Hello, Blogging World

Hello, Blogging World...or at least hello to the 2 readers that actually still read my blog since I have been quite behind in updating my blog.

The last couple of weeks have been busy (but that's pretty normal). I have been of the total VBS mindset for the last couple of weeks trying to knock out a good bit of work. Plus, I was able to make a quick trip to Dallas for a few days (woohoo!!!!).

Since there is not much new to share with you guys, I thought I would do a Top Ten list for you.

1. Favorite News Story: If you haven't heard about this story, you have to take a moment to read it. Essentially, 4 college-age, spanish guys working on a science project wanted to see what kind of pictures they could take with a $150 camera attached to a balloon. The specifics are much more complex, but the story is amazing. Here is a link to their blog detailing this project. There is a google translator on the page, so just set it to your language of choice. Also, the picture above is from their balloon camera.

2. Favorite New Late Night Show: Late Night with Jimmy Fallon...if you haven't seen it, you need to take a moment to watch it. Yes, I am a Fallon-Fan, but the show gets better every night, and it's a little more fun than the traditional late night show.

3. Favorite Radio Program: Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me...I am a bit of an NPR geek, and find this show hilariously funny. You can download free podcasts of it, too.

4. Favorite Television Show: The Office...Yes, I am an Office addict. Give me a quote, and I can tell you the episode it came from.

5. Favorite Book: Under the Overpass...Yes, I have told everyone I know about this book, and while it isn't a great piece of literature, it is a moving story that really makes you think.

6. Favorite Appliance: My Dyson Vacuum Cleaner...Was there any doubt about whether or not I would slip that in there? I vacuum everyday. Of course it is my favorite appliance.

7. Favorite Fast Food Discovery: That Sonic sells bananas...Sonic ice and a banana all in one trip. That is absolutely marvelous.

8. Favorite Game/Puzzle: Sudoku...it's the Rain Man in me that finds this puzzle so fascinating.

9. Favorite Article of Clothing: Shoes...I am a shoe-aholic, and the number of shoes in my closet proves it.

10. Favorite Time of the Year: March Madness...My bracket is doing well (except for the points I lost because of Wake Forest) and the weather is nice. What is not to like about March Madness?

I was waiting for "Satiny Wonderment, Part 3"!

However, it was fun reading your favorites list.
