2108: A year in review.
Dec. 31st, 2008 05:20 pmJanuary: Tried hovershrimp for the first time. Too difficult to handle with regular chopsticks. Need to upgrade to the magnetic kind.
February: Saw Heart Holographic Reunion Tour 2108 - Valentine Extravaganza. Liked the 2998 tour better. Some jerk broke into the projector system and replaced the entire band with Rick Astley clones, but only from the neck up.
March: Did a whirlwind tour of Europa. 12 days transit there, 9 hours spent wandering around the spaceport and immediate surrounding area, 18.5 days transit back. Totally worth it. The highlight of the trip: The gift shop.
April: They shut off the gravity to my apartment building for a week due to emergency maintenance issues. Finally learned how to eat hovershrimp with non-magnetic chopsticks.
May: Strongly considered going to the Martian War protests. Settled on just signing an Internet petition instead.
June: Summer vacation! Went surfing in the Arctic. Got a nasty sunburn.
July: Went to the nuclear fireworks exhibit downtown for the 4th. Sad they banned the glittery ones due to fallout concerns. It's just not the same without that green glow.
August: Gave up on having election year polling data downloaded directly into my head; too many numbers to track. Subscribed to the "Best of Dilbert: '48-'64" braincast instead.
September: Went to a time traveler's convention but was disappointed to find that the only actual time traveler in attendance was Ron Paul.
October: Spent 3 weeks working on my Halloween costume, only to decide at the last minute that temporarily removing my own head was just going to be too much of a hassle. Went as a sheet-covered ghost instead.
November: Franklin Delano Robo-velt won! Our first ever Artificial-American president. History in the making, folks. History in the making.
December: Went to a 2000s period costume party for New Year's. Heard some variation of a "Where's your costume? / Oh, I had a wardrobe malfunction!" joke 15 times in one night. Read yearly roundup posts from 100 years ago and chuckled at how quaint and silly everything must have been back then.
