It’s almost time to turn the page on 2008, which means the inevitable end-of-year pop culture lists are beginning to show up. A continuously updated compilation of this year’s lists can be found at Fimoculous, which has become the go-to site for this sort of thing. Sure, these lists are arbitrary and often exclude works that didn’t have huge PR campaigns, but I still enjoy them. They’re brain candy, lacking much substance but easily devoured. And despite the tendency of these lists to parrot each other, I usually discover at least a few items that are worth adding to my Amazon wishlist.
Marc, in my view you are the contrary of a depressed person, thinking of this definition of happiness, which has always fascinated me by its mysteriousness:
“Happiness is: to find interest.”
