After viewing another blog I've been inspired to add a few things. You'll see in the sidebar my "now playing" and "now listining" lists. Of course my now listening is a little tough, since with my ipod I listen to lots of stuff at once, but my new purchases tend to float to the top.
Also, I added two links under my Favorite Links. Letterboxing is a hobby i'm thinking of getting into. And Serenity - well anything by Joss Whedon deserves star treatment, but as a Firefly fan I'm very excited about this movie. Too bad I have to wait till september.
Also updated a few pictures of the little ones in my life - furry and otherwise.
Enjoy!
My thoughts on whatever passes through my line of sight.

Happy Earth Day
Yes, April 22nd is Earth Day, so the nutty crunchy tree-hugger in me says go enjoy some earth, before it's all gone!
Ten ways to turn that global frown upside down
By David Roberts
20 Apr 2005
Scientists estimate that we've already raised global temperatures by one degree Fahrenheit with our hapless spewing of greenhouse gases, and another one or two degrees are pretty much inevitable no matter what we do. Unstable weather, droughts, floods, and rising oceans are the likely result. We're in the midst of the sixth great extinction, with perhaps half of extant species thought to be on their way out. Fresh water is disappearing around the globe and deserts are expanding. The world's two most populous countries, China and India, are industrializing at warp speed. Toxic pollutants have contaminated even the most remote and undeveloped regions of the planet.
You can change the world -- one organic Cheeze Puff at a time.This Earth Day, here's what you can do to turn it all around!
10.Next time you're shopping for Cheeze Puffs to eat while you watch Desperate Housewives, choose organic.
9.Inflate your car tires to their proper pressure. If you and the other 136,000,000 or so automobile owners in the U.S. do so, we won't need Arctic Refuge oil for almost two more years!
8.Sign an internet petition. Any of them will do. After all, change is built one form letter at a time.
7.When you visit a public bathroom and wash your hands, dry them with the blow dryer instead of paper towels. Of course, who knows who's touched that thing, so maybe just grab one paper towel to keep between your hand and the button. And another to open the bathroom door (ew!).
6.On Earth Day, ride your bike to work. See you out there next year!
5.When you buy your next six-pack of Diet Coke, don't forget to snip the little plastic rings. Think of the baby rats at the landfill.
4.Pick your favorite endangered species and write a short poem about it. Put it up on the bulletin board of your local co-op. Each one teach one!
3.Distinguish real environmentalists from fakers. In the office, at church, out with friends, or on Grist's blog, if you hear opinions that don't adhere to eco-gospel, stop, drop, and cajole. Remember, being green means you already know the truth!
2.Skip a shower. And encourage a friend to recycle. But not in that order.
1.Spread the word. Put an "Every Day Is Earth Day" bumper sticker on your car and drive around town!

And who says that pets and their owners don't look alike....
Gettin' the Heck out of Dodge...
As the busi-ness of the spring season continues, I am taking my one night this week at home to pack for my impending trip to Florida. It's my grandmother's 85th birthday so the whole family is traveling. Yup, mom, dad, Cara, Andre & little Tia will spend the weekend with the Pizza-Carluccio clan in sunny Florida.
It should be a good trip, if a quick one. As happy as I am to be going and seeing my mom's side of the family (which we don't get to do very often) I'm even more looking forward to having Monday off. Life & work have been so crazy, I'm hoping to spend the whole day doing NOTHING.
yea - nothing!

Interesting News Bits
Spring is definitly here, along with a ba-zillion events (work, friends, family - got it all) so my life has been kinda crazy. Therefore my blogging has been lapsing more than I want it to.
So in lieu of any intersting thoughts that I have, here are a few news articles that have made me go hmmmmmm lately - All courtesy of Grist Magazine.

Is there hope that we won't be living in a enviromentally catastrophic world in 20 years?
