Here are some of mine, currently:
Listening:
Coldplay. I can’t seem to get enough of this dish, even served Cold.
Aqualung. Marc burned this for me and I find it an interesting mix of Coldplay and Radiohead, with enough personality to make it their own. (thanks Marc)
White Stripes. I’m just jealous that Tanya got to go to the concert on Saturday.
Playing:
Neverwinter Nights. I’m still stuck on this game – given that I’m on limited playing hours lately, it’s a slow process… but still enjoyable. I have realized one thing however – I hate opening boxes and chests to find stuff. It slows gameplay immensely.
Knights of the Old Republic. Not actually playing it (don’t have it yet), but have been anticipating the PC release for some time, since I don’t own an X-Box.
Watching:
Angel. I was getting tired (really, really tired) of the Spike/Angel “I’m a better vampire with a soul” banter. But that was before mexican wrestling and the return of Lindsay. Anticipating where this will go.
CSI: Miami. I’m surprised how much I like this show. Forensics (even “pop” TV forensics) fascinates me. And I’m glad to see that Emily Procter got a full time gig after her brief Republican stint on West Wing.
Alias. We’ll see how it goes. I still hold that the first season is (and will remain) the best.
So, what’s your current media fix? Help me expand my horizons (and answer relatives’ pleas for holiday gift ideas).

Just got the most recent Neko Case CD which is a little k.d. lang, Lucinda Williams and Be Good Tanyas all swirled together. I’m not sure what it means that I’m becoming an alt country fan (if “alt country” and “fan” are the words I’m looking for), but Neko helps put babies to sleep.
As for what I’m playing, well, I’m still stuck on solitaire, but some day I might graduate to Tetris.
Ooo. Be Good Tanyas.
How could I leave them out of my list? I’m addicted.
Neave has some great arcade faves: Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Tetris. I’m starting to wean myself off the hardcore addiction, but I can’t help but enjoy revisiting the games of my youth.
Listening: Fountains of Wayne. _Welcome Interstate Managers_ is fantastic (especially “Stacy’s Mom”), but I’m still pretty hooked on _Utopia Parkway_ (especially “Red Dragon Tattoo”).
