Favorites of 2006...

I was bored last night so I came up with my favorites from this past year.

TV Shows of 2006:5
. Tie: The West Wing and Commander in Chief This was a hard one to decide-WW ended its run and CIC was cancelled Simply no justice in this world!
4. Project Runway By far PR is one of the best reality series on tv.
3. Nip/Tuck: By far the strangest show on tv. I am a fan of ridiculous story lines and N/T never disappoints --ever!
2. Weeds I was introduced to this show this year. Rented the first season onDVD and watched all 10 episodes in one day. It is brilliant.
1. ALIAS ALIAS finished its 5 year run this year and I felt as if a part of meended to. I doubt nothing will ever compare to the impact this show had onme. RIP ALIAS!

Movies of 2006:
5. The Sentinel I just love Michael Douglas
4. Tie: Thank You for Smoking and An Inconvenient Truth If you haven't seen these-shame on you! They both detail the badthings we are doing to our bodies and our planet. It details just howsneaky people really are. Al Gore, the former President of theUnited States, freakin' rocks!!
3. Casino Royale This is my favorite of the franchise. It was not campy or silly butdark and serious. Daniel Craig was brilliant. This was the first bondbook that Ian Fleming wrote and I am so pleased that they arestarting from Bond's beginning as 007. Can't wait for the next one.
2. Transamerica This movie was not what I thought it would be. It opened my eyes tothe fear, frustration, and diligence that transsexuals deal with on a dailybasis. Felicity Huffman did a unbelievable job and shedeserved every accolade she got!
1. The Devil Wears Prada I was not an Anne Hathaway fan until I saw Brokeback Mountain, guess I am still not a fan though.. She played Andrea very well and believable but whinny-I just wanted to slap her sometimes. But you don't see the movie for her. Meryl Streep made this movie the blockbuster it was. She gave me chills and I found myself just mesmerized by her performance of Miranda Priestly. That's All.

Music of 2006:I really was not impressed with what I heard this year. The only thingthat I really got into was the Scissor Sisters and that is about it.

Favorite things of 2006:
5. My DART pass I officially made it a year without a car in Dallas. Thanks to DARTand the places it takes me. I am looking forward to another year withoutthe burden of a vehicle!4. Urban Market The downtown grocery/bar/cafe. There isn't anything like living above a place like this.
3. MySpace I resisted MS for a very long time. Then, while at home sick, Ithought it would not hurt to check this out. The rest is history.Although I have considered taking my site down, I just can't do it. It is creative, personal, and sometimes crazy. Love it.
2. Diet Coke I always drank Coke or Dr. Pepper. However due to my ever increasing heartburn and acid reflux, the sugar content was just too much for me to handle. Devastated, I tuned to Diet Coke and not only is tasty, it contains no high fructose corn syrup--which makes me and my digestivesystem happy!
1. ALIAS Rambaldi Cube I received this fabulous gift for my 31st birthday last week. Only40,000 were made worldwide and I am very grateful to the friends whocontributed and went all over Dallas to find the only copy left. All5 seasons, a book, and other fab. stuff! in a beautiful gold box withvelvet lining! The perfect gift for the biggest ALIAS fan in the world.
