Things I'm liking right now

Bits and pieces of things and stuff that are good and cool:

This list of the most terrifyingly inspirational songs of the '80s. Of the "You're the Best" song from Karate Kid, the author has this to say: "It is completely acceptable to do any damn thing you want to this song. Whatever it is you’re about to do, Joe Esposito took seven weeks out of his life back in the '80s to write a little ditty about just how badass you are at it." Well, yeah.

Straight Cash, Homey -- a collection of unfortunate jersey choices by sports fans across this great nation.


The awesome birthday present I got from Lisa, which includes some of the greatest screwball comedy of all time.

Season three of Bones. I don't know if it'll end up in the pantheon of great shows, but the folks there seem to nail the balance of character development and crime procedural better than just about anyone at the moment.

Seasonal weather. Yeah, I freaked out a little when I heard the local radio folks drop the phrase "wind chill" this week, but the leaves are pretty, the air is crisp and I like wearing long-sleeve T-shirts. Plus, I got a new winter coat a couple weeks ago, so I'm set.

Friends preparing to have children.

Pie. But really, who doesn't like pie?
