Where I'm at, it's not yet 2013, so just to close out a few things-
I bought two more DVD's using a gift card so, we'll call them Christmas presents, as well. I got Portlandia's Season Two. The show is great, the bonus features are nice, the packaging is well, ecologically friendly.
I also got Dead Man, the Jim Jarmusch film starring Johnny Depp. If you haven't seen it, it's a great film, up there with The Proposition and High Plains Drifter.
Also, while I'm looking forward to a few things, I'm not expecting 2013 to contain as many goodies as 2012, so I might change the blog again in the coming months. I'm not certain about that. However, media is changing, and so am I. We'll see.
What will not change, is that I still want to see a shift in Culture, away from Mass, and into Individual, and Folk, and Subcultural.
Finally, if 2012 sucked for you, I'm sorry the Mayan Apocalypse didn't pan out. If it didn't suck that badly, then I still hope that we can make our not-post-apocalyptic lives worth that would-be glorious end. (I mean, we've all got to die- but if you have to die, wouldn't it be more glorious to go out in an Apocalypse? So, if we've been denied that, then, let's hope our lives are even more glorious than dying in the end of all things.)
