A brief list of my current nuggets of fulfillment:
DVD: "Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Set": This I file under "guilty pleasures". Something about watching Clint Eastwood killing bad guys with a mammoth hand cannon makes a wimpy dude like me happy.
TV: "Lost": Moving an island? Locke in a coffin? Sweet Lord, when will the questions end? Oh wait, in two more seasons. I forgot.
"Battlestar Galactica": Man, I'm starting to get a bit weepy that this is the last season now (and this week's spectacular episode didn't lessen the blow either). "About time". Ah man, now I need some tissues...
MUSIC: Weezer, The Red Album: Me liketh the nerd-rock!
Gnarls Barkley, The Odd Couple: Nothing says offbeat hip-hop like these cats.
BOOKS: Pride of Baghdad, Brian K Vaughan and Niko Henrichon: A powerful and ultimately heartbreaking story (from one of the writers of Lost and based on an actual event) of a pack of lions who escape their zoo in Baghdad during the end of Saddam's reign. Sure its a comic book (a long-form one to be sure), but its definitely worth checking out for those non-comic fans who want something more challenging than superheroes beating each other senseless. Among my favorite books of the year.
