2010

Happy new year! I hope 2010 was a good one for you. It was pretty good for me, and I thought I'd try put together a few thoughts. I've already covered my favourite music; I really loved the films Animal Kingdom and Fantastic Mr Fox. The best book I read was probably Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and I was constantly smitten with Cabinet magazine.
I stayed in the same flat, 'The Log Cabin', with some really great people. There were a few flatmate changes, but everyone was fantastic, and it's nice to be able to happily spend time with the people you live with. Work at the cinema was fun - the staff are great to work with.
RDU was more good stuff. I think I've developed a really good relationship with a certain section of the listenership, and I had some really good 'radio moments'. I also got my foot in the door at Radio New Zealand, which is brilliant. That, and that whole trip to Wellington, was probably my favourite weekend.
I got in to wheat pasting in a pretty big way, and probably became more creative. In spite of some mid-year worries, I think I moved forward and carried on being the kind of person I'd like to be, as well as improving in different ways.
Overall, maybe not quite a good a year as 2009, but 2010: 8/10.
