End of the year stuff
So I didn't buy that much music, or watch that many movies, or read that many books for that matter this year. I think that's actually a testament to how busy this year has been. I got married, worked a lot, travelled, and had a lot of good times! I also think that I have a terrible memory for things I saw, read, or heard. But I like these end-of-the-year lists. And what are blogs for if not for talking about things you like?
Starting with:
Best Knit of 2005
My "Fiery" Bolero:
Favorite Albums that I'm positive came out in 2005
Decemberists - Picaresque
Sleater Kinney - The Woods
Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Favorite Movies I watched on DVD in 2005 (In other words, these are old)
My Life Without Me
Before Sunrise
Shaun of the Dead
Favorite TV of 2005
The Office (US version)
Lost Season One
Project Runway
Arrested Development
Scrubs
Gilmore Girls
The Books I read in 2005 that I remember liking
Little Earthquakes
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime
Harry Potter 6 (Yeah that's right! What of it?)
All I Did Was Ask (Terry Gross - local NPR "celebrity")
And for Stacy - My favorite food of 2006
Nutragrain Low Fat Eggo Waffles with Peanut Butter for Breakfast
As for resolutions - I didn't make a weight loss resolution, but I did make one to try to make it to yoga about 4 times a week. And to stop getting sinus infections. And to try to buy a house this year. Oh, and to buy a dog to go in that house. (By the way to those who asked, I am feeling better, thanks!)
This past year has been nuts - I got married people! And I moved! And I met fun folks at Rhinebeck and I really, really, really, had fun reading your blogs and emailing all of you and getting to know you.
Look for a site redesign in 2006 and more obsessive list making and more narcissitic blog entries. I may even try to brush up on my spelling and grammar so my entries are easier to read. Happy (belated) New Year!

I am completely in love with the Decemberists album right now. I actually just discovered it, thanks to NPR's All Songs Considered best of 2005 list.

You have marvelous taste, dear. And I'm totally saying that because my list would look really similar to yours. ;)
Glad to hear you are feeling better, and good luck with all your goals for 2006! Get the dog....everyone should have a dog.

The new year is a great time to start reading new blogs, because you get to see people making lists that tell you loads of things about them. I really like your blog, and I'm glad I found it.

I forgot about waffles!
now that crumpetts are gone I have been using waffles with my blueberries...
I love your list and still want to try yoga.
I am just so uncoordinated.I check out a DVD at the library and really enjoyed *watching* it but couldin't even do the most basic down dog... I think I will go to a yoga class at the club,if anything I bet it would be full of worthy blog moments.
I also would like to not be sick in 2006.I really didin't get sick much last year but I have had some sort of headahe/stomahe ache/queasy flu thing the last few days,I keep thinking I will wake up better but end up feeling the exact same way everyday.I almost think I like the typical progression of being ill opposed to this,at least I would know I was getting better.
Did I tell you because of you *and Christine* I got little earthquakes for Christmas.I have not touched it yet,because Michael has not been napping so I feel like I have zero Stacy time.I also got the book the way we eat by Dr.Katz.It is the best book I have ever read,you should read it.I am obsessed with it.It is in collaboration with the American Dietitic association,so it is good solid info,opposed to all those fad diet books.
o.k. when did I turn into spam...
sorry,I am chatty today...
