• religulous - funny, engrossing, political and thought-provoking. And Maher isn't an atheist.
• sunshine - I've always been a little bit obsessed with danny boyle films and this one did nothing to change that. Beautiful sci-fi.
• rachel getting married - wonderful
• the duchess - fascinating woman; I got a little tired of Keira's pouty-face (which she had on display most of film). good not great

• does something creative because he loves it not because of where/what it can get him.
• puts others first (at least 50% of the time - I'm not looking for Christ)

• Stable and reliable (dare I say boring?)
• Has interests different than mine and wants to "share" what he knows about something rather than "teach"

• artistic "ambitions"
• knowledge of pop culture (I'm almost embarrassed to write this one down but for a time it really mattered)

• I'd like to run a marathon on a beautiful island somewhere, maybe bali
• runners make up a quirky, yet supportive subculture. I mi...

• it will be a terrible time suck
• could be that I'm just romanticizing the experience because I'm reading murakami's book about running right now
• pedicures will only draw attention to blisters
• sore leg muscles
• distance running inevitably turns you a little bit odd
• I'll start to obsess over "the perfect podcast" - I don't run with music unless doing intervals

• just the way you are - reminds me of riding in the car with my mom
• mr. roboto - styx
• stone in love - journey

• sunshine on my shoulders - john denver
• those were the days - mary hopkin ...

• We had a meal at a spanish restauarant in havana that will hands down go down in my history as the most hedonistically gargantuan I have ever had. A paella arrived that literally weighed about 8 pounds. I wish I were kidding.
• I had an amazing salsa lesson from Amelki in Vinales that has single-handedly turned me into a latin dance afficionado. It's now on my to-do list for 2008 (learn to properly s...
