A few of my favourite things. *
Red Velvet Cake - Despite being aggressively not southern, I have a deep and abiding love for this. Sort of chocolatey, moist, and topped off with cream cheese icing. I've considered making it from scratch, but you can get it in a mix from Duncan Hines or William-Sonoma. Note to my bakery: Adding red food colouring to your dry-ass vanilla cupcakes and frosting them with cream cheese icing does not Red Velvet make.
Still, if you're like me and could do with the further embiggening of your ass, Philosophy makes a 3-in-1 that almost smells as good as the real thing.
The end of the black nailpolish trend - The new hot nail colours for spring are going to be soft metallics and pastels. Excellent. I'll finally be able to wear black again without someone seeing my nails and saying "Lindsay Lohan/Paris Hilton/Some other stupid spoiled whore was wearing that in People." Right now I've got Chanel Noir Ceramic on my left hand, Urban Decay Perversion on my right, and my new Lippmann Hit Me With Your Best Shot just came in the mail.
"Second Cousin" - Performed by John Tartaglia (of Avenue Q), written by Gary Adler & Phoebe Kreutz. I found it on a bootleg I got on the internets. It's a song about the special kind of love a man has for his second cousin (If we were British royalty, she'd be my perfect match, you see). So wrong, but it never fails to put me in a good mood. If there were any justice, this song would be properly recorded and played every Xmas.
Grapefruit-based fragrances - The second we get some weather over 40 degrees, I'm sending the vanillas back into storage and whipping these bitches out. I don't know what happened, but these suddenly smell really good on my skin. Scent of Peace, Baby Doll, and Addict 2 are all at the top of my list.
Cadbury Mini Eggs - To think I wasted all those years choking down those disgusting Cream eggs when these were available. After a co-worker introduced me to them last year, I waited in anticipate for Easter. Now that they're here, I'll do what I did last year: Eat a 1-pound bag in the space of 48 hours, and then swear to never touch them again. Good times.
* It should be assumed that Diet Coke, Men's Pocky, and Fight Club are automatically included on any future lists of this nature.

Okay, I've scoured the internets...where did you find John Tartaglia singing "Second Cousin"? I've found everything else, including sheet music, but the audio escapes me.
(bangs head against wall)
Hi Brandon,
I originally found the MP3 through the now-defunct Avenue Q message boards. Look for the bootlegs of John Tartaglia's "Ad Liberty" or "Spotlight on Broadway" shows. The audio quality of "Spotlight on Broadway" is significantly better.
Hope this helps.
