Top five movies I saw in 2009

in ,

1. "Timer" 2. "The Hangover," but only the photo roll during the credits. The rest, honestly? It wasn't the funniest movie I've ever seen. But any movie J and I saw in the theater this year gets major points because being in a movie theater was such a big deal that I remember each and every movie theater experience since Nora was born extremely fondly. 3. "Kicking and Screaming," for the millionth time, which wasn't made in 2009 and which never, ever loses its magic.

Um, holy shit. I can't remember any other movies I saw this year. I saw "Funny People," which I thought was, like, four or five hours too long, and last night J and I went to see "Avatar," which I'm pretty sure deserves a post of its own.

My first year end top five list

in ,

Top five songs I heard: 1. "Daylight" by Matt & Kim - sometimes I daydream that I go out dancing somewhere and I ask them to play this song and they DO 2. "River" by Akron/Family 3. "Lights Out" by Santogold - number one song for turning up loud when I'm alone in the car 4. "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z - the presence of this song on the list indicates my desperate need to get back into music 5. "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver - although, apparently, this song was released in 2008
