(212) Year in Review

As you've probably noticed, I'm taking it easy on the blog this week. It's been a great year but like all things, once in a while you need a little vacation. A couple of other bloggers have been busy compiling "best of gay blogs" year-end features and kindly asked me to submit a favorite post of mine from 2007 . Like anyone, picking a favorite anything -- movie, book, television show, album, song -- is next to impossible, so I ended up sending a few faves, kind of a "depending on what you're looking for" hors d'oeuvre platter. In doing so it forced me to scroll through more than 1,500 posts(!) from this year, so I thought I'd wish you a very happy new year and take a moment to share with you some of my fondest blogging moments from '07:

Favorite original essay: Blue Gremlin

Most exciting: 'Love Allergy' by Kenneth M. Walsh (Instinct magazine)

Biggest story I "broke": CBS Eye on Homophobia?

Most painful: Troy, Star of Funny Stories, Is Dead at 13

Favorite Larry story: (tie) Wean on Me and Cool for Cats

Most personal: 'Savage' Love

Better Than Summer Camp: The Night Larry Kramer Dissed Me

Favorite celebrity run-in: Roger & Me

Kenneth's heart runneth over: 40 Candles and Birthday Dinner at Moran's

My attempt at reviewing architecture (hilarity ensues): Control Issues

Most popular: Just Asking (see also: The Sizzler)
