Another year comes to an end. Where have I been the last couple of months? Trapped under a pile of short stories and indie releases? Perhaps figuratively, but not literally. No, instead I’ve been living sans internet connection in ye ole apartment. This means that I have not been farming like a crazy person on Farmville–because I don’t play that. No I will not help you with your lonely cow/sheep/whatever. Nor will I be your neighbor. Deal with it.

So to recap what I’ve been doing includes the start of the college basketball season. This means that you’ll most likely find me at the Pourhouse when KU plays and provided UNC is on directly after or before I’m there as well. Otherwise I’ll be in front of a television somewhere.

I’ve also been to see Artic Monkeys (with Screaming Females as the opener). Screaming Females are awesome. If you like Sonic Youth or similar bands you will definitely like them.

While I really do dig the Artic Monkeys I just didn’t love the show.  Poo on me I guess.  I left before the encore.  Sometimes that happens.  That was the last show of 2009 for me.

My running group, Run To Eat met in mid-December.  Instead of going to breakfast after our run we donated the money.  It was the first time I’d run in freezing temperatures.  It was 26 degrees out and it was great.

Then there was ugly sweater day at work.  It was awesome.  My room is still covered in glittered.

Apparently I got hit on in the bar that evening.  I thought he was gay, but the girls disagreed.

And then it was Christmas.  My mom came into town and it was lots of fun.  I’m all caught up on movies, we saw both Avatar & Sherlock Holmes.  I don’t have a lot of positive things to say about either one of them-sorry.  We also did lots of shopping.  This included the happiest place on Earth, Ikea, Uniqlo, and the Levi store.  I got a kick ass pair of boots:

and a new coat, as well as a scarf.  I’m slowly preparing for the plan adventures for 2010.

That’s right.  I’m going to have adventures.  I’m going to Minnesota in January to go snow-shoeing and hang out with Mr. Kaleb.  Then in February I’m headed to Idaho for a little snowboarding.  According to a member of the NYC Chapter of the Baldwin Elementary Alumni Association that makes me a knuckle-dragger, but I’m okay with that.

What this year end round up will not include is lists.  Mainly because I openly mocked someone earlier this fall for the list making.  So no top ten concerts of this year, no top ten favorite books, not going to do it.  Did I think about it?  Heck yes.  If you ask me I can tell you the number ones.  In conclusion this year was much better than last, but next year will be even better.
