- Cocktail: The Old Fashioned. Between my lovely, lovely trip to Appleton, Wisconsin & MB's new cocktail book (and let's not forget expensive cherries), this has got to be the best discovery of 2010
- Wine: sparkling. Love all things sparkly & bubbly. Yeah!
- Thing to eat: Sea Salt chocolate
- Trilogy: The Hunger Games. Gave me some small faith in YA fiction and female protagonists.
- Mystery: Hypothermia. I may never get over my love affair with Arnaldur Indridason.
- Novel: The Anthologist. This was a tough choice. I think I had to choose this one because it was such a nice, quiet book. Not over written, not announcing its greatness, but great nonetheless.
- Non-fiction book: Heft on Wheels. Inspiring book about how a man gets obsessive about biking and loses a lot of weight.
- Newly Discovered TV Show: Bored to Death. Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galafianakis. Need I say more?
- Most disappointing new season of show I loved: Californication, Season 3. I mean, I still love DD, but they weren't sure what to do with the story line this season....sad.
- Movie watched on Netflix: I've Loved You So Long. I loved this movie, mostly because it was so beautiful and slow and it conveyed so much by letting silence just stand, which most American movies don't do. Plus I think I have a long-standing crush on Kristin Scott Thomas (dating back to "The English Patient").
- 2010 Movie: The Kids are Alright. It's the duo of Mark Ruffalo & Julianne Moore that put this movie over the top for me. Everyone is good in this.
- Best Documentary: Man on Wire
- Favorite TV Show (that I actually watch on TV): tie between "Glee" and "Modern Family"
- Favorite new activity: teaching the body-weight exercise class at Studio Azul. I make them suffer & they like me. What else does a woman need?

I am doing this very same thing. Except in typical grandiose fashion, I will be doing it for three days. Why? I love this edited version. And I concur with many of your choices, too, such as I've Loved You So Long and KST in general; The Kids Are Alright; Modern Family; Hypothermia/The Anthologist, and sea salt chocolate.
Thank you for indulging us in drinks today. Erik said it was the best Old Fashioned ever getrunken.
Excellent and concur especially with:
*loved Heft on wheels
*also a tie for me between Glee and Modern family for best tv show
*Lastly, totally caught up in Jar city and as Hypothermia made your list and Lisa's I better get ordering the rest of the Erlendur books
