Dogville
I need more people to see this movie. Simply because I need more people to talk to about this film. It was filmed on a soundstage that was dressed very very starkly. Nicole Kidman suprises me sometimes. She is one of those stars that it is hard to forget that it is her, but this one had me hooked on her. I don't want to give tons away -- see it and we will discuss.
Bust, April/May 2005 issue
Amy Sedaris is on the cover. Wearing huge falsies and cut lemon tops for nipples under this yellow dress. And, to top it off, she is interviewed by Mya Rudolph. Bust magazine is what Bitch magazine would secretly read but never admit to. Smart, hip, craft tips, and with fashion tips. But with real size models and some fun and funky things.
Dark Chocolate M&Ms
I have not tried them yet. But I just saw a commerical for them -- and dark chocolate is my weakness. The commercial was Star Wars, and probably the commercial is better than Episode III.
Portland Public Market
This is quite possibily one of my favorite places in Portland. Great big ol' warehouse full of vendors of veggies, seafood, jams, etc and some great places to get some meals. I love to go and read there or sit and have never ending conversations with friends sitting up top. Plus, I found the ginger candy I love that I could only find piece by piece at the Thai place. It was at this stand that sells spices and other exotic things. And there is a giant scary lobster. GIANT.
Loveshack, B-52s
I think this has to be one of the top dancing songs out there. If your dance floor is empty, this is almost a guarntee to get people out there. The "bang-bang on the door" is my favorite part.

Shattered Glass
A great film that examines how far a young journalist will go to become a success. This is the movie that first turned me onto the fantastic Peter Sarsgaard. It also shows that Hayden Christensen really can act when he doesn't have George Lucas' Wet Blanket of Directing thrown over him.
The Interpol Evil Music Video
Basically this realistic-looking human/muppet guy sings the entire song while he's being transported from the scene of a car accident to the emergency room. Seeing his gangling limbs flail around while he's dancing on a gurney at the end of the video reminds me why I loved Grover so much as a child.
Mozilla Firefox
A great internet browser that I finally broke down and decided to try out. In many ways it puts Internet Explorer to shame. The biggest feature for me is the ability to open multiple pages within a single window where you can easily switch between them using tabs at the top of the screen. Also, you can setup this sort of quick bar along the top with sites you visit most often. There's lots of little things that cause you to wonder why they aren't used in every browser.
Paying Bills Online
I don't know what I would do without online banking. With the exception of my rent, there isn't one bill that I pay through the mail anymore. It's quite liberating. Plus it saves a tree or two, I reckon.
Stouffer's Skillets Meals
If you've had a long day and want something quick and satisfying for dinner, I say one of these frozen meals will do the trick. All the ingredients are in the bag, you just empty it in a frying pan and in about 15 mins you have some hot and tastey vittles. Two personal favorites are Garlic Chicken and Chicken Alfredo.
