The Apocalypse of the World

I want to see it. I don't care if I'm alive for it, looking down on it from Heaven, up from Hell or have to be re-incarnated, but it's must-see TV.

Swiffer Dusters

My only experience with one came when I used one that had already been used. It worked well enough that it made me wonder, "What kind of magical cleaning powers could a fresh one have?"

Kids on Leashes

What a sight to see! If I ever do that, though, kill me.

Dunkin' Donuts

I feel like I've had to settle on DD because of a lack of Krispy Kreme factories in the area. Also, I waaaaaaaay prefer the bakery we used to have on my Main Street, which was incredibly delicious (until it closed).

Lady Gaga's Telephone Video

Her video for "Bad Romance" is the greatest video I've ever seen (which is only fitting, considering it's the catchiest song I've ever heard). I'd put the video, however, more on par with "Paparazzi" (a level below "Bad Romance"), if for no other reason that the inter-cutting of song with narrative.

Buddhism

I'm sort of surprised it hasn't taken off more in America. It hasn't, at least as far as I've noticed.

Tacos

All Mexican food tastes the same, which is cool because all Mexican food is great. Tacos were my family's food of choice for the Super Bowl until the Taco Bell nearby closed -- since then, we've had to make due with appetizers and other finger foods.

Bluetooth

I never knew I could shut off Bluetooth on my phone (which I never used) until two months before I got a new one. I wonder what that could have done to improve my battery life.

UGGs

While I can't speak about them in terms of fashion, they DO keep feet very warm. I forget whose pair I tried on (or at least got my feet somewhat into), but it was like Heaven (or should I say a pleasant Hell?) for my toes.

Star Trek

I've never seen an episode of the TV show, only the movie. I absolutely loved everything about the movie except for the fact that you know no one will die (because it's the origin story), so a lot of the suspense is taken out of it.

Star Wars

Sadly, I haven't seen them in a long time, which is why I'm planning on re-watching them this week. However, I'd rather watch Hurley's (from Lost) version of Return of the Jedi, which he was writing when he found himself in 1977 -- I'm sure it would have been the greatest thing I've ever seen.

LOLcats

They're sort of my favorite thing ever. Picking my favorite is like picking a favorite kid -- I just can't do it -- but I will leave you with a special little something.

The iPad

I get who they're marketing it to, and I know it isn't for me. I'm just banking on getting a free Kindle because of Amazon Prime.

Movie Spotlight: Glengarry Glen Ross

(A new feature on My Two Cents. In two sentences -- as usual -- I will tell you why I think you should watch a movie that I don't think you've seen.)

This film has the greatest combination of writing (David Mamet) and acting (Pacino, Spacey, Lemmon, Baldwin, Arkin) I think I've ever seen. Plus, you'll never see an A-Lister (Spacey) get so verbally destroyed in a movie again (care of Al Pacino).

Girl Scout Cookies

Caramel DeLites (aka Samoas) are, far and away, the most delicious of all the cookies. I prefer Tim's scenario (on the Life & Times of Tim) of selling fake Louis Vuitton handbags, however.

Escargot

I'll never eat snails. However, if I had to, I'd call them "escargot" because the name is just fancy enough to make it tempting.

P.E.T.A.

I'm all for treating animals ethically, but can you all just not be so crazy? Thanks.

Fishing

I've only gone fishing once, and I out-caught my dad 2-0. I think I'm ready for the sea.

Wesley Snipes

He is in Passenger 57. The VHS for Passenger 57 holds a trailer for Jeff Speakman's "Street Knight," which is perhaps the greatest movie I've ever seen.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

My all-time favorite candy. While I like every variation I've tried -- peanut butter on the outside, white chocolate, dark chocolate -- old reliable is still the best.

Kit Kats

Like Twix, I like that you get two (or four!) of them because you can finish one and still know there's more. They may have replaced Reese's as my candy-to-get at Halloween, which I thought would never happen.

Plastic Beach

I haven't really listened to the Gorillaz since "Clint Eastwood." They're headlining Coachella, though, which tells me that maybe I should give them another shot.

Olympic Hockey

I watched more Olympic hockey this year -- roughly one half of the Gold Medal game -- than NHL hockey this year. I was especially upset with how quickly the game ended; it seemed like the U.S. cleared the puck, then all of a sudden Crosby cuts to the net and scores... huh?

Scrubs

I hate Zach Braff. With that said, I like Scrubs ten times more than I like Garden State, but I absolutely HATE Garden state.

George Clooney

I'm pretty sure the man can't make a bad movie. I'm planning on having a Clooney-double-feature-extravaganza soon, featuring Michael Clayton and Up in the Air.
