The year in review
Dec. 11th, 2007 12:35 pmGo to your calendar and find the first entry for each month in 2007. Post the first line/sentence of it in your journal, and that's your "Year in Review."
January: The Monday Poll - New Year's Resolutions
February: Random quote of the day:
"Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid."
—Heinrich Heine
March: Some day this big, ugly Work Project From Hell will be over, but probably not in my lifetime.
April: Dudes, here is my tale of woe: no interdweebs all weekend long. :-(
May: I like these books by [John Maddox] Roberts, set in Ancient Rome.
June: I said to my friend this week, "I'm quitting writing." She said, "What, again?"
July: A week of bellyaches, both physical and mental. But I keep moving.
August: Oracular liberation of the day: I swore up one side and down the other that I would not be returning to Dr. Quacky McQuackenstein for my eye care after the last time.
September: One year ago today, Min moved into the house (as opposed to living in the yard or the garage).
October: Here are the movie references from yesterday's The Monday non-Poll.
November: I spent the day with my friends, Lynn and Carl, out in Pasadena yesterday.
December: You know it's time to stop messing with the crossword puzzle when you fill in all the letters of an answer by doing all the ones around it and come up with: FEATHEROFDERRINGDO
Please note: I cheated slightly. If the first entry was a repeat (i.e., yet another Monday Poll or quote of the day) I skipped forward to the next day. I must say, this was a depressingly accurate sketch of the year, though not all the entries were depressing.
