Event though none of my predictions were too bold, I only credit myself as being correct 1/2 of the time. Not a very good score given the nature of my predictions - many about me.
As a review:
I did move out of my place in SF (+1) and was spot on for the time horizon (a few months past May) - even though I was forced out rather than voluntarily leaving. And luckily (or as an outcome of the child-like care I gave to my phone) I never broke my iPhone (0). Even though I didn't get the prediction right, that's a win in my book.
Our old curtains proved to be a piece of shit and collapsed rather quickly (+1). All was not lost though - these curtains (or drapes?) have been put to good use in my current natural-light-less room.
Ashamed, I spent almost no time golfing this past year (0) - similar to reading. A total shame.
Thankfully, Mike Huckabee saw no part in the Republican presidential ticket (0) - but I don't think the eventual VP pick was any better. It's no secret, I am not a Sarah Palin fan. While I'm fiscally conservative, believe in small government, and can appreciate traditional values, there are some things in life that just don't taste good undercooked. (She had the national political experience of a 5 year old)
Staying on politics, I do believe Mike Gravel (an undercooked egg) had the spaceship conversation with Dennis Kucinich - just in private (+0.5).
Michigan football beat Florida! So I'll credit myself as being partially correct (+0.5). And no, I don't want to talk about the 2008 season.
Rounding out the 9, I dumped my HD position as soon as I could (+1) and did end up losing some money in Vegas - only $200 on the year (+0.5).
