These are a few of my favorite things

The Daily Dish by Andrew Sullivan

I started reading this blog after my friend Dan introduced it to me, and I now eagerly look forward to checking it whenever I have a few free minutes at work. I might be a little biased because Mr. Sullivan is a very vocal supporter of Obama, but this blog is just so right on in so many ways. When I read his posts regarding politics I think "he is articulating how I feel about this issue or that issue so perfectly". I think what I like most about his blog is that he's not just spewing out opinions but that his posts are usually very well-thought out, witty, and informative (I mean, the guy does have a Ph.D in political science and is an acclaimed journalist). Check it out.

Made of Bricks by Kate Nash
A quirky, fun, catchy album with sometimes random and off the wall lyrics. For example, one of her songs is about having a skeleton as an imaginary friend. Good stuff.





Billy Joel music videos from the 80's

After seeing Mr Joel live last week, I browsed on YouTube for some of his older music videos. These need no explanation of why they make me happy in an instant:

Thank you God for the little things in life =)
