Read Like It's 2009


Yesterday was all about catching up with posts from this year.

Today I’ll follow up with the best 9 posts of 2009. Like yesterday, these are in chronological order, not ranked by merit:

Door-othy We’re Not in Kansas Anymore
A debate erupts on the merits of opening car doors for female companions.

Taylor Swift: Pregnant and Confused?
I start a rumor about my nemesis, Taylor Swift, with some help from The Washington Post.

The Smell of Cheap Living
A poor choice (in hindsight) at the grocery store takes me back to a time of very cheap living. (Note: I will never ever under any circumstances buy these things again).

Peace Out
I react to the negative uproar that follows President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize win.

In Defense of Sweatpants
A Newsweek article grinds my gears on the topic of men wearing sweatpants in public.

But the Hat Came Back
A key piece of my winter wardrobe comes back into my life, years after it was stolen by a swift, crafty blonde.

All I’m Askin’ is Please, Forgive Me
Music triggers a round of neighborhood carpool nostalgia.

Creative Confusion
Making use of elementary school artwork, and my horrendous handwriting gets me in trouble.

Do It Yourself Ping Pong
You never made your own ping pong paddle? Well we did.

I do not plan retrospectives for the other years in the archives, though there is some good material in there. Solid new stuff coming soon — stay tuned.
