My Top 10 List of 2008

Ten of My Favorite Things in 2008

Even though we're still a little more than a month off from the end of the year 2008, apparently now is the time to start reminiscing on the past months, and recount our favorite things from the year. Here is my personal top ten favorites list.

1. American Idol: This is the first season of American Idol that I've watched religiously since season one, when my sweet Justin Guarini lost to that horrible Kelly Clarkson. I think I was even more impressed with this season, than I was with the first. From the very beginning, I picked David Archuleta as my favorite. I mean, come on... he sang a John Mayer song for his audition, and later on in the season, he sang a John Lennon song. I also had other secondhand favorites, such as Brooke White, Carly Smithson, and of course, everyone's favorite hippie contestant, Jason Castro.

2. Season 7 of Gilmore Girls on DVD: Last year, my husband bought me seasons 1-6 of Gilmore Girls, for my birthday. Excitingly, season seven came out before Valentine's Day of this year, and he bought it for me. Since I never watched the show in it's first run, I hadn't seen season seven (they still haven't re-run this season on ABC Family.) My husband and I watched all the seasons from every episode together, to the very end.

3. Saw V: A recent addition to my top ten list, this movie was amazing. I had never seen any of the Saw movies until the spring, when my friend, Chris, introduced me to them. After getting past the initialy gore, I became hooked. I went to see Saw V the week after it opened, and it was pretty unbelievable. It was one of the most complex Saw movies, and I couldn't believe how it ended. It's truly left me hungry for more. I am so curious!
