The things that I love

I've seen other blogs do this. And as is my non-creative nature, I shall copycat. Hey, don't hate. Just remember that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

Here is my list of things in life that I love, in no particular order:

  • Sushi. Cheap kind, expensive kind, it's all good. Just give me fish (cooked or not) wrapped in seaweed and covered in rice with some ginger and wasabi, and I'm in heaven. A glass of red wine on the side? Even better!
  • Red wine. I don't like most white wines unless it's really dry. But I looooove red wine. Especially Syrah or Chianti... or a Cabernet Sauvignon.... mmmmmm.... I especially like anything from the 2002 harvest.
  • Sam's Town. We just picked up the latest Killers CD, and have their concert to look forward to this Saturday. After a few listens, this album has really grown on me. I can't wait to see them live for the first time! Although I did get to see Brandon Flowers live at the U2 concert in Las Vegas last year (I still have orgasms thinking about it). I can't wait to see Brandon in his element. I just hope he shaves his porn 'stache by then.
  • Shopping on a sunday in Utah. 'nuff said.
  • U2 by U2. I got this book last week, and am still captivated.
  • Express clothes (www.expressfashion.com) I already covered this in a previous post.
  • Fall weather. My favorite time of year!
  • Carters clothes for kids. Cute and durable!
  • My cuisinart grind 'n brew coffeemaker. I bought this for myself as a reward for coming clean about my disaffection with all those who matter. It's turned me into a coffee snob, but I'm okay with that. No cream, no sugar. Just give me a nice cup of Columbian Supremo and I'm in heaven.
  • TV shows The Office and My Name is Earl. The only two shows I make an effort to watch. Scrubs will re-join this list once it starts up again in January.
  • Victoria's Secret Very Sexy brand of bra's. I'll get a boob job one day (my size is fine, it's just that aging and gravity have taken their toll....), but until then, the Very Sexy bra's make my boobs look like they did when I was 18.
  • My iPod. All of my music and pod casts at my fingertips. How did I live my life for 30 years without one?
  • Dooce. I've already covered this, too. She's one of the few people who can make me laugh and cry within one sentence.
  • Blogs. There are quite a few I follow religiously. Once I figure out how to make blogger work for me, I'll create my own blogroll.
  • Mexican food- either Cafe Rio if I'm craving lime and cilantro, or La Frontera if I want authentic.
  • To go along with mexican food- Tequila! I never show up to a party without it.
  • Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. Genetics have been kind to me as far as giving me clear and smooth skin, I don't have to make any big efforts. However, I do live in Utah. Without this moisturizer, I'm certain my face would have fallen off by now.

I suppose this list is long enough for now. Thanks for reading!

SML- Thank you!!

La- YAY, another Office fan! Oh hey, that reminds me, I have a DVD for you to borrow (or watch together sometime), it's called The Upright Citizens Brigade. It's Amy Poehler before SNL. Oh, and hug it up, bitch! :)

Christy said...

haha, thanks Eric! This picture was taken at a Murder Mystery party we went to several months ago. I swear, the cigar is just part of the character and costume. Okay fine, I love a good cigar. :)

Christy said...

Eric, you're making me blush! That's a nice thing to happen for me on a Monday morning, thank you! About the cloves-- we got ours in Evanston, and we bought a whole case last summer. We still have half of them left, so there's plenty to share! I know some others were talking about doing another Evanston run soon, not sure when it will happen. I'll make sure you're kept in the loop!

My wife picked up the U2 by U2 book for me last week, too. Love it! I've read a couple u2 books but this one has lots of info I didn't know before. I knew the band didn't get to do the full set at Live Aid, for example, but never knew how pissed they all were at Bono (until they realized that it was all anyone was talking about). The photos (especially the early days) are priceless. A must-have for any fan of the "band from Dublin City, Ireland."

Equality, I'm so glad you agree about the book. It's funny to see their publicity photos from when they first started. Who would have ever thunk they would be where they are today? Their story is amazing.
