Getting hit by an SUV (twas true - no worries I am relatively fine - but that sucked)
Personal best thing about 2009:
Finishing my masters degree!

Best Concert:
Ok, so maybe I'm pathetically busy and wouldn't go to a concert if not for Allison so is it any surprise we concur: Lykke Li at 6th and I Synagogue. LOVE that venue and Lykke Li ROCKED.
Best Movie:
Zombieland - I don't know about you, but I like me some good ole' fashion entertainment and escapism when I go to the movies. And Zombieland delivered. It was the most enjoyable movie I've seen in a while. It delivered in terms of laughs and jumps and wholehearted entertainment. Allison's review is here.
Best TV Moment:
Jim and Pam of the Office finally get married! The hilarity climaxed when the Office cast spoof my vote for best viral video of the year.
Best Celebrity Moment:
Obvi the Kenye West debacle "No disrespect Taylor but Beyonce had the best video of all time!"
Best Fashion Trend:
The return of high-waisted, feminine dresses (yay for the influence of Mad Men amongst other things)
Worst Fashion Trend:
The return of harem pants. Think M.C. Hammer. This year, the high fashionistas were all over this trend which means we will have to suffer through baggy asses on the street in 2010.
