With the posting of the top 10 albums, I figured I'd go on and create the thread for the rest of the lists that are going to be popping up soon. Hopefully this won't get as out of hand as the Top 5 Lists thread since it's only for this year....

Top 10 TV Shows of 2003
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer It's the last year this can be my #1, so here it is. Amazing final episode...
2. Angel Proudly keeping the Buffy tradition alive. This could be the show of 2004 for me.
3. Alias Snap, so many plot twists and amazing performances. This should be the #1 drama on TV.
4. Friends It's final year has been as good as the last couple. I'll definitely have a countdown to the last episode...
5. Six Feet Under I just discovered this show and it definitely wowed me. Now I know why all them darn HBO shows win everything.
6. Late Nite w/ Conan O'Brien 10th anniversary, White Stripes, Strokes, the Cat impersonation, Schwarzenneger, hilarious year
7. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy The best makeover show on TV, and it's amazingly funny.
8. Real World: Paris A great season with a great/annoying cast and possibly the most annoying Real Worlder since Puck: CT.
9. ER Parminder Nagra and Linda Cardinelli have reinvigorated this show. Plus Bob Newhart and a helicopter crash, best ER in years.
10. Newlyweds "Why does that dolphin have a hole in its head?"
11. I Love The 80s: Strikes Back I can't get enough of this funky stuff. Michael Ian Black is just too funny...and I love TV too much to just have 10...

9. hmm...
10. yeah...

Add some more if you feel that 5-10 things have totally rocked your socks off this year. I'm holding off on movies until Return of the King on Dec. 17th, plus that's a pretty passionate topic so I'm sure someone who actually knows about movies will do one in the Film board.

I like my job, probably because I don't do anything and I'm only there for 5 hours a week.

Oh what joy.. I'm trying to get on at the computer lab at the LRC for next semster, I wanna be able to do my homework and sign people in and out an get paid for it.. but just my luck I won't get it.. I've never had a job that didn't involve me getting calluses on my hands or blisters on my feet I think I have a curse or something.
