Rather than making 5-6 different threads about the year that is near it end I thought We'd have 1 big one....

It's fine if there are a few that you can't answer...I'm not into books,and most of the music I listen too is 10+ years old,most 20 +  Embarrassed

What is the Best,and worst of 2012 according to the members of TDMMC?

- (Best & Worst) - Song you heard in 2012?
- Your favorite new band/artist you discovered this year?
- (Best & Worst)  - Book you read this year?
- (Best & Worst) - Memorable moment
- (Best &Worst) - Movie you saw this year?
- Person that past away this year that you'd miss the most...
- Person that made a a big difference in your life this year?
- Your Biggest achievement this year?
- Your Biggest disappointment this year?
- (Best & Worst) thing you bought, acquired, received in 2012?
- Best T.V. Show you discovered this year? (can be an old show you've found on Hulu,netflix,etc)
-  *Which show had the Best and worst year? (who would you give a Golden Globe,and who would you give a Razzi because of their 2012 season)

and Finally...The Best and Worst thing that happened to you this year of 2012?

- (Best & Worst) - Song you heard in 2012?
- Your favorite new band/artist you discovered this year?

I didn't listen to much "new" music in 2012.  I think that pop music is better this year than in years past.  Normally, I get annoyed at the stuff played around the office, but this year was better.  "Skyfall" by Adele, "Some Nights" by FUN, and "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Goyte were all popular, but good.  On the other hand, there isn't an artist that sticks out that I hated this year.

Quote
- (Best & Worst)  - Book you read this year?

I really enjoyed the graphic novel "Hush".  I read and was disappointed by the relaunch of Animal Man.

Quote
- (Best & Worst) - Memorable moment

Not to be lame, but there were so many memorable moments with my daughter.  Though she was born last year, this is the year where she really developed a personality and became her own person.  One moment that sticks out is when she said "duck" when I'd hold up a rubber ducky.  I was very impressed by that.

Quote
- (Best &Worst) - Movie you saw this year?

The Dark Knight Rises blew my mind (so did Avengers).  I didn't really see any movies that were particularly bad.

Quote
- Person that past away this year that you'd miss the most...

Though technically late 2011, Christopher Hitchens dying sucked for me.  I really enjoyed his insight on many topics.

Quote
- Person that made a a big difference in your life this year?

Again, my baby.  A lot of my interests changed into things that I wanted to share with her.

Quote
- Your Biggest achievement this year?

Work-wise, I feel like I've further cemented my importance.  I really feel like I'm good at what I do and that I'm in a unique position to help my company, which is a good feeling.  I've also become a better teacher, both in educating fellow employees and clients.  It's something I used to not be able to do, because I'd become frustrated and flustered, but I've really gotten good and patient.

- Your Biggest disappointment this year?



Quote
- (Best & Worst) thing you bought, acquired, received in 2012?

Best: Clothes.  I'm telling you -- get clothes that fit you correctly, even if they cost more.  You'll look and feel better, and you'll end up wearing them more.

Worst: I can't really think of anything I bought that was no good.

Quote
- Best T.V. Show you discovered this year? (can be an old show you've found on Hulu,netflix,etc)

Homeland.

Best: The Walking Dead     Worst: Whitney, but I don't watch it.  I just caught an episode and thought it sucked.

Quote
and Finally...The Best and Worst thing that happened to you this year of 2012?

Best: Coming up with the Dolphins tailgating idea has been really, really fun.  It is a good excuse to hang out with friends and I've also ushered a new friend into watching the Dolphins.  We start with food and hanging out and by the end of the year, he's pissed off when we lose.  That's been fun.  Also, we don't normally sit around cooking, so it forces us to do interesting things with food.

Worst: My car had a lot of trouble this year, which cost a lot of money and stress.  Had I known how much it would cost and all of that, I might've just elected to get a new car.

The best show I discovered this year was 30 Rock.  I saw it airing often in syndication and finally checked it out.  I can't believe I've been ignoring it for all these years!  Of course, now that I've discovered it, it's in the final season.   Cry

What a funny, funny show.  My wife and I are addicted to it, and even our 8 year old loves it because it is so damn strange.


Another show I've enjoyed (albeit shamefully) is Arrow on the CW.  I went into this Green Arrow adaptation expecting it to be completely horrible, and then to my surprise, I discovered it's actually quite watchable.  I'm very wary of new TV shows as I feel if they're any good, they'll be canceled right away, so I don't want to invest my time and viewership.  However, it looks like Arrow isn't going anywhere any time soon.

I also like 30 Rock, but I've found this to be true with myself about Parks & Rec.  I always kinda saw it on, but didn't really sit to watch it.  Now, I've seen a few episodes and really find it enjoyable.

Parks and Rec is great, too.  Ron Swanson is my personal deity.
