It was a good year.
I gave up pizza. We finished making an album. I went flat broke. I got a job. We both moved. We painted apartments. I finished the Bleeding Skull book. I redesigned the Bleeding Skull site. Annie finished her book. My dad gave up junk food. We made two road trips. I decided that Emack & Bolios has the best Cookies ‘N’ Cream I’ve ever tasted. We beat Rampage. I re-discovered David Goodis. I discovered Raymond Carver. We visited my aunt in Chicago. I read every issue of The Incredible Hulk until it got bad. Annie bought a couch. I bought a blues-ray player.
I also watched movies. Here are eleven I saw for the first time that made this year even better.
