It was The Summer That Never Was. Yeah, the season blinked away, just like that. Not that it’s gonna be any different when it stops raining; it’ll be hot, as usual. Messed-up weather aside, I’ve been busy. So here’s a quick enumerated recap of Summer ’09 and the last few days.
1. No endless summer nights, just summer rain (or rain in the summertime). Okay, the song references are relevant. But it’s been pretty quiet, not at all like summers past, when I felt like I’m on vacation. I look at blog entries from 2005-08, and things were quite different. Oh well. Times change, and I’ve changed.
2. Finally finished Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series, and related mini-series.
3. Became a substitute tutor at home, for a week.
4. Fell in love with How I Met Your Mother. I now adore the five main characters. Guest appearances by Bryan Cranston, Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, James Van Der Beek, Britney Spears, Morena Baccarin and Enrique Iglesias were a plus.
5. Am rereading my old Legion of Superheroes comic books, thanks to Legion of 3 Worlds.
6. Discovered songs, old and new, that appeal to me: Fifteen (Taylor Swift), Daysleeper (REM), Please Don’t Stop the Rain (James Morrison), Turn the Radio Up (Eric Carmen), F*** You (Lily Allen), Good Monsters (Jars of Clay), Thinking of You (Katy Perry), Lovers are Losing (Keane), Use Somebody (Kings of Leon), The Park (Feist), etc.
7. Worried about health matters, mine and a family member’s.
8. Was among people invited to a roundtable phone interview with someone from True Blood.
9. Watched the return of Conan O’Brien. Glad that he’s back. It’s good that Andy Richter’s working with him again, but his laughter during Conan’s monologue is almost as intrusive and grating as Kevin Eubanks’ during Jay Leno’s opening jokes.
10. Am finishing stuff derailed by unexpected events. Hope to work on a new project soon.
