How many different states did you travel to in 2008? I achieved many altered states my taking drugs and lying in a sensory deprivation chamber.
Did you lose anybody close to you in 2008? Yes, my mother-in-law
Did you miss anybody in the past year? yes
What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2008?
I’m going to assume the survey maker wants a movie from 2008.
I think Persepolis was released earlier.
I enjoyed having another dose of x-files, but I wouldn’t call that film great.
I enjoyed Dark Night, Hulk, Iron man, Pineapple Express, In Bruges, Milk, Slumdog Millionaire, Burn after reading, and zombie strippers,
and I really liked WALL-E and Be Kind Rewind. I loved the visuals in The Fall, but was a bit let down with the movie overall- not to say I didn’t like it. Frost Nixon was good. Hancock was an alright time waster. Not the best, but kinda surprising.
I was disappointed in Blindness, My Blueberry Nights, Indiana Jones, and Stoploss, although Indian Jones was still fun. I liked the gore in Diary of the dead, but thought it wasn’t Romero’s best. Zach and Miri Make A Porno was funny, but the ending just sorta dragged on and was predictable.
Get Smart sucked. Twilight sucked. Step Brothers sucked. I hear the Forrest-gumpness of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button also sucks, but I have yet to see it: it supposedly has some good shots and a good premise, but overlooks the racism of the south in the early part of the 20th century.
I still haven’t seen the Chicago 10 or Let The Right One In or Vicky Christina Barcelona or W or Funny Games or Doubt or Che or Last Chance Harvey.
I REALLY REALLY want to see Synedoche, New York!!!
I will never watch the Sex and the City movie.
Favorite? I guess if I had to choose, I would say Wall-E, but I still expect good things from Synedoche, and I think that Milk has done a lot for motivating LGBTQ activists, as well as getting a lot more people to learn about Milk himself.
What was your favorite song from 2008? Uh….i haven’t heard much new stuff. Definitely not that Lady Gaga person: she scared the shit outta me.
Did you have a favorite concert in 2008? The Kills
What was your proudest moment of 2008? When lee wrote me a really cool poem
What was your most embarrassing moment of 2008? I had a lot of embarrassing car trouble/stuck in the snow moments.
If you could go back in time to any moment of 2008 and change something? Interviews
What are your plans for 2009? Watching movies, reading, spending time with the kitty and lee, losing weight, getting a fucking job already, making more arts and crafts, staying in more and just doing things I like, instead of trying to make friends, seeing a doctor about the bump on my arm to make sure it’s not a problem, getting help with my migraines, cooking more, learning how to bake good bread, staying sane, taking a vacation to see my nephew, and go tubing down a river.
