Champions of Norrath: Return to Arms
Well, I am just a hack and slash video game whore. The first person shooters just do not do it for me. Make me a Shadow Knight Elf with a shadow step power and a killer bow, and I am all over it. Sequel to Champions of Norrath, this one fixed little glitches and has a good story line, with very different worlds. I have not completed it yet - but it has led to great co-op play with Saucier and Joel. Plus, its always good times to play MST3K to a videogame with them.

Men in turtleneck sweaters
It is a weakness. I always like winterwear better than summerwear anyway. But, turtleneck sweaters on men... good lord. Its like my kryptonite. It is number one just above facial hair/stubble and jaunty caps.

Wonderfalls
On one hand, it has been able to be exposed through DVD, not fade away into the night like most brilliant cancelled shows. It only aired 4 episodes. To me that is a crime against quality TV. Shows that might seem a little off the main stream bullshit, the networks put them on these crappy shitty time slots. Same thing happened to Firefly. Anyway, there are 13 episodes that are solid, and create enough of a closure at the end to be statisfying. Quirky characters that you can be comfortable with but still end up suprising you. Talking inanimate objects are always fun! Plus, I am in love with Lee Pace. My only complaint is that they say "soda" several times. No self respecting western New Yorker would every say "soda". It's "pop" Hollywood, "pop".

Scattegories
This is a board game that never, ever gets old for me. It spawns some friendly debate and some very humorous answers. And the creativity it spawns its truly great. Not many board games do that.

Making your bed with clean sheets
Something ordinary, but that first night you sleep on that new bed is just bliss. Making those folds and tucks tight in the sheets -- it feels like you are tucked away in an envelope.
