-a lot more baking
-a lot more Dharma
-some dates, but no second dates
-too many crushes and a few obsessions
-increased Non-Gravity readership

Stuff That Wasn't What I Wanted It To Be in 2007
-Spider-Man 3 (not only did they ruin the great step forward they took with #2, but they killed any chance of Topher and Bryce stepping and taking over the roles in #4)
-Transformers (I thought I'd lowered my expectations enough, but nope)
-Knocked Up (so funny...but not all there)
-Across The Universe
-Heroes
-Superman Doomsday
-Walk Hard (some good gags and great songs...but barely a movie?)
-Ratatouille
-Hairspray
-Hot Fuzz
-Sicko
-Simpsons Movie
-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
-Beuwolf (I didn't actually see it)
-300 (didn't see it either)
-Jon Brion at the Largo...as much as I love him and the venue, maybe he's outgrown it to the point where it's starting to ruin the fun of going? I love that Jon is experimental and weird sometimes, but it makes it hard to fight for seats and convince friends to come to a pain-in-the-ass venue for an hour of guitar solos.

Stuff I'm Looking Forward To in 2008
-Zooey Deschanel's debut album!
-The Dark Knight
-Where The Wild Things Are
-Synecdoche, New York (Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut)!
-Wall-E
-Iron Man
-Justice League: The New Frontier
-A Radiohead tour?

Stuff That Scares Me in 2008
-Iron Man
