Soooooo…2020, huh?

This is it. It’s December. Only one more month until the year can climb right back into the dumpster fire whence it came. But before the sun sets on this shambolic year, there’s still one thing left to do. 

*clears throat*

In 2013, when we first introduced Tumblr’s Year in Review, there was no way to know we’d one day be reviewing a year that in no way, shape, or form deserves a formal assessment. Unless 2020 gave you the gift of prescience, you probably didn’t expect such a complete disaster of a year, either. Nevertheless, here we are! 

We all know what didn’t happen this year (life), but what did happen in 2020? We tried (and failed) to make sourdough bread, we loved then quickly got bored of a game we’ve waited eight years to play, we filled our time with fiction while the real world crumbled around us, and we collectively made binge watching a way of life. If nothing else, 2020 gave us time to explore new hobbies and rekindle forgotten ones. 

Just as the reality of quarantine began to set in, the world erupted in protest, responding to the killing of George Floyd and systemic issues of racial injustice.  Our community took to the streets in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and inspired voters across the United States to fight to have their voices heard. And we did it all while navigating the worst pandemic in over a century. No big deal, right?

This year’s YIR posts account for a full 365 days, from October 21, 2019 to October 20, 2020. We know the world imploded right after that window closed, and we’ll talk about that too, but that won’t be reflected in these lists (sorry, Castiel). Sit back, relax and let’s look back at what happened in 2020.

Life is short

Worry is long

Cherish happy times

Mark them by singing the song

Wine makes drunk drunker

Drug makes high higher

That love is the mountain

That beauty is the summer

As long as I AM

Forever be the climber

对酒当歌

人生几何

譬如「朝暮」📻

去日苦多

慨当以慷

忧思难忘

何以「解酒」？

唯有杜康

青青子衿

悠悠我心🎋

但为君故

「来日方长」

Personal opinion about UK

Radiantly gloomy, stereotypically stiff, joyfully incompetent, passively polite, poetically sarcastic, darkly humorous, mesmerizingly creative, and cruelly captivating.

Heavens above, lives my love.

I spent years in denial about my crush-oh Jeez “crush”, really? What are you, eighteen? Just say horny already-on Eric Clapton. But the truth is he is MY PRIEST (look at the pic in the center, it’s literally a Priest Gaze!). I can’t get enough of him and super crave his sophistication, his talent, his sexuality, his hair, his power on guitar, the way he carried himself, and even his glasses.

How could those British Invaders were all (well, not all, lots of them) both music geniuses and extremely good-looking & sexy bastards? How is this even fair? (I mean for other normal dudes who were neither. It’s VERY FAIR for the ladies. Even for some poor girl has never breathed the air of 60s and can only imagine the breeze grain. ) If I were a 60s girl, I would die for Paul no doubt; but if I were a 70/80 girl, I would not blink to beg for Eric’s mercy. Every sexy sons of bitches has his moments, I’m just happy to be here.

“As we were listening, I noticed that something down in the studio had caught George Harrison’s attention. After a moment or two he began staring bug-eyed out the control room window… Yoko had gotten out of bed and was slowly padding across the studio floor, finally coming to a stop at Harrison’s Leslie cabinet, which had a packet of McVitie’s Digestive Biscuits on top. Idly, she began opening the packet and delicately removed a single biscuit. Just as the morsel reached her mouth, Harrison could contain himself no longer. ‘THAT BITCH!’ Everyone looked aghast, but we all knew exactly who he was talking about. ‘She’s just taken one of my biscuits!’ Harrison explained. He wasn’t the least bit sheepish, either. As far as he was concerned, those biscuits were his property and no one was allowed to go near them. Lennon began shouting back at him, but there was little he could say to defend his wife (who was happily munching away in the studio), because he shared exactly the same attitude towards food.”

Here’s George and Paul giving Yoko a magnificent pair of bitchfaces. I’m sure this happened a lot.

Photos of Paul taken by Linda in Los Angeles, c. 23rd June 1968, during what was termed as their “dirty weekend”, or for you romantics, the weekend they fell in love. Aww. 

Pics: Linda McCartney.
