A prequel to the others, itвЂ™s larger than the others and pursues a different path, following the origin story of Holmes as a nosy 21 year old exploring the Mediterranean island of Cordona. Always a little clunky, always never quite hitting the spot, but still solidly fun, weвЂ™re up to the ninth instalment now in the form of Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One.

If 2017 is half as good to me as 2016 was, IвЂ™ll be very grateful. Now IвЂ™m sure IвЂ™m missing many awesome things about 2016, but that just proves my point. HeвЂ™s incredibly fascinating and has done many interesting things, and he was every bit as nice as I could have hoped.ДЄnd I even got to meet Alex and DarnellвЂ™s beautiful new daughter, Meredith. I also had the chance to have lunch with Chuck Sommerville, a game designer whom IвЂ™ve admired for a very long time. While I was traveling across the state, I got to visit my friends Matt, Katie, and Marc. I worked for three months doing server and other hardware installation for California DMVs. Two great friends, Gracie and Jon, got married, and I got to watch. I got to dress as a zombie later in the year as well! I attended the Sonic the Hedgehog 25th anniversary party and saw some improv such asВ Spectacles, ImprovCity, and more. I also cosplayed Fix-It Felix Jr., and a Pokemon Go trainer. I cosplayed Luke while gem cosplayed Professor Layton at San Diego Comic-Con. I went to AllisonвЂ™s awesome gaybut party and finally made it to one of BryanвЂ™s parties where I participated in some of the most stimulating conversation IвЂ™ve had in a while. I saw the B-52s and Flight of the Conchords live as well as a number of local ska bands that I see regularly. I participated in a high-altitude sleep and cognitive ability sleep study at Barcroft Station, White Mountain Research Center where I witnessedВ some of the most beautiful views of nature IвЂ™ve ever seen.

I had the three most amazing meals of my life вЂ“ two at Frame in Paris and one for EdwardвЂ™s birthday at AlexanderвЂ™s Steakhouse in Pasadena. IвЂ™d been wanting to see his stand-up for a long time, and he didnвЂ™t disappoint. I watched Sherlock Holmes and the Time Portal as well asВ Sweeney Todd, and gem surprised me with tickets to see Patton Oswalt. I took a bunch of friends to the Alpaca Hacienda for AnelaвЂ™s birthday, and we got to see feed and pet alpacas and a llama! I went to a number of photoshoots with Anela, including this Fourth of July shoot that I really enjoyed, a fairy photoshoot, cherry blossoms, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall and train tracks in LA where I also got to shoot gem! I also went to the Huntington Beach Cherry Blossom Festival! Here I am with gem, Tory, Sean, and Nicole. The Holi Festival was a colorful blast of fun.

IВ saw the Wet Silk art exhibit, met Jon Klassen at the LA Times Festival of Books, and watched an LA KISS Arena football game. I watched Anela dance a few times, includingВ Shimmy Shakedown featuring herВ and Melissa. I saw KristineвЂ™s first exhibit that she curated in LA вЂ“ Firsts, Seconds and Thirds: African American Leaders in Los Angeles During the 1960s & 70s. I attended Devin and LorenaвЂ™s 30th wedding anniversary party that includedВ a face-painted bar crawl and a 1920s speakeasy party. I saw Disneyland Paris and our hometown DisneylandвЂ™s Season of the Force. It was amazing, and I swear IвЂ™ll get to sorting photos and blogging eventually. I saw Denmark, the UK (including England and Northern Ireland), the Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, and Sweden. I traveled to Europe and saw eight countries with three of my closest friends, gem, Antonio, and Anela, and visited two great friends, Jessica and Andrew, who had recently moved to Paris. And yet IвЂ™ll be lucky if 2017 lives up to 2016. More personally, I was laid off from Toshiba in a huge reduction-in-force, and my roommate had to put our two dogs to sleep. There were a lot of celebrity deaths in 2016, and I was devastated by the presidential election. I keep hearing about how awful 2016 was and how 2017 should hopefully be better.
