January
Vegas, now! Target, velvet jacket. Morning in St. George. Wash the car, climb a rock. Shrimp aplenty. Dance the night away, (imaginary) special bond with a denim glad vixen. Prblm.
Walk the cold streets of downtown SLC. Morphine and hula-hoops and cats and Sundance and Gordan Giricek watching American Idol.
Demolition Derby in Ogden Town. So much demolition, so many sickly sweet snacks.
February
Road trip to the Grand Canyon. Hot dogs at Home Depot, a gas station feast, sunset over the precipice, finest memoirs, obstacles, Highway 89.
The Avenues. Home Movies, Wolf Parade.
Band of Brothers at Harrison Ave. Sandwiches at the Philadelphean. The Bud comes into existence.
March
Backyard fires, helping Scott move on a rainy night, grilling on the balcony, late nights at the coffee shop, starting this blog and giving up on ever accomplishing anything productive ever again.
April
Lost at Harrison Ave, shooting guns, google chat.
May
Roadtrip to Kodachrome. Freezing the ass off, hiking while wearing standing shoes, driving a hundred miles to see the Jazz game (totally worth it).
Birthday, grilling, everyone there, watching the Jazz.
Ridiculous Purchase Adventure Day
Macbook!
June
Driving around in the sun with Joy, Café Rio, sneaking into the drive-in, ironing.
Dancing to Dan Deacon. Mood goes south.
July
Late night debauchery, punching sand, not fishing.
Fleeing to San Francisco. Walking in the cold and loving every minute.
August
Up yours, August.
September
Shenanigans in Damian’s backyard, stormy night at Nickelcade, throwing down in the Positive Energy Vibe Zone, the best baseball game ever, lots of concerts, mood goes souther still.
October
Roadtrip to St. George. Friday Night Lights and licorice and wind and hot tubs.
November
Everyone is here. Someone old is new again.
December
Pumpkin Ale and surprises, Avenues, mood goes north, lights in Provo, Tecmo Bowl, Orangutans, dance contest, cheese platter.

Hmmm... I see you didn't care all that much for your 4th of July party on my deck. Well, I enjoyed it just the same.
ReplyDeleteMood goes north. Is that due to the orangutans or the cheese platter? Depression is easier to overcome than previously thought.
This is a fine, fine list. I am delighted to have made this list. That said, what is with all the dissing of south? It's a perfectly nice cardinal direction. Where do birds migrate in the winter, for kinder climes? Not north, my friend. Where do women have the cutest accents? Not Wisconsin, I tell you what. I'm sure there are other arenas where going south is far superior to going north, but we'll just leave it at this.
