01 January 2007 : year in review: the whatever version
albums i could not have done without
- stars / heart
- the winterpills / the winterpills
- band of horses / everything all the time
- caleb engstrom / building day one
- death in vegas / the contino sessions
- the lucksmiths / where were we?
absolute best moments
- holding my big brother's newborn baby for the first time
- standing at the top of a sacred aboriginal mountain
- that night at fionn maccools when i realized i had the world in my pocket
- offering to get down on one knee for tom calma at a meeting in his office (and getting away with the joke)
best new people
- smashley, mary underpants and the rest of the au crew.
- lisa and jenny (not new, i know, but still the best people)
- cam-ron who moved to canadia
- frank charlemagne
best shows you likely missed at the irving theatre.
- e.p. hall, paleo, these united states
- lamps, megafaun, arrah and the ferns, collections of colonies of bees
- theanti, BigBigCar, them roaring twenties, brazil
- david andrews, paleo, the scourge of the sea
- mike bloom, cameron mcgill's string quartet, margot and the nuclear so and so's
worst moments
- when i realized that every girl under 25 who walked into the theater on saturday night was wearing the same outfit, and that outfit consisted of tapered jeans and ballet flats.
- realizing that indianapolis is not forever.
- i won't go into specifics, only that it was at the theater and i looked at shari, hugged my knees, and said, "oh, i'm in trouble."
breakthroughs
- realizing that indianapolis is not forever.
- that whole grad school thing.
- telling a boy i liked him, because i did, and not because he was an impossibility (and therefore safe).
- discovering that i have motivation, character and integrity.
best christmas presents
- an entire boxing GYM, with a 100 pound heavy bag
- guns, germs, and steel the miniseries on dvd
- a mural sized map of the world
that's all i got, because i'm bored with this. happy new year anyway, guys.

It's incumbent upon me to remind you that it was still 2005 when you stitched Frank together and added the lightning.
If only to engender a big-eyed explanation of why that's not precisely right.
It's gonna be a big year, kiddo, and you've got miracles to do.
Train hard.

nice list!
Um, why did they where ballet flats?
I just shivered at that description.
omigod, I soooo spelled "wear" wrong.
I am disgusted with myself.
because apparently the 80s are back?
it's SO GROSS.
