Things I Love

I haven't done one of these posts in quite sometime and lately I have been really loving some things so I thought it was about time.

First off...



This is my new favorite movie. It was just such a beautiful expression of what music can do to people. And it wasn't typical. I just loved it and would suggest renting it. Not to mention buying the soundtrack. I had to buy it right after I watched the movie because I was so in love with Glen Hansard's voice and song writing.







I'm no Rachel Ray in the kitchen and chopping is not my forte by any means. But I got this little genius invention for Christmas and I love it. It's handy for everything...I even used to to cut up chicken the other night and it was perfect. My only complaint is that it's a bit tedious to clean...but I say it's worth it to get such nicely chopped veggies.





This is a great CD. The song writers (Ryan Post, Evan Savage, and others) are really talented. I think it will be interesting to see what happens with them. It's a really great CD but hard to get a hold of right now because they're only selling it at Eastview in Bloomington. You can listen to a few tracks though. www.fuel242.com. It says it's live...but I'm not sure how true that is. I'm sure some is live but from what I can hear most of it was done in a studio. I could be wrong though. Either way, it's a great listen.





iGoogle is go great. Everything you need all in one place. Mine has news, weather, my google calendar, my gmail, google talk, and of course an RSS feed from people.com.





I just got a new work computer and in the process of switching over I had a big scare. I thought I lost all of my pictures...over 1000 pictures...4 years worth. I was able to recover them but because of that I decided to get a Flickr account so I could keep my photos backed up with their original size. For $25 a year you have unlimited storage and it has really user friendly photo correction stuff. I think it's great. Check out my page.





This is hands down the best gym I have ever been to. I love it so much and I actually like going there to work out. It's pretty sweet. They have a state of the art cardio studio, state of the art weight training equipment, a seven lane lap swimming pool, a warm water therapy pool, and my favorite part...separate whirlpool, sauna, and steam room in the locker rooms.

So there ya have it. Things I love so far this year. And it's only February!
