Because everyone else is.

quick stuff first:

TV-
Lost: Probably the flip-side of the JJ Abrams coin, where Alias is confusing and dumb, but Lost is confusing and cool. Come on secret Nazi base! Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!
Desperate Housewives: Trashy. And alternately brilliant and awful. But since I think I'm dumping the OC I need to get my trash somewhere.
Daily Show: Well, duh. But I don't catch it nearly as much as I'd like.

Movies-
The Incredibles and Sideways: I don't see many movies any more, but these were both great in their own ways, and I'm glad I saw them. Incredibles didn't my joy button as much as it did others, but I went into it in a fairly surly mood, so for once I think I'll actually give a movie a second shot. I love you Brad Bird.

Books-
Goedel, Escher, Bach: The Eternal Golden Braid and A Peace To End All Peace: My comics come in bitesize doses, so my book books come in gigantic hard to swallow granite spheres. Both of these books are really incredibly good, and I don't ever read more than a chapter at a time. I've been reading both for basically all of 2004 and am not even close to done either of them. But really, they're very good.

Now the long'un... Comic books!
