We've already told you what's on our bucket list and detailed Harold Camping's (twice failed) prophesies of the rapture, but we'd also like to take a second to make our culture-related wish list for the next year. 

Seriously. You and your matching mustache pillows, letterpress cards, and finger tattoos look ridiculous. 

Preferably on Roosevelt Row.

​8. The recovery and continuation of Hyperbole and a Half

Because we love Allie Brosh's webcomic and have been going through withdrawals ever since she took a break. 

We're happy to see a new gallery open on Mill Avenue, and we'd be even happier to see a few less empty spaces and a few more more reasons to walk up and down Tempe's main drag and hang out before, after (or instead) of hitting up any of the bars. 

We're talking jump rope, four square, tether ball, jacks, hop scotch, chalk art, and the favorite toys of Wired's Geek Dad. Mark our words: They're coming back. 

Haring came to Phoenix decades ago to paint a mural with South Mountain High School students on panels on the southeast corner of Central and Adams in downtown Phoenix. Haring asked that it be taken down and destroyed after a period of time (as it was meant to be an ephemeral project that couldn't be used for monetary gain). After Haring's death in 1990, rumors began that pieces of the mural were kept for preservation's sake. If you know more, we should talk. 

4. The end of Twitter

Because no one gives a shit about your instagram photo of latte art. Go outside! 

Local artists in both cities have attempted to spark mural trends in their neighborhoods, but were quickly halted by city regulations and drawn-out application processes. If we've got one year left, it should be a colorful one.  

If you don't have Time line yet, just wait until the end of the week -- and check back tomorrow for our illustrated field guide. Buckle up: Facebook's getting weirder.

Because if our first nine wishes come true, it's going to be a shame to turn to dust come December 21, 2012.
