2012: Year In Review, Part II
And now some 2012 lowlights, just in time to make a clean start in 2013:
-- Failing to win the Jewel Wish Big Win Big sweepstakes, despite opening truckloads of instant giveaway cards.
-- Billy Crystal's face at the Oscars. Well, I'm sure it looks like that other places, too, but the Oscars are where I noticed it.
-- Demi Lovato doing an MTV special and not spilling a single bit of dirt about working with Barney.
-- Working literally all of St. Patrick's Day weekend.
-- Nearly getting my cleaning lady deported by leaving the alarm on when I went to work on cleaning day.
-- Jennifer Love Hewitt playing the world's most boring hooker on The Client List.
-- NATO turning out to be a big fat nothing after promising us riots and civil unrest.
-- Having to play stern dad to my new neighbors and their loud, loud music.
-- Checking the fire exits for three hours straight during my showing of The Dark Knight Rises.
-- Accidentally being designated female by my insurance company.
-- The phrase "it's all about the mind-body connection."
-- Anything and everything about campaign season 2012.
-- Coyote attacks in Wrigleyville, but not one frat boy mauled.
