Grams!
from Dawson's Creek popped up on Fringe tonight. I love when new shows reunite stars from past favs. I gotta say though if not for my interest in the characters, I'm not sure I'd be such a faithful viewer. But it's pretty good, and as mysterious as is, it's a lot less heavy on the brain than Lost. And it's pretty scary.

Which would you rather read?
or
That's the Dutch cover on the top. It comes out in Holland in March. For those of you who didn't get the bird head reference, it's Mary Poppins' umbrella head from the movie. Thanks goodness the story can stand on its own legs....you have read it right??????

Gigs has been sick
Really sick...which is why I haven't awarded the SAGA's for best song or best book. So I'm going to do both right now.
BEST BOOK
I declared this way back in February...and then changed my mind in March. But nothing else I have read this year comes close to My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger! Read my review here.
Runner Ups
Suck It Up by Brian Meehl -just look at that cover! How could you not like that book? And see the smiley fangs on the right? Yeah the author has buttons he sells on his website! Gigs has a bunch!
Parties and Potions by Sarah Mylnowski -this is the fifth in a series, and I liked it so much, I'm gonna read them all! So likeable! And the author has been a Gigs fav since her first book, Milkrun.
BEST SONG
I have no idea...there wasn't anything good that came out this year...maybe Lovebug by the Jonas Brothers. Or Womanizer by Britney. And you know it's been a bad year if I chose a Britney song as the best of the year. Oh and I really liked Spotlight by Jennifer Hudson. But I think I'm going to search out in left field to find a winner...and since Gigs never LOVED this band like so many others, this is left field for me!
Viva La Vida by Coldplay
I like the song...it's the first Coldplay song to ever make it to my iPod. In a pretty depressing pop year this was one of the highlights. I'm sick of rap (or what is now referred to as rap) and these sugary sweet poppy underagers who can't carry a tune without professional sound equipment (did you HEAR that commercial promotion New Year's with Ryan Seacrest? They all sounded horrible!)
And a special award that I'm giving out this year...this fell into no other category, so I'm creating a special one for it!
Best episode not shown on tv or in the movies....
Dr. Horrible's Sing A Long Blog!
It all came about during the writer's strike (certainly one of the best things to have come from that). Joss Whedon was bored and he couldn't write for tv or movies, so he wrote for the web. He and some other talented folks created this 3 part web series about a young evil do-er who falls in love and finds himself having to prove his evil-ness. Oh, and there's some funny singing too. I personally have not sung a long with it.
