You will probably have noticed that I keep a fairly up-to-date list of what I read on the side of the blog. Why? No reason, other than you might want to know just what makes me write the things I do.

In response to a suggestion from another blog, I thought I would expand on this concept just a bit. If you have no interest, feel free to scroll down.

In addition to what I'm reading...

What I'm Watching:

Not much, having made a serious effort to eliminate television, but I have secured the means (finally) to receive a digital signal. As such, I am ashamed to say I have begun to watch a bit. Mostly NFL football, as we head to playoff season. The trick is to anticipate the beer/softcore porn commercials to avoid seeing the whole reason I ditched TV in the first place.

Other than that, some A-Team reruns on RTV, On the Road Again Spain with Mario Batali, and Mythbusters via Netflix. Now that's living the life!

What I'm Listening to:

Aimee Mann, Aimee Mann and more Aimee Mann, mostly in the car. My children have developed an allergic rash from this. Also some Rebecca Pidgeon, which makes the children beg for Aimee Mann. Oh, and Mozart's Great Mass in C Minor, thanks to Sharon. Finally, fitting to the season, Christmas music courtesy of the Chieftains, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole and, um, Aimee Mann.

What I'm Playing:

Age of Empires III, The War Chiefs, for Mac. And basketball, thanks to my forced coaching gig.

What I'm Drinking:

Red Stripe and Chartreuse-- but not at the same time. And 200 fl. oz. of diet cola per day. Do I have a problem?

Traditional Personality Type:

Choleric (really, Sanguine-Choleric), but you can call it ENTP if you want.

Favorite Saints:

The Mother of God first and foremost, but that might be a cop-out. Otherwise, St. Francis de Sales, St. Edmund Campion, St. Louis, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Thomas More, St. Jane Francis Fremiot de Chantal, St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, St. Pius V, St. Gemma Galgani, and Blessed Columba Marmion.

Now you know. But it could change tomorrow.

P.S. Aimee Mann painted that portrait of U.S. Grant for some reason. Really.
