illustration week 2015 featured lots of illustrator chillin
went to Sleepy Hollow, NY 

went to northern california, San Francisco, Napa, big sur, and the whole Pacific Coast highway

a night that lead to an impromptu 2 person dance party to christmas music at home

bob's birthday lead to an unexpected karaoke session that was our best in a long long time.

christmas snowman suits, the literal height of the christmas cheer seen here. 

2016 is the year of the monkey.  I'm gonna be reaching for the moon in 2016 and you should too!

Here is my year in movies list on IMDB.  It started with Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and ended with Cinema Paradiso.  Started low brow finished high brow.  I also broke my previous record of 90 things watched, I watched 95 things in 2015.  That's domestication for you.  

Best movie: Ex Machina, The Master, runner up: inside out

worst movie:  chocolate (thai martial arts flick), runner up: Rounders, Star wars episode 1

best nerd movie(marvel, star wars shit): Ant Man.  also i hate that this is a catergory now cuz so much of hollywood output is nerd movies.

funniest show:  peep show, runner up: nathan for you (and south park of course)

worst show:  master of none, dare devil

awesome movies:  Django unchained, mad max, holy motors, shaun the sheep, bill cunningham new york, attack on titan (anime show), nature shows on the bbc (human planet, life), 12 years a slave

most dissapointing:  The martian, monty python and the holy grail, a very murray christmas

Surprise of the year: Ant Man, i actually liked this nerd movie

overall 2015 wasn't a very a good year for movies so a lot of the good stuff i saw is from other years.
