my favorite things of 2004 or any year:
1. friends
2. movies
3. books
4. food
5. music
movies out in 2004:
1. "napoleon dynamite." there. i said it. it comes in first over:
2. "harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban."
3. "the village." out on dvd january 11. by no means a great movie, but with enough little things and moments to catch my little heart.
4. "kill bill vol. 2." i really dump this one in with vol. 1, and am highly anticipating a box set.
5. "sean of the dead." zombie. movies. rock.
honorable mention: "naked." not out in 2004, but that's the first time i saw it. in fact, let me add in all the mike leigh films i saw: "life is sweet," "career girls," and "vera drake."

5. "coraline" by neil gaiman.
