d try and put together a list that includes some very personal reminders of the things that happened [...]

2008 in Review: Places I’ve Been

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Less overall travel in 2008 than the last couple years, but I still got to see quite a few new places and over the course of the year I traveled coast-to-coast by land for the first time (San Fran to Cincinnati by car, then–two months later–Cincinnati to New York by train).

2008 in Review: Intro and Resolution Check

Friday, December 26th, 2008

As we move into the final week of 2008, I’ll be publishing a series of posts this week summarizing my year. I find that I don’t much like the “top ten” format that I used so often in my journalism days, so instead you’ll be getting comprehensive lists of things like places I’ve traveled, books [...]
