That was 2010

I created a rollocking multimedia review of 2010, and then accidentally deleted it.

What I listened to in 2010. From Lastgraph. Top artists: Why?, Jay-Z, The Hood Internet.

I buried my last grandparent, became an uncle and watched 86 episodes of The Sopranos. I watched 34 films, discovered the meaning of life twice, and forgot it twice.

Films: Star Wars I, II & III, Up, Up In The Air, Sherlock Holmes, Inglourious Basterds, The Warriors, Metropolis, Inside Man, Annie Hall, A Serious Man, Kill Bill I, Kill Bill II, My Girl, In Bruges, A Complete History Of My Sexual Failures, Water Lilies, Waitress, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Superbad, The Departed, Dirty Dancing, Boyz in the Hood, Away We Go, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Eegah, The Social Network, The Insider, Cloverfield, A Single Man, Sweeney Todd, The Education of Charlie Banks, The Informant!

I went to Oxford and Bath and Minehead and West Wittering and Barnstaple and Falmouth, to BLOC and ATP Matt Groening and Truck and End of the Road. A man tricked me into thinking I’d met Matt Groening. But the man I’d really met was just an old American who had never created a globally successful television show.

Some photos I took this year. From my (newly revamped) Flickr photostream.

I signed on. I claimed housing benefit. A bureaucratic error meant that I now claim neither; David Cameron cannot cut me, I have cut myself preemptively.

In 2011 I will try and do better at making stuff. Case in point: I have managed to post this before the end of January!
