I was just thinking that I should also make note of other things that happened this year that I like or remembered or took note of - things in the news or the media. I just threw this list together while I was sitting on the couch with Eric discussing some things. Let me know if I've missed any topics that would be interesting to remember or document. I want to keep a good record.
- Obviously my favourite movie to watch this year was The Great Gatsby. You all knew that.
- The shows I liked this year are not new, but I enjoyed them -
Eric and I watched all of Prison Break together and got terribly
addicted, and I also really enjoyed New Girl
- I thought the catchiest song this year was Domino by Jessie J - I just
cannot turn that song off when it comes on, and cannot stop singing it
- I fell in love with everything Kate Spade this year. I adore her, and cannot wait until the day I am rich enough to afford one of her purses. For now I will settle for (and thoroughly enjoy) her stationary line in Chapters.
- I am also super on board with the trend of anything metallic - gold, rose gold, copper. Love it all.
On a more serious note:
- Nelson Mandela died just a few weeks ago - I did my very first biography project/presentation in elementary school on him and have always been fascinated with his life and works.
- The Boston Marathon bombings really shook me up this year. It was just such a bizarre concept to me - a completely innocent and hope filled sporting event to be the target of such a tragedy. It really confused me and made me scared for a couple of days.
- The war in Syria is just such a crazy thing for me to hear about on the news. I just can't imagine living in a place like that, and it's so sad. I literally can't even contemplate what some poor innocent people are dealing with all day every single day - over here I am completely oblivious. I am grateful for where I live though.
