Dancing hard, singing loud, reading good books, listening to new music, going for a nice run, laughing until my cheeks cramp up, cooking a great meal, coffee, sudoku, crosswords, productive days at work, Sushi Sundays/Uptown Family Dinners, traditions, being able to buy whatever I want, traveling, showers, soft sheets, feather pillows.

Movies
'Just Friends' is my favorite. I'm pretty sure Ryan Reynolds broke up with Alanis for me.
I just bought Marie Antoinette (the Sofia Coppola directed version)... amazing!!
Television
The only show I HAVE to watch is The Office. I have a weakness for football related programs too. I'm semi-ashamed to admit I like Friday Night Lights. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm in love with Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock. I'm also newly addicted to American Idol. I used to have to watch Arrested Development, but I guess no one else did.
What can I say? Winter brings out the tv watcher in me.
Books
Just finished 'Less Than Zero'. It was dark and dishearteningly good. Working on 'The Tender Bar'.
I recently learned from a bartender at the Palace that the Jammer no longer facilitates karaoke there because his van got broken in to. We should track him down sometime. 1029?
Happy future birthday. I just got a reminder. Okay, I'll talk to you again in 4 to 6 months. Not because I'll be in jail...we just don't know each other that well. Anywayzzz...happy birthday.
