Colette's Picks and Pans for 2004
*Ahem* well these are mainly ‘Picks’ because I don’t think the ‘pans’ deserve the blog-space.
Best Movies for 2004:
Farenheit 9/11
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
(even though I went to see it with my husband in some pitiful attempt to try to regain a semblance of our relationship, and it was a ‘date’ that ended horribly – the movie was was wonderful)
Love Actually
(this was another botched attempt at a date with him)
De’Lovely
(Different date, different man – WONDERFUL FILM! Add this one to your collection)
The Motorcycle Diaries
Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
(This movie was weird, wacky AND wonderful – go see it – just for the David Bowie songs performed in Portuguese alone)
Best Music/Groups for 2004
(or at least the ones I learned of/listened to this year):
Modest Mouse
(A big thanks to my son for this)
Keane
(Again having a 16-year-old son really helps)
Tricky
Red Delicious
Saint Etienne,
Sigur Ros, &
Thievery Corporation
(Been around for a while but I just started getting into them)
Maroon 5
Cold Play
*Note: both have been around before this year but I still listen to them and like them
Best Books (that I’ve read) for 2004:
Waiting for Gertrude – by Bill Richardson
Taming Your Gremlin – by Rick Carson
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim & Barrel Fever – both by David Sedaris
The Bride Stripped Bare – Anonymous
Jivamukti Yoga – by Sharon Gannon and David Life (this has been a very influential Yoga book for me over the past 2 years)
The Essential Rumi - by Jalal Al-Din Rumi, et al
And a NEW category for me this year – Best Blogs:
(*Note: This list included some from 2003*)
First off – I would like to acknowledge both the blog of my ex-hubby:
The Sky Is Burning
and of course his favourite little slut/prostitute’s blog:
This Cliché Life
(Without either of these blogs, yours truly would still be living in a lie/sick and twisted joke of a marriage and would definitely NOT have begun my own blog).
The rest are some of my favs – in no particular order – and for those who have seen fit to link back to me, a million thanks and keep on blogging kids!
Auterrific
Gurustu’s Words of Wisdom
Easy Bake Coven
The Rant King
Whispers
Da Goddess
Say What?
Starry Sheep
Queer-Eyed Mrs. P
Eurotrash
Dancing with Dogs
Uterine Wars
Postmodern Courtesean
Scaryduck
Purple Pen
Go Fug Yourself
Liam’s Odd Musings
Seeking Clarity
Dragon Droppings
Brewed Fresh Daily
Grumpiest Girl
(Of course I would not link to a blog unless I liked it – so feel free to check out my blog roll.)
It’s been an interesting year (blogging experience) to say the very least. I wish all of you continued happiness, good health, much joy and success. May your muse be kind and inspirational.
