11 Summer Obessions

It's been ages since I've had a Top 10 list! I don't know about you, but this blog is looking freaky to me. I need to work on it some more. Yikes! But I was thinking of some new lists on my way to work the other day, and thought it would be fun to start posting them again.

So here's a list page I did about my obessions this summer - 11 not 10! LOL!
1. Bruce Springsteen. I saw him in concert this summer and can't stop listening to his music, which is my typical summer soundtrack. Badlands is my new favorite Bruce song.
2. Superheroes. Summer's not complete to me without some big blockbuster movies. I love Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man. I also like Hulk and Hancock, too. And of course, Dark Knight!!!
3. Stoners. I love the Apatow gang. I love their movies. I hate when I read about how they are guy movies because my sis and I see them all and laugh our asses off. Seth Rogen is def. one of my new heroes. He and James Franco were so awesome in Pineapple Express.
4. Olympics and Michael Phelps. I love watching that boy swim. Swimming and gymnastics were pretty exciting this year. But I'll watch any sport, reallly. Love cheering for Team USA, learning about random countries, those dramatic interviews and Bob Costas! Especially his interview with W. That was a hoot.
5. The Dog Whisperer. I could watch this show all day long. Love Cesar Milan. He's taught me so much about being a calm assertive dog owner. LOL!
6. Social networking. I love Plurk! I love Facebook! I got to hang out with my Plurk friends at CHA and my H.S. and college friends who I got back in touch with through FB. I've kinda given up on Twitter and MySpace, but I'm still around there too. There's always some one to talk to, friends to find, games to play, photos to look at. Great for keeping me distracted!
7. My cons. I wear my cons almost everyday. Even to work. I have gone through so many pairs over the years. I'm down to black and yellow now. But I just feel the most like me when I'm in them!
8. CHA. I had so much fun at the CHA show in Chicago. Got to hang out with my pals and make lots of cute crafty things.
9. My dog. This summer has been all about Penny. I never thought I'd have my own dog. But Penny and I are a good pair and I just adore her.
10. Coupling. I saw an episode of this British sitcom at a party this summer and I then watched all fours seasons on Netflix online! It is such a riot. And I totally love Jack Davenport (I even tuned into Swingtown to watch him!).
11. Vampires. While I still love Jacob, I'm an Edward girl. I can't remember the last time I read anything as obsessively as the Twilight series. I started Twilight and read all the way through to Breaking Dawn in less than two weeks. I don't know what it is - the writing can be overly sappy and repetitive, there are some big holes in the stories - but I just love the characters. I miss them. I read all the extras on Stephenie Meyer's web site, including the first chapter of Midnight Sun, and I can't wait for the movie now!


So what have been your favorite things about the summer???? Please share!
