2010 Year In Review

I woke up today and stretched out my old bones with the familiar snaps and creaks that go along with it. In an effort to shed some of my crotchety demeanor, I'm writing a list of happy thoughts from 2010. In no particular order...

1. My nephew acknowledging and utilizing the term "Pew Pew" as the official sound of laser blasts
2. Accidentally Twittering with Michelle Rodriguez about The People Under the Stairs
3. Creating a vampire Batman costume and then discovering how it would beat me down like a high school bully
4. Movies with friends at midnight
5. Scoring an entire collection of The Tick action figures for 24 bucks
6. Friends making SDCC a little less stressful and a lot more fun
7. Seeing how retarded 2 people can get while just shopping
8. Asking Jude Law and Forest Whitaker whose Kung Fu is more powerful
9. Talking to Kenneth Branagh about Thor
