			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple weeks ago, my brotha-from-a-different-motha (Ben) hooked me up with <a href="http://mindyephron.blogspot.com/">Mindy&#8217;s website </a>- you know, the girl from THE OFFICE. It&#8217;s packed with fun &#8220;favorite things&#8221; of hers and other people she knows. Pretty neat! Then I was also enjoying Ciara&#8217;s website, which has been including a &#8220;<a href="http://ciaralira.wordpress.com/2007/06/21/great-idea-of-the-day-2/">Great Idea of the Day</a>&#8221; recurring post, which I love. So I thought &#8211; why not do something like this myself?</p>
<p>Well you&#8217;re all in luck because since this is the first trial balloon on this one, I&#8217;m throwing not one, not two, but THREE of my guilty pleasures your way. And if you call now, I&#8217;ll throw in this extra water-whipping attachment for free. So get ready, put down that Butterfingers, and get out a pencil and paper (no scraps because you don&#8217;t want to be losing it) to take notes.</p>
<p>In the category of best summer TV show series: <a href="http://www.fox.com/dance/">So You Think You Can Dance?</a> Wednesday nights on Fox. Plus, since it&#8217;s two hours right now, I can tape it and stretch it out for days while I eat between Bar Review class and essay writing. After my salsa lessons I have a special appreciation for these people. If I could choose a Super Power to have, it would be to dance like they do!</p>
<p>Favorite low-guilt dessert: <strong>Hershey&#8217;s Special Dark</strong>. You can go pick one up at your favorite Safeway location (or anywhere, but I just really like Safeway). Just 1/4 of the bar is satisfying, filling, tasty, and has only 55 calories!</p>
<p>Favorite DVD Series, soon to be back to Primetime: <a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index">LOST</a>. I take personal responsibility for getting four people hooked on this show, and we all couldn&#8217;t be happier. Now it&#8217;s going to be LOST parties all next season every Wednesday night, and I&#8217;m so excited! Totally check it out. You don&#8217;t even have to give me credit for how much you&#8217;ll like it. (Seasons 1 and 2 available on DVD, and Season 3 coming soon &#8211; then you&#8217;ll be up to date!) Season 4 begins in January 2008, so you have lots of time to catch up. <strong>Warning</strong>: Avoid spoilers at any cost!</p>

<p>This week we went to see the latest Marvel creation &#8211; the third (and final?) film in the Spiderman series. The film had gotten rave reviews, and we weren&#8217;t the only ones there. Evidently the film broke the all time record for sales in one day, reaching <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/05/AR2007050500491.html?nav=rss_artsandliving/entertainmentnews">$59 million on Friday</a>, its opening day. In addition to other movie-goers, the film was packed with villains, drama, good ol&#8217; fashion beatings, and the guy from &#8220;That 70s Show&#8221; (Topher Grace) that I always get mixed up with Spiderman actor Tobey Maguire, which I therefore thought was an odd casting choice. There were some &#8220;darker&#8221; scenes in this movie (like the newest Batman movie, and X-Men, they all have to go dark at one point or another). I say that in quotes, though, because even the darkness didn&#8217;t seem that dark. The themes carried well from previous movies and it was easy to follow. My complaint was that it almost seemed <em>too</em> simple at some points, and bordered on cheesy at others (think Jim Carrey in THE MASK). Maybe I&#8217;m getting spoiled watching a lot of movies with twists and surprises&#8230;who knows.</p>
<p>Anyway, I would love to hear what y&#8217;all thought of it, best/worst, and how many stars you&#8217;d give, but NO SPOILERS PLEASE, so that those who haven&#8217;t seen it don&#8217;t get scared away!</p>
