Top 10

1. Angels baseball–doing well despite the injuries/tragedies of this season.
2. Mapsadasical–my latest source for excellent music recommendations (and some nifty photos to boot)
3. iPhone 3GS–32 GB storage space means waaaaaay more music in my pocket at all times.  Plus it’s faster and the video camera is excellent!

5. Finnegans Wake
6. Pizza Chalet
7. Sleep
8. New Doctor Who

2. Republicans
3. TV networks that spend more than 5 minutes on Michael Jackson’s death
