Topics I won’t cover in a review of 2007

von Armin

It seems it is that time of the year again. The time where people look back at the year and write lists. Lists of the best somethingorother of the year. The Top Five cooking oils of the year. The Top Five goals scored by Michael Owen while playing for Newcastle in the FA Cup this year. The best English goalkeepers of the year. Yes, those kind of list. Everyone is doing it. So I’m going to join in, with the list of all lists, the list of list topics I’m not going to write about.

  • 5. Web2.0SocialNetworkBlogOnlineThingymahjiggy

    Already covered in 144,987,341 (rough estimate) other blogs and other techie websites. And another 556,873 will still write, trackback and pingback about them. Boring.

  • 4. Movies/DVDs

    I’ve been to the cinema exactly 0 times this year. And the DVDs were from approx 15 years ago (yay for nostalgia!). Not much to go on there, is it? Apart from that Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is still a great movie.

  • 3. Books

    Hey, you have to show that you’re not only staring at the computer screen, so better include a list of books. I just can’t be bothered to try to remember which ones I read this year. I’m sure there’s been a Christopher Brookmyre among them somewhere. And I’m certain it was good. That’ll have to do.

  • 2. Music

    I don’t have an iPod (or any other player for that matter), therefore don’t use iTunes or any similar software. Meaning I can’t run off pointless statistics how many times I’ve listened to which songs and create a ranking from it. Thinking about it, I think I’ve only bought about 3 or 4 CDs this year. Concerts? I’ve only been to one. That was Idlewild, who also make good CDs every once in a while. I think one might have been this year.

  • 1. Holiday Destinations

    Well, that would be a bit pointless coming from me. After all I’ve only been to one this year. So I haven’t really got much to rank and compare. Call me boring if you want.

Now I’m wondering if I should have a stab at predictions for 2008 again?
