Best of 2006: J-Lo
Book - This is a tie between Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World, and Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates. If you are an idealist awaiting something on the scale of utopia then I recommend Gaviotas and for those who are fans of Tom Robbins - there is no better choice then Fierce Invalids.
Album - Annuals and Black Angels. The Annuals took diversity and experimentation to the next level in their odyssey through creativity, on the other hand the Black Angels take us back a few decades to the days of drone and psych-rock - a perfect blend of the Velvet Underground and Jim Morrison.
Movie - Little Miss Sunshine. A brilliant screenplay and an actor playing a self proclaimed Nietzsche adoring mute
Food/Drink - Since coming down to Tejas I would recommend a cold glass of Shiner Blonde.
Geographical Location - Atop the magical dwarf forests of Honduras with Kevo or under the clear blue waves of Utila.
Event - The collapse of the GOP and the Democratic take over of the House and Senate. Beautiful!
