2006 in Review

I am not a resolution-maker because I suffer from ADHD. Oh my goodness! A closer read of the article does suggest that I exhibit most symptoms! Anyways, trying to get back on track here - what has 2006 taught me ?
  • NYTimes is boring: In the beginning, I would look forward to Sunday mornings - to read NYTimes. Now I find myself classifying it under "Same old crap - recycled"
  • New Yorker is exciting: Why did I not find this earlier ? Wonderful writing.
  • Entertaining site - isketch.net
  • There are some CS folks who still use IE
  • Best two player board game - Lost Cities
  • Amex Wishlist is designed around the art of perseverance
  • Spell check has eliminated my chances at spelling-bee
  • I might forget Tamil. People only want to talk in English
  • Anthony Bourdain rocks. Advised viewing one episode a day. Too much of a good thing can kill.
  • Gaming nights - "best kept secret" for having fun
  • Daniel Craig is the best bond.
  • I love surprise birthday parties. Especially when organized by my husband.
  • Sea otters personify the epitome of carefree childhood (courtesy: visit to Georgia aquarium)
  • Vegas is great, for 3 days only.
  • I don't miss the snow. Prefer green Christmas.
  • Enjoy swimming enough to want to be born as a dolphin
  • Writing is a pleasure; whether for pleasure or research
  • Still cannot follow American football
  • My husband is crazy enough to wake up at 4am to watch a cricket match
  • As I grow older, I find it more difficult to read fiction; I hope to get through this phase soon.
Happy New Year 2007~
