Okay ~ you've read the rest now read the best ~ the definitive list of the good stuff from the year that was 2008 ~ skidooosh!
Best films of the year ~
The jury is still out on this one since I haven't seen Milk yet or a few other contenders such as Slumdog Millionaire. But hey I liked WALLE ~ but didn't everyone?
Best Books ~
Lots of great reads this year - just going by what I read and not publishing date ...

Best in TV ~
Mad Men - OBVIOUSLY! Without a doubt ... Number ONE!
But also enjoyed The Wire, Breaking Bad, Doctor Who, Skins, Psych and
The Office was okay - but getting stale - and just recently started watching Chuck and 30 Rock which are funny at times ... Also I enjoy that silly sitcom with Neil Patrick Harris - How I met my Mother - it's silly but fun to watch ... AND the last season of Project Runway was great too ...
Best personal obsessions ~
This was not only the year I discovered the simple pleasures of the pencil,
but also the year that I discovered and fell in love with Japanese dollar stores and the many pleasures contained there with in - from the wooden toys to the strange candies to the cool erasers and notebooks to the many options in bento boxes and chopsticks! There is no end to the fun I tell you ...
