The book-turned-Web site includes everything from ABBA to AC/DC. You can read the blog and buy albums.
You already know my beef with lists and who has the authority to to tell me what to listen to, watch and download. But, despite the lack of gangsta rap, this one seems legit.
I better get crackin' before I bite the dust.
The whip doesn't crack as loudly as it used to and his Fedora seems a bit worn. While the quips were still funny, the special effects were so 2003. I thought I'd be OK with the star-studded cast of Cate Blanchett, Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf. WRONG. Anyone else see bother to see the movie? Or have any thoughts?

The catch? He's the father of a 3-year-old son. Read a recap of the episode here. Read a blog about the show here.
Holler at all the single parents out there. Do you agree with Mesnick going on the show? Is it harder to date when kids are involved? Click here to comment.

In 2004, Danger Mouse took Jay-Z's lyrics and paired them with the Beatles' "White Album" to make the "Grey Album." Who should Hova rap with next?
We braved the arctic chill and went to Silk City. The bar was packed, but we managed to snag some drinks including champagne for the midnight toast. The dance floor was crowded, but we managed to carve out a spot to bust some moves. DJ Deejay spun sick beats all night long, so I didn't stop shaking my boo-tay until last call. Then, I ran down Spring Garden Street to grab a cab so my pooped posse didn't have to haul back to the Sheraton in 3-inch heels. It was a big personal accomplishment, since I don't get the chance to do that kind of thing in York.
Thursday, I headed to my Aunt's house to watch the Rose Bowl and eat the traditional meal of pork, sauerkraut and kielbasa. (I skipped the sauerkraut.) Watching Penn State lose to USC might have made my hangover worse. I should have read FlipSide instead.
Friday, I headed to the movies to see this year's little movie that could: "Slumdog Millionaire." The possible Oscar contender made me believe that love, brotherhood, goodness, etc. can trump greed and selfishness. The closing credits also made me smile. I left the movie theater feeling optimistic for the first time in a while.
Saturday, I headed into Philadelphia again for Tex-Mex and margaritas at Johnny Mananas. My friends were serenaded by a Spanish guitarist and a jackhammer on the street outside. I wrapped up the night at another gathering. I got the chance to master the easy level rock out with "Guitar Hero" and practice my bluffing abilities during a few games of bull.
Memories or when I used to be lame: Read the FIRST Weekend Roundup.
Driving home Sunday gave me a chance to fume about having to shell out more cash at the tollbooth and reflect on all the fun I had in 2008. I'm pretty sure 2009 will be just as sweet.

Aw, snap, son. Check out the fine sho-tee rockin' all dat ice.]]>Translation: Hello, my good sir. Take a gander at the beautiful woman wearing the expensive jewels.

It's not just Best of 2008 lists. It seems like more networks, magazines and Web sites are using the list method to capture readers/viewers. Can anyone say overkill? Who really cares what the top 25 "I did it for the money" films are? The only lists that matter to me are the lists of Grammy, Emmy and Academy Award winners. Word.
]]>I wanted to watch "The Dark Knight" again since it was onDemand, but I didn't have enough time to watch "Yule Log" in HD. I was able to watch the Philadelphia Ealges defy the odds to clinch a playoff spot. I'm not sure what lucky charms Philly teams are using this year, but they're working.
I must have been a good girl this year. My big gift this Christmas was a Dell laptop. Since I spent about six hours on the Pennsylvania Turnpike during the last few days, I might ask for an E-Zpass next Christmas. Either that, or a one-horse open sleigh so I can bypass the traffic.
