The Spinto Band's Best Things of 2007 - "Sam's Jams"

ALBUM
Michael Ian Black - I'm a Wonderful Man. A perfect title for this man's very funny standup show which was recorded and put on a CD/iTunes. I like it when he makes fun of his kids.

SONG
"Laura Palmer's Theme" - Twin Peaks. Like Nick's pick, this is clearly an older song, but I just started watching Twin Peaks this year. Just listening to this alone in a dark room would give me an eerie feeling and sometimes good nightmares.

FILM
I just saw Juno a few days ago and I laughed a lot. The lead actress Ellen Page used the word "weinuses" and my dad was proud and said, "I knew I was ahead of my time." My dad says "weinus" a lot.

BOOK
Time Will Darken It - William Maxwell. Another older one, but I read it for class and I was entertained.

DISCOVERY
I found out that baseball players did steroids this year. I cried.

INVENTION
I can't decide between all the great ones I have seen on infomercials lately. Probably the adjustable things you put under door to stop drafts though. Totally cool.
