First of all, I’d like to apologize for not having my demo reel up yet. I’m at home for the holidays right now, and whenever I have had the time to work on it, it’s been either too noisy to record or other family members have been sleeping. So, it’s not ready yet, tragically. But it will be soon! Anyway, here’s my super-condensed 2013 year in review. If I’d had more time to prepare, I’d have written something more comprehensive, but that’s life for you.
- Once again, everyone expecting the world to end, society to collapse, or disco to return to the mainstream have been proven wrong.
- On the downside, we now have only one year left for the invention of self-tying shoes and hoverboards that we were promised in Back to the Future 2.
- Netflix has started a campaign of kicking the television industry in the pants, and it is awesome.
- A low of stuff went on in the music world, but the only development I care about is KT Tunstall’s Invisible Empire, because it was beautiful and nearly made me cry.
- Lots of great movies came out. Well, I thought they were great, anyway. Other moviegoers might think otherwise, but there’s a reason why I’m a happier person than they are.
- In the video game world, Microsoft committed PR seppuku, and Sony’s been cheerfully cashing in on Microsoft’s pieces of metaphorical pie. Nintendo, meanwhile, has entered a new state of not-giving-a-damn Nirvana, and is doing very well for itself.
- Much new Internet memes. So funny. Wow.
- I got back together with my lovely girlfriend, have actually become surprisingly good at self-taught drawing, and got an A on my thesis on cultural integration in the 19th century Congo. So I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice.
