Faves

I’ve discovered some new personal favorites that I’ve enjoyed watching, listening to or eating (as appropriate) these days, and I thought I’d share them since I’ve got the day off today and should obviously be studying or doing something more productive.

Favorite fast food while attempting to do a low-carb diet: Wendy’s. The fine followers of Dave Thomas really know how to help a guy along in his quest to drop a few pounds this winter. You see, I always gave up around Day 3 of my previous diet attempts, but I’ve made it almost a month this time, and I think I owe it all to the fact that Wendy’s will make a cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce and packaged in a nice little dish, if you simply just ask them to cut the bun. Oh, and they’ll also give you chili (darn good chili!) instead of fries.

Favorite offbeat musical group: Flight of the Conchords. I can’t recall how I finally discovered these guys since we don’t have the fancy channels and I’ve been oblivious to their show on HBO. But I’m a fan of their whole catalog, particularly “Business Time”:

Favorite TV show: anything in HD. I’ve recently discovered that I will only watch shows if they’re in high definition, and I have found myself watching most anything in HD. Case in point: the other night I settled on some show called “Sumo School” on one of those HD travel channels. It was about these Japanese guys training to be Sumo wrestlers. Somehow the fact it’s in HD makes any show fascinating. Although it probably doesn’t matter what I watch, since I fall asleep on the couch regardless.

Ok, it’s about time for a Wendy’s lettuce-wrap burger now. So what are your faves these days?
