A few of my favorite things:
♠ music & live shows
♠ traveling/taking it all in... spending a lot of time in airports,
giving thanks to whoever decided to put starbucks in every airport across the country
♠ marketing/pr (it pays the bills!)
♠ being paid to workout (it doesn't pay the bills!)
♠ freelance writing for music publications
♠ going on tour (too bad my latest job doesn't allow for much of that anymore...)
♠ sunny 80 degree weather (so why do i live in the midwest?)
♠ the internet and everything it lets me do
♠ my cell phone (more like the person on the other end of the line...)
♠ the chicago cubs and everything about wrigley field
♠ the chicago bulls (and you thought united center was just for concerts didn't you?...!)
♠ my digital camera and what it let's me capture (i don't use it nearly enough)

ok abc, you win-- "Brothers and Sisters" has had me from the start...
for 3 seasons i haven't been able to decide if i love or hate "Lost," brutha...
i actually like commercials-- yes you read that right-- and that pedigree commercial with the dogs in the pound makes me a little weepy... yeah, i know that's weird--so? who are these heartless b*stards who don't get weepy over pound puppies? ;)
I am apparently the only human being on the planet who doesn't watch american idol or grey's anatomy... should I feel bad about this?? probably not as bad as i should feel about my guilty pleasure of all VH1 reality shows... ;-)
