December 31 Resolution you wish you'd stuck with. (You know, there's always next year...)I always resolve to be more creative and more physically active, and while I didn't do those things in the way I originally wanted, I was pretty creative with the knitting and I jogged instead of yoga or golf or hiking. The one thing that wasn't a resolution ( Read more... ) -

December 30 Ad. What advertisement made you think this year?
Most advertisements make me think about how gullible people are that they fall for that stuff and that our society is focused way too much on consumerism. This made me think this year. -
Best of 2009 (and my movie list for the year)
December 26 Insight or aha! moment. What was your epiphany of the year?I don't know what to say about this one. It seems that I'm always having epiphanies ("I can't stay in this town a moment longer!") and then having counter-epiphanies ("Phoenix is the only place I want to live, EVER!") so I don't think any of my a-ha moments really amounted to ( Read more... ) -
Pffft
You know what I love? My old LJ posts! I was just looking up what all I've written for TWFoPs of years past. I amuse myself a lot. -
Metal and Hopper
So I just watched Anvil: The Story of Anvil, and one of the things that really struck me in the film was a scene where they showed a bunch of paintings that the drummer, Robb Reiner, did. It sounds like he's a pretty good drummer (I confess I don't know any of Anvil's music) but he's also a fantastic painter, in my opinion. The film showed a lot of ( Read more... ) -

December 24 Learning experience. What was a lesson you learned this year that changed you?I'm not really very different now than I was a year ago so I'm not sure I learned much of substance in 2009. I did learn that the older we get, the more awkward, painful things we'll have to have to confront: death, divorce, etc. I'm sure I'll learn this more ( Read more... ) -

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.I got nothin' for this one. My online experience stayed much the same in 2009 since my operating system is so old that nothing new will work on it. I would dearly love to be able to 'watch instantly ( Read more... ) -

December 22 Startup. What's a business that you found this year that you love? Who thought it up? What makes it special?I mentioned in an earlier Best of 2009 post that I spent all my mad money at Southwest Airlines this year, so although it's hardly a startup, that is a business I used for the first time this year and I'm something of a convert.

TWFoP Recap
Hey, so Saturday was The Winter Festival of Pie, the only holiday of the year completely invented by me! This year was the year of people showing up early and then leaving. But there was a big crowd at the beginning of the night. I will attempt to recall who all was there: Brien, Kristi, their two friends Gerald and a woman whose name I forget, _iain ( Read more... ) -

December 21 Project. What did you start this year that you're proud of?Can the whole jogging thing be called a project? If so, it's that. I think you all know how amazing I think it is that I've gotten into running. If you don't want to consider that a project, I could go with some of the knitting I did this year. I started this fancy colorwork ( Read more... )
