Twenty Zero 4 - A year in Re-View
Best Moment
1. Watching a Taiwanese documentary with Louise that had no spoken English and only Chinese subtitles and being able to walk out with only a few questions, but, on the whole. understanding the film.
2. Driving my scooter over 400k in one day. Adrian and I decided to head to the East coast through the mountains. Once there we decided to follow the coast-line North and go around back to our city. 10.5 hours and 2 sore butt-cheeks later . . . I made it. The most ironic part about the trip was that before we began the 7 hour leg of our journey, Adrian figured the 3 hour drive down the East coast would be too far.
Worst Moment
I guess it's a good thing that I am having a hard time filling this space. If anything comes to mind I'll let you know.
Favourite CD released in '04
American Idiot by Green Day
Most surprising CD
Astronaut by Duran Duran
Most disappointing CD
There is a slew of them. I would have to say that 2004 has been the worst year in music in a long time. I slowed down my buying of CDs, mostly for financial reasons, but also because there really wasn't anything out there that made me stand up. So I can't really name one specific album since there are, oh, so many out there.
Favourite TV Show
Desperate Housewives. Seriously a great show. Smart, quirky and intelligent. And of course, Teri Hatcher.
Started watching Arrested Development lately. That's a great show too.
Happiest TV Moment
Finding out that Sex in the City is finally over. I used to love the show until I watched the SNL spoof. Ruined it for me completely.
Favourite Meal
My mom's Japanese Chicken Wings while in Canada. so good they were requested again by my siblings and Louise.
Favourite food/drink discovery
An old favorite, but I would have to say the box of "After Eight" dinner mints that Adrian and I found in costco.
Best Movie
I'm gonna get on the band wagon and go with "The Incredibles." Seriously, I can't find anything wrong with that movie.
Best Film
I would have to say that Collateral was one of the most beautifully made movies that I have seen in a long time. I don't know what it was exactly, but the way Michael Mann used the music and the city lights just made me fall in love with the movie.
Worst Movie
Ocean's 12. Saw it on New Year's Eve. What a waste of time and money. Please don't bother seeing it. It was worse than Matrix II, Star Wars Episode II and Titanic rolled into one. I would rather have a marathon of those movies dubbed into Russin with Malay subtitles played at full volume, than watch Ocean's 12 again.
Most surprising movie
"Super-Size Me." Thanks to this movie I don't know when I will eat fast food again.

I very much enjoyed American Idiot.
And agree with you that "Encore" was terribly disappointing. Not a 'horrible' CD as it had some good songs, but considering how impressive the 8 Mile songs and 'Eminem Show' were, I had high hopes for the album which were dashed to earth.
Still haven't seen collateral yet. Actually, still haven't seen pretty much anything that was nominated at all this year for anything. Bah.
