Bast’s Top 10 Reasons to Hate Year-end Top 10 Lists
10. They always include at least one thing I’ve never heard of in them – and that makes me feel out of touch.
9. Star Trek is never mentioned.
8. Neither is Babylon 5.
7. Too much weather. Enough about the earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, etc. Not covered by insurance anyway.
6. Too Western-centric, except for the disasters. When’s the last time the AIDS epidemic in Africa made the list?
5. Too many celebrity death rolls - who did we lose this year – way too morbid, and really, who cares?
4. Makes me think too much about the end of the year. Stop it already. I hate New Year’s Eve.
3. Makes me think that I watch too much television, and other such navel-gazing thoughts.
2. Too many “Year in Review” spots on the telly. And not one devoted to Coronation Street. (OK, I obviously do watch too much television …)
And the Number 1 Reason to Hate Year-end Top 10 Lists ….
1. Bast never appears on any of them (er, except this one ….nuts…)
