Taking Stock

Now that I’ve completed my whirlwind Christmas trip home… it’s time for New Year’s… but my favorite part of New Year’s is the end of the current year.  Why?  Because EVERYONE releases top ten lists and years in review and superlatives (Borat in Time Magazine’s top ten?  For real?).  It’s great fun to look back at everything that happened – most of which I already forgot – and reflect on how ridiculous it all is. Of course it’s always interesting from a cultural anthropology standpoint to see what people and organizations latch onto as the most influential, memorable, interesting or (sometimes) distasteful items of the year. So here are some lists off the top of my head.  Feel free to submit your own!

• National Geographic Top Ten Videos of 2006
• AIA/COTE Top Ten Awards
• Young Adult Library Services Association
• Ad Age Book of Tens
• Greenville’s LINK Music Critics Year in Review
  
• Greenville News’ Best and Worst Movies of the Year (Check out the other year-in-review links in the sidebar)
• Etc., etc., etc.

Happy New Year!
