I have the feeling I am utterly missing the point of this exercise by not adding to the meme for days then binging all at once. This is how people fail at their new commitments! Oh well.
December 12 New food. You're now in love with Lebanese food and you didn't even know what it was in January of this year.
I finally got a chance to spend some time with a group of friends I never get to see enough, in Palm Springs no less! And I tried grits for the first time. They were ok. Pomegranate seeds = excellent. I also tried quail eggs for the first time and they were also just ok. Pan frying hot dogs is awesome though. But hot dogs really can't fail.
December 13 What's the best change you made to the place you live?
Uhh, I moved out of a terrible situation into a posh situation. Upgrade!
December 14 Rush. When did you get your best rush of the year?
Probably either when exercising or when getting buried under the minutia of one of my projects and then burrowing my way out of it.
December 15 Best packaging. Did your headphones come in a sweet case? See a bottle of tea in another country that stood off the shelves?
I don't notice these things. But I'm watching Gary Hustwit documentaries and trying to educate myself.
December 16 Tea of the year. I can taste my favorite tea right now. What's yours?
My favorite tea is coffee.
December 17 Word or phrase. A word that encapsulates your year. "2009 was _____."
Sheer fucking lunacy. Also, kind of awesome.
December 18 Shop. Online or offline, where did you spend most of your mad money this year?
I hate shopping and owning things and all of it. But I have started a closet cleanout project that has brought back many "new" outfits from junior high. I get looks but whatevs, fashion is cyclical! Even if I have to force it to be so.
December 19 Car ride. What did you see? How did it smell? Did you eat anything as you drove there? Who were you with?
I have tasted the finest hamburgers between Portland and the Tri-Cities and have seen many a tree farm.
December 20 New person. She came into your life and turned it upside down. Who is your unsung hero of 2009?
I have too many! Seriously, I would have lost my mind without Phoebe, Mendi, Nancy, Bonnie, Christina and my QAW bishes. I'm probably forgetting others.
December 21 Project. What did you start this year that you're proud of?
I produced my first film! And unlike the projects I directed myself I like this one! Saints be praised.
December 22 Startup. What's a business that you found this year that you love? Who thought it up? What makes it special?
There's a lot of great film distribution start-ups using the recent chaos of our industry to try out a lot of new ideas. But as I write this while sleep-deprived and sick their exact names are eluding me right now.
December 23 Web tool. It came into your work flow this year and now you couldn't live without it. It has simplified or improved your online experience.
Google Docs, I use it a million times a day on a million different projects. I use it so much I actually can't remember how anyone got anything done before the cloud. Just the thought of emailing documents back and forth makes me want to throw up in my mouth. I still think the Wave is kind of dumb though.
