2005: The Year in Review… for Real

January 1st, 2006

Started the year out in Atlanta and moved to Chicago, rather unexpectedly, in September.

I took a few trips: northern Alabama (parents), Denver (work), New York (work and fun), and Detroit (twice - work of course).

Five favorite CDs of the year, in no order:
Decemberists - Picaresque
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine
The National - Alligator
The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema

Five favorite movies of the year:
Serenity
Batman Begins
Kung Fu Hustle
The 40 Year Old Virgin
Howl’s Moving Castle

No booklist. I listen to a lot of new music and see some new movies but tend to be slow getting around to new books.

Note that I said “favorite,” not “best.” That’s all I can really lay a claim to.

Why did I stop blogging? I started to get very busy at work, and very lazy at home. Plus, I thought the world was saturated with bloggers. Well, nothing has changed, but ’tis the new year, so let’s give this a shot…

    Well, it’s good to have you back. Just to show that some of us kept the faith, I left you on my bloglines account. Or that could just be laziness. I’ll let you pick.

    Happy New Year, LTR.
