December 23: hold my (relatively) newborn nephew while he falls asleep, feel like maybe having kids wouldn't be so bad someday, maybe
December 24-25: celebrate the Pagan feast that is now erroneously celebrated as the birthday of jesus (thanks dan brown, re:da vinci code)
December 26-27: go to Herzog show with Joe Vecchio (linked to left). He tells me that Ryan J from the chapbook is "assuming size" is a member of the band Delay. He tells me my blog post from december 19 sucks. Drunk, etc.
December 28: Meet Jordan Castro and Brittany Wallace (each linked to the left) for the first time. Also my first time meeting people "IRL" that I met on the internet (minus one earlier fiasco I had involving an online dating site). We go to Rockne's. Jordan ate a chicken sandwich "smothered" in onions and shrooms, along with a huge and healthy-looking salad. I had a chicken quesadilla and a beer. Brittany had tomoto soap and beer. We all also had water. We then went to her house to drink beer and smoke k2 and talk about random things statically/dynamically then played the game Catchphrase. Go home and hold nephew in my arms.
December 29: Vague nothingness.
December 30: Return flight to nyc. Arrive at LGA around 330. Wait for checked luggage until 415. Wait in several hundred person line for cab until 530. Arrive home at 615. Roads not very plowed at all in my neighborhood (Bed-Stuy). Finally almost get all my work done for the fall semester (last unfinished paper not due until the middle of January but I want to get it done so that it is done).
December 31: Spill raspberry vinagrette dressing on myself as I try to both eat a salad and write this post at the same time before I got bed. Need to get sleep so I can celebrate the new years fully , or something tomorrow, or rather tonight and tomorrow. ugh, tomorrow is dec 31 but it already is dec 31 ugh
And I know you all have been waiting for my end of the year lists:
Top Books that I read in 2010 because they didn't come out until 2010:
1. Lee Rourke-The Canal
2. Sam Pink-Frowns Need Friends Too
3. Noah Cicero-The Insurgent
4. Christopher Higss-The Complete Works of Marvin K. Mooney
5. Various Artists-Assuming Size
(I think I forgot a bunch, those were the top ones that came to mind, probabl because I read them all within the past few months)
Top Authors I learned about in 2010 because I didn't know about them previously:
1. Michel Houellbecq
2. Barry Hannah
3. I dont know I have a short memory.......
Top Music that I listened to because it came out in 2010 and it was buzzing
(see pitchfork's top albums (googe "BUZZFEED pitchfork 2010 top), but subtract kanye west and put him at a worse ranking, and move Gorillaz up a lot, also disregard most of the albums that arent above an 9.0, except for Crystal Castles and maybe a couple others)
Top Movies
1. True Grit
2. The Social Network
3. Black Swan
4. Inception
5. Whatever wins the Academy Award for best pic, as long as it wasn't one of these other great movies
Top TV Shows
Whatever, these lists are stupid.........
See you in 2011, or something.............
