Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens....
Some of my other favorite things:
1.) I love smokehouse flavoring. K1 sent some "smokehouse flavor" almonds back from Cali with S1, and I cannot stop eating them. However, I realized that I am not really eating them for the almond flavor. It's all about that smoky taste.
My conclusion is that if I could just get me some straight smokehouse flavor, I could just eat that and avoid having to eat almonds, peanuts, or some other "carrier" that carries additional fat or calories. If someone would look into this, I'd appreciate it.
2.) I also love ramen soup. It's got yummy veggies (including the underutilized leafy greens) combined with nice tasty ramen noodles. I just heated up my leftover soup from last night so I can eat it for lunch, and I cannot describe how satisfied I am at the thought of eating it.
Now, on to things that are not my favorite:
Apparently, the Grammys happened last night. In other news, I don't care. Awards ceremonies are a joke in general, but particularly the Grammys. Basically, they are a chance for the music industry to heap awards on crappy pop artists who had commercially successful albums in the preceding year. You never see someone whose album tanked picking up five statues.
The Oscars may be cliched (for example, the best way to win Best Actress is for a beautiful woman to put on a bunch of weight and be ugly -- in the mind of the Academy, what could be a tougher acting job?), but at least the movies that win awards are generally the more thoughtful offerings. No one's going to give Best Picture to Revenge of the Sith or Wedding Crashers even if they were some of the top-grossing movies of 2005.
Maybe I should clarify. I am not necessarily saying the U2, or whoever else won awards, necessarily released crappy music. My point is simply that Grammys are generally heaped on whichever artists had breakout albums regardless of artistic merit. I mean, Milli Vanilli won Grammys before people found out they were fakers.

You have learned well young paduwan. Smokehouse flavor is the key to being a great ninja. Ramen is the second key. In other news, I just found out that the next great ninja is from UK. Somehow i'm disillusioned.
In any case, you deserve a grammy for your list of favorite things. :)
wait, how can you KNOW where the next great ninja is coming from?
don't ninjas come out and destroy you when you least expect it?
In other words, if you know who this ninja is and where s/he is coming from, doesn't that mean that s/he is already NOT a great ninja?
deep thoughts, I'm telling you....
