Last week, many of my favorite media outlets put forth lists of noteworthy events and random happenings of 2008. I do not want to be left out. I am aware that I am behind in bringing to you my countdown, 6 days into 2009, but I am sure you can deal with it. Especially considering the things that I plan to commemorate here (in no particular order) are likely to mean very little to people who are not me.
With that in mind, please enjoy The best of '08:
-First (just because it so obviously would be on any list of good things in '08) Obama wins election.
-Celebrity gossip blogs and the celebrities who make them possible. Evil Beet and Mollygood especially, were the best daily defense against death by boredom at work.
-Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Saudi Arabia episode. It sounds a bit trite, but I was amazed at how my perspective on this enigmatic place could be so greatly improved by an hour long travel show.
-Pineapple Express. And seeing it in the theater 7 times.
-Adele's debut album, 19.
-Robert Pattinson.
-I got a new and exciting haircut, which I have now completely abandoned.
-The Italian at Buca di Beppo/Japanese at Fuji Steakhouse followed by trips to Northside Saturday combo.
-Seeing Rent on Broadway, in my most adored New York City, with two of my very best friends, before it closed its doors forever, on my birthday.
-Laughing. Which I did a lot of this year, thanks to many of the items above and the people involved in them.
And just for good measure....
-New Year's Eve 2009, which I believe to be the best one yet!

I am delighted that I was in at least some way associated with 6 of the above "Best Ofs"... I can only hope that in 2009 that number will double.
