Highly Recommended


1. Mother nature's sense of irony - I threw a cigarette butt out the window yesterday and it blew back in the window and landed on and burned my neck

2. Setting up a new apartment; not once, or twice, but thrice while checking out at various home stores I was complimented by other customers on my taste in decore. My favorite compliment was from a woman my mother's age who asked me, "do you have good taste or watch too much hgtv?" My first thought was what the hell is hgtv - which is good. After further reflection I figured out it was home and garden television, but I ain't got no cable and don't dig the home improvement shows so there ya go.

3. Yankee candle company's sunwashed linen scented candles - nothing covers up stale food and tobacco smells from previous tenants like putting your whole apartment in the clothes dryer with a whole box of dryer sheets.

4. Regis and Kelly while blogging - 'nuff said.

5. Warm weather, open windows and ergo sandles - especially the chaco sandles that I sprang for which have been highly recommended (endlessly in some cases) by my sisters as well as the e-bot/beth/beff/biff.

6. Panzer Dragoon Orta (those of you who play video games will understand)

7. Warm weather and all the pretty girls - seriously every spring...........and the worst part is there's nothing that can really prepare a guy for that first pair of shorts or a halter top in the spring - almost embarassing (guys you know what I mean)

8. The Exile Kiss by G A Effinger - weird peice of sci-fi given to me by k-rel cool stuff

9. Bell's Two Hearted Ale

10. A pot of french press coffee first thing in the morning

11. "New Magnetic Wonder" by The Apples in Stereo


That's about all I've got for now.
