“A long December and there’s reason to believe that this year will be better than the last.”
– Counting Crows
In 2008, I:

- bought a house
- sold a house
- paid off my car
- said goodbye to David, at least as a co-worker/boss
- didn’t get the promotion I applied for, but…
- got a new boss
- started using an iPod Touch
- set up a home media server with one terabyte of storage
- switched to DSL and satellite TV, dumping Comcast
- bought two televisions, one LCD and one plasma (I had never paid for a television before 2008)
- watched all episodes to date of LOST, Battlestar Galactica, and Dexter (currently working on Heroes)
- bought some new music (I heart Weezer)
- bought some old music (and rediscovered the magic that is Brian Setzer)
- bought a couple DVDs (Cloverfield really kinda sucked, but Charlie Bartlett was cool)
- got a sweet Danelectro vibe pedal
- found a great used tube amp
- really got sucked into Facebook
- became an uncle for the fourth time

- played Warfish… a lot
- drank way too much caffeine, particularly in the form of Diet Cherry Vanilla Doctor Pepper
- got a coupon for a free Doctor Pepper
- found a new pizza shop
- installed Linux a couple times, OS X a bunch of times, and Windows way too many times
- played at the Art & Soul Cafe four times (I think)
- hacked two Linksys routers to enable bridge mode
How about you?
