Witty and/or Informative Title Goes Here

A few things that are rocking my world right now:
  • The new Joanna Newsom album, though I've only managed to get through the first six songs so far - it's a triple LP - over two hours of music! "The Good Intentions Paving Company" is my favorite track at the moment. The way she sings the word "baby" gets me every time.
  • The BYU men's basketball team. This team has been a lot of fun to watch. I feel sorry for fans who deprive themselves of enjoyment because "the team hasn't accomplished anything until they win an NCAA tournament game." It's sad that people would rather protect themselves from possible disappointment than enjoy the journey along the way. Watching Jimmer Fredette and co. play some beautiful basketball has definitely been a highlight of the winter.
  • Killer Bunnies! I heard about this game from a couple co-workers and decided to buy it without ever playing it beforehand. It was a wise impulse buy. My roommates and a few other friends have had a lot of fun killing each other's bunnies and trying to acquire the magic carrot. Once we learned the complex rules and nuances of the gameplay, it's been a blast.
  • I was tasked with putting together a Playlist of Awesomeness and it led me to finding some awesome new music, particularly some danceable ditties. Fantastic songs that I've been listening to as much as possible this week: "Bulletproof" by La Roux and "Heartbreak Make Me a Dancer" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor (a foxy Brit) and Freemasons, among others.
  • I really, really, really want to play disc golf. Hopefully the weather will cooperate soon.
I'm sure I could come up with a larger list, but my brain is tired. I should probably sleep soon.

  1. I agree that it was a wise impulse buy! I seem to keep having the second to last carrot somehow... I also am excited for disc golf to start soon. Go BYU!
