About 215K BIS once we do IAH-DCA, IAD-ADD-MBA-ZNZ-ADD-LLW-LIX-LLW-JNB-HKG before January 1:
71 new lines and 27 new dots on the map once it's all said and done.
New countries were Uzbekistan (amazing), Kazakhstan (sucked), Bermuda (awesome), Slovakia (okay), Switzerland (awesome), Slovenia (amazing), Macau (okay), Ukraine (awesome), Latvia (transit only), and still waiting for Ethiopia, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique.
Most enjoyable new destinations in countries already visited were the Black Hills of South Dakota, Yellowstone, Beech Mountain (NC), Gros Morne National Park (Newfoundland), The Garden Route (South Africa), and Lake Akan (Hokkaido, Japan).
Complete routing was:

Shortest Flight: JAN-MSY 161 miles following a diversion for weather.
Longest Flight: SIN-LHR 6,760 miles
Best Service: JFK-YVR, CX F
Worst Service: LGW-MSQ, B2. Admittedly this is because it was a CRJ, and the experience was salvaged by the FA who was attractive and wore some really sexy boots that were probably not compliant with many regulations.

They were both through a travel agent. I actually didn't deal with the agent, a friend of mine did. I just wired the money to his account as part of a trip to see Orangutans in Kalimantan. We were supposed to take Trigana for both flights but the first was unexpectedly canceled and so we were put on Kalstar though the Trigana flight still ended up flying that day anyway. Kalstar was definitely the better of the two.

I see you folks all had more new experiences than me this year: despite racking up 120,900 BIS miles across 48 flight segments this year (including forthcoming Christmas trip), I've managed precisely 0 new countries, 0 new airlines and only 1 new airport (Bologna).

Not a terribly exciting year, but our wedding and honeymoon were certainly two fantastic highlights.
New Countries: Argentina, Uruguay
New Airlines: Copa, Aerolinas Argentinas, Alaska Airlines (Horizon)
New Airports: PTY, EZE, FTE, REL, USH, CHS
Shortest Flight: SJC-LAX (308 mi.)
Longest Flight: IAH-EZE (5,062 mi.)
Total Number of Segments: 45
Total Number of BIS Miles: ~43,000
2013 should be far more interesting, with expected highlights including my first-ever premium longhaul flight(s) and, if all goes to plan, my first time reaching *Gold.

Whilst not completely finished (I'm currently on the first leg of my last trip of the year), I've surprised myself this year.
In only 18 segments (including the one's I'll be flying today) I've managed:
3 new types (787, MD-11, MD-90)
3 new sub-types (318, 321, 333)
1 new passport stamp (Korea)
4 new airports (ICN, OKA, HND, SFO)
2 new airlines (OZ, NH)
My first logo jet! (KLM's retro 738).
I'm pretty happy with that.
