R.I.P. 2009

And another year draws to a close. Man, this one has gone SUPER fast!

I was going to do a big list of my fav things of the year, like music and movies. But then I realised that I've actually only bought 1 CD from 2009 - that being The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga (which is pretty darn brilliant, in case you were wondering). Of course, there are a few albums that I plan on picking up over summer, like Third Eye Blind's Ursa Major (seriously, they finally put out a new album after 6 years of nothing, and I take this long to buy it?) and Sarah Blasko's As Day Follows Night, but this year my music purchasing has really been dominated by reissues or just plain old albums. Quite a lot of 2008 albums too, I must admit.

And as for movies, this is what I have seen:

Against the Dark
Confessions of a Shopaholic
I Love You, Man
Star Trek
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Bride Wars
Watchmen
Inglourious Basterds
The Proposal
The Hangover

Pretty crap list, right? Especially Bride Wars. Dear gawd, that was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Anne Hathaway is great and all, but I would actually willingly watch Revenge of the Fallen again instead of that. And just to be more exact, only 3 of those movies I actually went to the cinema to see. Now that is lame.

So anyways, instead of boring you with that stuff, I figure I would bore you with my New Year's resolutions for 2010:

1. Play more guitar
2. Get better at playing guitar
3. Go to at least 2 kick-ass concerts
4. Watch better movies
5. Give these cats I am currently babysitting a lot more cuddles. I realise this is short-term, but they need lots of love. And they like me WAY more than they like their crappy owners. But that might have something to do with me treating them nice.
6. Have a more successful trip down the road to feed the goosies - one that doesn't result in a Mother goose hissing at me and getting all angry
7. Better manage my time for annual Transformers watching; don't want a repeat of this year's having to quickly watch the last 30 episodes in the last 4 days of the year
8. Better still, I am endeavouring to watch every episode of my newly acquired (and by newly acquired, I mean I went and bought it in the middle of writing this blog. Thank you, Mr. True Rewards and 10 years old cd store vouchers) Complete Japan Collection box set before my birthday. I would consider my time on Earth a complete failure if I were to turn 30 and know that there were still episodes of The Transformers out there that I hadn't seen - even if they are poorly translated and completely ridiculous
9. Maybe think about this caffeine addiction. Maybe
10. Recording...

Well that is enough boring from me for 2009. Happy New Year to you all. Except you - yeah you with the Panic at the Disco t-shirt. You are a moron.
