The Best and the Brightest

because if they're popular that must mean they're the best, right?
Anyway here are the "popular" pages and things (according to the meticulous records that tracking software keeps) on "a dream or a song" for the past half year. And of course since you've all been here since the beginning these are all going to look awfully familiar...

I was thinking about doing a "My Top Obsessions" but that would require a lot of work and I'm sure it'd be like John Edwards, robots enslaving humanity, Radiohead and other things. You can try it for yourself.
Then I was going to do a "Top 10 Least Appreciated" that would have focused on the posts that i was actually kind of proud of and that I thought were unique, but of course all my posts are beloved children (albeit some may have had more heart/emotion/gin behind them) even if I get strangely happy whenever I can fit in a "crotch shots" tag. All that being said until they find Steve Fossett's body I'm sticking with my original theory...

(and on a related note the L.A. Times listed their most popular stories of 2007 and a little surprisingly, but not really "Old Mike, New Christine" was the number 1 viewed piece and it just seemed fitting because, even though I can't read it anymore without getting very emotional, that was definitely the most important article/column/confession I read this year, probably ever, and also was a pretty direct impetus for the most important/hardest thing I did in 2007. )
