It was the year:
- The Jersey Shore remained inexplicably and unironically popular
- Jamie received a donut maker for Christmas
- I very slowly started working out again, making me sad about the arrival of a donut maker in my house
- the iPad arrived. Many people bought them. Then, everyone I talked to who had one told me it likely wasn't worth getting for every single application I mentioned using it for were I to purchase one.
- We saw no 3rd installment of the popular Chipmunks franchise
- I was on the road a whole lot
- I spent the summer at the movies
- Scout did not attempt a jail break even once
- DC Comics celebrated its 75th Anniversary (we'll make more noise during Superman's 75th anniversary in 2013)
- We may have finally seen the last of Jon & Kate (and their 8)
- Al and Tipper Gore called it quits. So no more Al-on-Tipper PDA. Sorry, folks.
- Kanye West's Twitterfeed justified an entire form of communication
- UT Football found new and creative ways to astound and disappoint weeks after the final game was played
- A show about Zombie Apocalypse was a stunning cable hit (and was actually very watchable, too)
- Someone started working on another Planet of the Apes movie
- I broke my weekly comic shop habit (which was like quitting smoking)
- I managed to kill 5 minutes in a meeting at work making everyone learn about Mister Miracle. And that is why you don't ever ask Ryan about the characters on his shirts in a mocking tone.

* Never seen an episode
* I'm jealous
* How can you ever be sad about a donut maker.
* Wait two weeks for the iPad 2 to be announced and you'll be able to pick up a used iPad cheap!
* Well really where do you go after the first two Chipmunk movies? It would be like making a Godfather III wouldn't it?
* I didn't travel at all for work, grrr!
* I talked to Scout, he's luring you into a false sense of security.
* I didn't think they made a big enough deal about being in business for 75 years.
* That was my Christmas wish last year, thank you Santa.
* I have no comment.
* No one really cares if Kanye makes music anymore.
* So did my Montreal Canadiens.
* It was pretty damn good.
* Those, damn dirty humans
* Welcome to my world
* Is that available on YouTube?
I strongly suspect DC knew that 75 years of their convoluted publishing history was of minimal interest. But when Superman and Batman hit 75 in a couple of years... then we'll see some serious promotion (I very much recall Time magazine showing up at my folks' house with the "He's 50!" headline over Superman). I actually plan to hit the Superman Celebration that year.
