♥ on my radar right now
♥ The Space Jam soundtrack. Who doesn't love a movie starring the cast of Looney Toons and Michael Jordan? In my opinion, there is no better movie, and its greatness can be attributed in large part to its excellent soundtrack of pump-me-up songs. If you only download one song, make it "Basketball Jones." (Cheech and Chong will make you pee your pants.)
♥ Get Shorty. Ok, it was popular a decade ago, but Elmore Leonard's crime novel is such a page-turner I feel like I would be lying if I didn't tell you I was incapable of putting it down. Chili Palmer is probably the best good/bad guy I've ever read about.
♥ The Kroenke-McMahon smackdown. For those who haven't been keeping up, a quick recap: Kroenke, who owns the Pepsi Center as well as our Nuggets, gave the Pepsi Center to Vince McMahon (chairman of the WWE, though please note for the record that I wasn't keeping track of events involving the WWE prior to this debacle) for the live taping of Monday Night Smackdown. But then the Nugs made the playoffs, and Kroenke needed the Pepsi Center for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers. The solution? McMahon denounces our capital city in favor of Los Angeles (ouch!). I'm hoping for a cage match...
♥ Law & Order: SVU. We all know I love me some crime dramas, and this is by far the best-acted I've seen. I can't decide if I am more obsessed with Olivia Benson, Elliot Stabler, or the fact that Ice-T was given a role on a serious show. But be warned: once the theme song has ended and you hear that first gong, you are obligated to watch the episode in its entirety; it's impossible to pry yourself away.
♥ Bargain hunting. I'm on a pretty tight budget these days what with my unemployment and all (please note that I have now applied for literally fifteen jobs), but that doesn't mean my love fo designer duds has dimmed. I recently bought a bea-you-tee-ful Kathy purse at Marshall's for a mere $40, and--get this--a super cute Ed Hardy t-shirt at Costco (no, I'm not joking) for $20! I also have a pair of earrings that you'd swear I got for $200 at Juicy Couture, but you'd be wrong: $8.50 at Claire's. I am becoming such a pro at this!
♥ Tea. Doesn't stain your teeth or give you nasty morning breath like coffee does (though I'll never give up coffee...), is full of healthy antioxidants, and packs a pretty powerful dose of caffeine! I'm not a big fan of green tea, and for those who agree with me, don't fear: this by no means limits your options. I love red teas; my favorite is the Pure Honey Bush (find it at Wystone's at Belmar in Lakewood).
