Your Best of 2007

This was a hell of a lot more work than I imagined it to be, but now that I'm done, it was totally worth it. In reviewing your year of blogs, I returned to posts that I loved and discovered others I'd somehow missed the first time around.

There was no set-in-stone system used in the selection process. Some were chosen for the writing, some were chosen for subject matter, some were chosen for the humour, and some were a combination of the three. Agree? Disagree? I’d love to hear about it. If you want to suggest an alternate entry of your own choosing, let me know and I’ll add it to my list.

Thanks for making 2007 an interesting year.

Cheers to you, Mrs. Robinson.

Excellent list. I'm glad I made the cut.

But then, I'm sleeping with the organizer...

Dave, what is your favourite post from Touch You Last in 2007?
Dave said…
I think my single favourite was Change in My Pocket Going Jingalingaling, but subject-wise I had the most fun writing about our All Sorts of Sport league. Good blog fodder, that.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
