topical

Things I like:

1) laughter among loyal friends and late nights out

2) half-day Fridays

3) Mad Men, Dexter, Spaced (worthwhile, thought-provoking television)

4) the new Metallica (finally, after a twenty year wait, an album worthy of their name)

5) a seat on the subway at 6:10am

6) my Ben Sherman shirts

7) integrity and dignity when faced with the duplicitous and insincere

8) intelligent discourse (college degree not required)

9) writing

10) reading good writing

11) cheesy, but fun, movies that go well with a hangover (Death Race, Shoot 'Em Up, The Ultimate Warrior, Hawk the Slayer, Crank, etc.)

12) the recent Nine Inch Nails album "The Slip" (a free download - thanks, Trent)

13) Arlene's Grocery for local music in an intimate setting ("God Save Queens" last Saturday)
