{     A few of Sean Fitzgerald Laishley's favorite things...     }    

Now that the election is over, it's time to drown our sorrows in the things we love, and bide our time for four more years. Our Punchgut Studio print winner offered up these items to take solace in-

1. The Dirty Three - "Whatever You Love, You Are"
2. The Sopranos, seasons one-four
3. The Lord of the Rings films (I know the books are better. I have them on my "to do" list.)
4. Tortoise - "TNT"
5. Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps
6. Candy Corn
7. Cranium - the board game
8. Tad William's "Otherland" series
9. "Gun, with Occasional Music" by Jonathan Lethen
10. X-Files, seasons one-four
11. A little game by the name of Grand Theft Auto
12. Sparklehorse - "It's a Wonderful Life"

Thanks to Sean and all those who wrote in with "Favorites" lists in the Punchgut contest! Music, literature art, film and camaraderie may be the only things that get us through the tough times ahead. That is, if the Patriot Act doesn't outlaw them first.
