I'm going to give a list of my favorite things from 2007. Why? So I can look back in a few years and say, "Oh yeah, that's when I liked that silly thing that is now so out-of-fashion it's almost chic again."
Music:
I probably found more great new music this year than I have in the past 5 years combined. 2007 was a great year for music for me. The albums I listened to the most were:
Jackdaw4 - Bipolar Diversions (link to myspace page) King Midas - Sorry
Mika - Life In Cartoon Motion
The Nines - Gran Jukle's Field (link to myspace page)
Rooney - Calling The World
Hoosiers - The Trick To Life
Munchener Freiheit - XVII
Malibu - Robo-Sapiens (link to myspace page)
The Delays - You See Colours (technically this is 2006, but I found it this year.)
The Mo - Night At The Zoo (2004 release, just found this year. I'm still looking for their first album that I can't seem to find.)
I could list over 40 other albums that I enjoyed, but those are my highlights for the year.
Movies:
Not a great year for movies for me, but there were still a few that I really enjoyed.
Stardust Meet The Robinsons (missed it in the theaters, but found I really enjoyed the DVD) Ratatouille Harry Potter And The Order of the Phoenix (although we saw this on an Imax screen that was too huge and warped to comfortably watch it.) Mr. Bean's Holiday (so it won't win any awards, it was still fun. Much better than his other movie.) Hot Rod The Simpsons Movie Live Free Or Die Hard Hot Fuzz TMNT I was most disappointed with "Spiderman 3." I remember enjoying it while watching it, but the more I reflected back on it, the more I found myself disliking it.
TV:
This was our first year with a DVR so we were able to catch a lot more programs than we ever have in the past to give them a chance. The shows I found myself watching and enjoying the most this year:
Office
My Name is Earl
30 Rock
Lost Heroes Chuck Reaper Ninja Warrior Flight of the Conchords
Simpsons
Two shows I wish were given more of a chance before being yanked off the air: "Andy Barker P.I." and "Drive."
Books:
I read the last Harry Potter book. And "Twilight" -- but since I'm not, nor ever have been a teenage girl, I don't think I was the right audience for it.
