## Transcript

I'm not really looking forward to anything in 2011 but that's because I don't really look forward to anything in general. I mostly reflect on previous things. Okay, well the truth is I live without a television and have for the last 10 years. I don't go to movies. I don't receive magazines. I try not to receive mail so I'm not at all aware of popular culture or unpopular culture. And so it's kind of strange to be part of something that has had some cultural impact because I have nothing personally to add to that discussion. Yeah, I'm also not on Facebook which is probably implied by me not opening mail.

I don't mean to sound like so out of touch but I literally just discovered baseball. I know this is America's pasttime but I literally discovered it this year and started going to baseball games in Queens. So I bike over the bridge and that's part-- most of the fun of it is biking to the game than I see the last few winnings. So this is all to say that I have discovered nothing this year that's part of popular culture because I'm busy discovering things that had been invented 100 years ago. Yes, all the things I wish I had done this year were things that I planned on doing and procrastinated too much to accomplish.

So whenever I, you know, read something wonderful, I don't wish I had written it. I'm so happy that somebody else did so I could just enjoy it. So I don't feel envious of Jonathan Franzen for writing that great book. I'm so happy he did so I could read it.
