best of 2007 again?

a commenter (i should say, “my favouritest commenter ever”) made my list of fav songs into a handy zip file, which is like, y’know, totally rad. here’s some more of my favs, plus the rest, in a handy seeqpod (my fav new website) playlist:


SeeqPod – Playable Search

(did that work? i find it works better in ie than firefox, for some reason)

music videos are a dying art, but some mighty fine death throes in 2007

i get bug nightmares (where as my brother, as some sort of entomologist probably has wet dreams about them), and this freaked the hell out of me

and then things get complex, as they are want to do

2007 was also the year i finally took some people up on their “the wire” promise, and now i’m a megafan. buy the dvds, or download them, just watch it. you live in a city in the 21st century? then yes. and the new season, woo-eee, mcnulty’s on the sauce, omar is righteously pissed, snoop is, well, snoop. feels like history in the making.

look who’s stalking

narcissism bad!
sometimes i feel like the internet, more specifically living thru an avatar on the internet, can be pretty self-indulgent (uhh duh, i run a site that’s my own stupid name!), so i think i’m gonna stop the whatever-i-feel-like-writing posts, and just stick to photo-stories. and though i should have some sort of writing outlet other than all the academic mumbo-jumbo i do in school*, i’m not feeling much like writing these days… especially about myself…

* did i mention i’m writing the book on soderbergh? literally: me and “my colleague” (aka my buddy colin) got a book deal to write the book on steven soderbergh (there’s no book out on soderbergh yet, so it technically is: the book on soderbergh). anywho, so that’s happening. in 2010.

and yeah, maybe facebook killed the blogstar. in the very least, i spend enough time on the book of faces, i don’t need a blog to eat my time as well…

narcissism good!
in slightly less self-indulgent, slightly more sharing-is-good! news, i’m linking to all the social networking/sharing sites that i use, so you can stalk me share your favourite links, photos, videos, and music with me. seriously, use these websites if you don’t already, and then add me as a contact. share baby!

favs of 2006 – tv

daily show/colbert report
how do they mantain this degree of quality night in and night out?

weeds
cliffhanger of the year! gasp!

studio 60/30 rock
imagine if aaron sorkinson and tina fey did a show on the behind the scenes of a saturday night live type show together? the ‘art vs commerce’ drama plus the hilarity? well a boy can dream, but either way, both these shows are great.

the office
we don’t have cable, so instead of anxiously awaiting thursday nights at 8 (or whenever its on), we anxiously hit refresh every 10 minutes on isohunt.com so we can download it as fast as possible.

aqua teen
is back.

veronica mars
i’ve professed my love before, and this season’s intertextual-a-thon just increased my love (big lebowski! white stripes! christopher guest!)

sopranos
all tantalizing buildup, cant wait for the real final season.

arrested development
seems like so long ago that this beloved show ended, but it was technically this year…

and what i haven’t had a chance to check out yet but hear good things: battlestar galactica, the wire, deadwood, lost
