Last year by the numbers

For some reason, I feel compelled to summarize some of what happened in MattGallettaLand in 2009 in list-format. I don’t really know why, but here goes. Enjoy.

• 56 books read, according to my LibraryThing account. Though I can think of at least one that I read but didn’t add to LT, so that number may be a little low.
• 42 gallons of beer brewed. You can find photographic evidence of many of the batches on Flickr.
• 3 poems published. One online in Asinine Poetry, and two in the print edition of Zygote in my Coffee.
• 2 fiction pieces published. One in the Catalonian Review, and one on KeepGoing.org.
• 1 poetry chapbook published. Lemons. Kinda mixed feelings about that one.
• 1 fun reading at the UAG Gallery, back in February.
• 1 insane cat adopted. What a great decision that was.

I hope that was enlightening for you all. Oh, I almost forgot:

• 22 thrilling blog posts.

Okay, now I’m done.
