My Favorite Things

If you've ever watched the Oprah Winfrey show, you probably know that she has this special where she talks about all of her current favorite things shamelessly promoting expensive brands. In the end, everyone in the audience gets free stuff, and then everyone else watching is jealous. So, I've decided to follow suit and share some of my current (free) obsessions!

First, I've been reading this new blog called Smitten Kitchen. It's this lady who cooks really awesome dishes and takes amazing pictures of all the food. Then she posts the recipe with helpful tips. It's so great. I made this amazing cake for Dayne's Christmas present. So go there. And bake stuff!

Also, (now this is probably old news) but I watched P.S. I Love You for the first time the other day. It was so great! I cried a ton, but it was clever and original... not just a typical girly movie. So everyone go watch it, and if you've seen it before, go watch it again. I've already watched it twice.

Sorry guys that the previous two things are extremely feminine, so my other new favorite thing is Wii Golf. It's sort of an odd thing for me to enjoy so much, but I'm getting pretty competitive about it. I'm still not great, but its fun and I can't stop wanting to play!


Finally, the most favoritest new thing of all is Flight of the Conchords. You may have watched New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo in the past, but you need to become obsessed. January 18 is the premiere of the second season on HBO. It comes on every Sunday at 10 pm. Watch it. Live it.



So that pretty much sums up my obsessions of the moment. Feel free to leave comments about some of your current favorite things to share with us all!

I apologize for the temporary blog hiatus. When actual exciting things are happening in my life, I find it difficult to keep people updated. It's those lonesome wanderings of my mind that seem to make it onto the page. Also, I have this problem with not being able to write unless I have some sort of meaningful, thoughtful idea. I suppose this trait is the exact reason why it takes me three hours to write a one page paper. It is difficult, no.. painful for me to write a bad essay. Now you might assume I'm being arrogant in saying this because that would mean I never write bad essays. Well, let me clarify... Yes. Yes, that's about right.

In recent news, I have fulfilled two of my life goals since the previous post. I am getting married and I saw Jason Mraz live. I have to say, neither of the two disappointed. You may wonder which one of these was at the top of the list... well, I'm not telling. Now all I have left to do is end world poverty, make some babies, and watch the Arrested Development movie. Come on, Ron Howard, let's get started!

Who knows when I'll update again. Next time you hear from me, I could be pregnant and dressed up like Mrs. Featherbottom going to the movies with all my newly wealthy friends. So, I'll leave you with something wonderful to listen to while I'm gone.

P.S. If you've missed the AD references, we can no longer be friends.
