hi there shash,
great way to end the year by remembering the above.
i'm about to start "the intuitionist" for my book group and am in the middle of "the omnivore's dilemma"-- have you read it? if not, we can do a swap for kingsolvers! btw, did you like bird by bird? i just noticed you read it.
HNY!

Nice to remember favourites.
Movies, you actually listed two that I really enjoyed "Lives of Others" and "Half Nelson" (we also saw it on dvd). I also saw Eastern Promises and thought it was great.
Music - last year I loved Feist, particularly the latest Reminder album - we've got tickets to see her in Melbourne next month. Childrens tapes featured big this year too - Justine "I like to Sing" - very under 5 and very Australian.
Food. Eaten a lot of salad with smoked chicken breast in this year. Very easy peasy, but so tasty. Loving bbqed seafood now that our yard is finished and we've finally cleaned the bbq and replaced the rusty bits.
I look forward to be surprised in 2008 by things I otherwise may not have tried/read/watched/listened to.
