Only one more year left in the ‘2000-aughts’ before we hit the ‘2000-tens.’ Let’s end it like so many bloggers do…with a list of cool things of 2008.

#10 - Xbox Live and Netflix merger (a 2nd method of using my video game system strictly for movie enjoyment)

#9 -  New automobiles (Tracy has a newer car, and I’m back to a truck)

#8 - Funnyordie.com (The best place for killing productivity rates)

#7 - Installing air conditioning in the house (Both my core temperature and whining were reduced by 50%)

#6 - Movies (finally, a year of critically- AND commercially-successful flicks: Wall*E, Pineapple Express, The Dark Knight, etc.)

#5 - Portland Trailblazers (OK, so this current season is technically 2008-2009, but they are so fun to watch this year, and they beat the Celtics last night!)

#4 - The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg of SNL and his pals basically pioneered the scripted-and-weird video scene. TLI is their group, and you will get sick of them in 2009.)

#3 - Pop Candy (Tracy turned me on to this pop culture blog. Now she doesn’t even read it, and I read it at least twice daily.)

#2 - KATU’s 11:00 News (Steve Dunn is the closest thing to Ron Burgundy…so much innuendo and borderline sexual harrassment.)

#1 -  Sarah Palin NOT winning the VP seat (Remember, this is not necessarily a Pr-Obama site, but we’re definitely anti-Palin around these parts. Cronyism, druggie in-laws, you betcha’s, hunting from helicopters…she’s perfect for Alaska, and she should stay there.)

It’s things like this that make me miss living in L.A. But then I quickly snap out of it when I think of the housing market down there. Still, not only is this show mere blocks from our old apartment in Burbank, but the show is on my birthday!
