2009 in Review

Online, there was less blogging but more other stuff. Out in the real world, things were kind of mixed this year. We escaped from Crazy Neighbor Land, which was obviously very necessary but entirely bittersweet. Job frustration has started creeping from my peripheral vision into the center of things, but I have no idea what to do with that turn of events. Anyway, perhaps as a coping strategy, I’m going to continue my new tradition of recapping the year in list form, since I like how that turned out last year.

Miles bicycled: 840.85

Minutes of tennis played: 11,370 (that’s 189.5 hours!)

Movies seen in the theater:
Watchmen
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Star Trek
Terminator Salvation
District 9

New country seen:
Scotland, aye!

Hopes for 2009 that came true:
The house sold
Gilbert Arenas is playing basketball
Halo 3 kill/death ratio isn’t too bad

Hopes for 2010:
Health for people I care about
A clearer view of what happens next for me job-wise
Achieving a 3.5 NTRP rating

Something we all still need:
World peace!

Happy new year to everyone.
