It’s the new year, time to reflect on the old year.
I express myself best in lists, so here are some of my favorite things of 2003 (in alphabetical–ie, no particular–order), followed by some other statistically interesting tidbits.
best music of 2003:
* Cloud Cult, They Live on the Sun
* Fluke, Puppy
* Her Space Holliday, Young Machines (although it mostly just renewed my vigor for their old album, Manic Expressive.)
* Junior Senior, d-d-don’t don’t stop the beat
* Radiohead, Hail to the Thief
* Ulrich Schnauss, A Strangely Isolated Place
* Tosca, Dehli9
Favorite books I read in 2003:
* Blood Music, Greg Bear
* Jennifer Government, Max Berry
* Robota, Doug Chiang & Orson Scott Card
Number of books I read (completely) in 2003: 18
Greatest accomplishment in 2003: Finished NaNoWriMo. (50,000 words in one month)
Thing that upsets me the most that I didn’t do in 2003: Finish the novel I started for NaNoWriMo.
Number of pictures I took on my cameraphone in 2003: (approximately) 100
Number of days in 2003 I owned my cameraphone: 4
OK, so this wasn’t quite as all-inclusive as I’d originally planned. Happy New Year everyone!!!
I didn’t finish the 50bookchallenge on Livejournal, but I came very close. I think I finished 47 or 48 complete books in 2003. Some of those, like Anna Karenina should count as more than 1 book. And then there are the books I started and didn’t finish. I got 200 pages into Cryptonomicon and haven’t finished that one yet.
Way to take 100 pics in four days! I’m impressed. I can’t wait to post some of mine on textamerica. I’ll send you the link when it is done.
happy new year!!
Happy New Year, grid!
the Crypto-nomicon is 13 stories is search of an editor. Its good, just 700 pages too long.
