The Tudors
The final season of The Tudors. I was mildly disappointed.

Eels - Tomorrow Morning (Deluxe Version)
I tagged this song on Shazzam one morning when I heard it on KXT. It became my theme song for a couple of days. Then I added the entire Eels library to my Grooveshark station, which was overkill. But this is a cool song.
· $0.99 song "Spectacular Girl" from iTunes
amyuhrich I love the Eels! I need to listen to more of their stuff...
Every Word by Amazon Digital Services
I am obsessed with Kindle, and this game only feeds my obsession. I love word games, and this one is great for the Kindle.
amyuhrich I didn't realize you could get games for the Kindle. I love word games! How do you play this one?
ashleyblyth It gives you jumbled letters, and your main goal is to figure out what the longest word you can make with them. That's how you get to the next level. The more words you make (and the longer they are), the more points you get! It's addicting!
amyuhrich That sounds SO fun. I am the word queen! Or so I like to think...I bet this gets hard?
A Taste of Magic by Tracy Madison
Cute chick lit complete with quirky family, post-divorce angst, and a gay best friend. Be warned, A Taste of Magic is the name of the main character's bakery, so you may find yourself craving cake and brownies!
· $6.99 book from Amazon
amyuhrich Oohhh I probably shouldn't read this, then...I have enough trouble with my cake cravings as it is.
Easy A
HA! Easy A is a laugh-out-loud comedy chock-full of wit and zingers. I watched it three times before mailing it back to Blockbuster. I think I'll have to buy it and make it one of my comfort movies. Emma Stone is adorable. Penn Bagly is the perfect amount of quiet hotness and self deprecation. Great direction, great soundtrack, great cast.
· movie from Blockbuster
amyuhrich I thought the trailer made it look cute, so it's nice to hear it's getting good reviews. I'll probably watch this soon :)
At the King's Command by Susan Wiggs
I love me some historical fiction, and this did not disappoint. It's a second edition, republished under a new title. It's the first of a series of three. I found it to be a quick read with likable characters. Slightly less predictable than your typical romance novel. If you like historical romance, go for it.

Fringe: Season 02
I've recently been turned onto Fringe. It's a very sci-fi version of Bones + CSI rolled into one show.
· movie from Blockbuster
gkruis So you're hooked?
ashleyblyth I'm so hooked! I never understood the Pacey love until Fringe! I love Astrid and may have a wee girl-crush on Olivia. I don't even care how bizarre some of the plots get -- Fringe is very entertaining. It's the one show I can't multi-task while watching.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Who knew Jake Gyllenhaal had it in him?! I enjoyed this movie. It's nothing epic, but it's a fun action movie.
· movie from Blockbuster
dive_philospher definitely a fun, enjoyable movie. you think they'll come out with a sequel?
ashleyblyth Probably a sequel. Hollywood loves its sequels! And I'd watch it. Wouldn't you?
Sex and the City 2
I'll be watching this tonight. Thanks, Blockbuster!
· movie from Blockbuster
gkruis live up to the hype?
ashleyblyth It was pretty good. Quite different from the first one. Worth renting.
SemtexGirl I thought the first one was better. But that isn't really saying much. Nothing can compare to how good the show was.

P.S. Didn't you think the Liza Minnelli cameo was incredibly random?
ashleyblyth Yes, the Liza "All the Single Ladies" bit was totally out of nowhere! But the joke Miranda made about Liza Minneli magically appears at any wedding that gay was worth the randomness of it all.
Mandakinnnns Wait! blockbuster's still around??
gkruis blockbuster is such an important part of my childhood, it will be sad when it's gone.
Twitter App
A must-have!
Groupon App
Again, the app is kind of redundant if you get the emails, but you can save your CC info and make purchases from the app if you aren't going to get to a computer.
Adobe Photoshop Express App
Very handy to touch up my photos taken on my iPhone.
Pandora Radio App
I love Pandora! I listen to Pandora via my docked iPhone all the time.
· app from iTunes
Words With Friends Free App
Challenge me to a game!
LinkedIn App
Sure, why not.
Bizzy App
If you live in a city with Bizzy and have an iPhone, put this app in your Social Media folder.
bestfriend What is bizzy??
ashleyblyth Bizzy.com is a new crowdsourcing website. I guess it's similar to Yelp. It's a lot like this site, but it has a brick-and-mortar retail focus. At this point, I think they're in about 5 U.S. cities. Check it out!
Tumblr App
If you have a Tumblr account and an iPhone, put this app in your Social Media folder.
White Noise Lite App
This is what I sleep to, and sometimes work to, to drown out the noises of living in a busy apartment complex. Love it.
· app from iTunes
Amateur Surgeon App
Not for the feint of heart, but funny.
· app from iTunes
ashleyblyth I think it was a buck or two, but worth it if you like time-wasters. What you do in it is perform surgery on people using everyday items like a stapler and superglue. It's part time management, part puzzle, part hilarious, and part disgusting!
riddlefish Lol. I'd guess that from the bloody pizza cutter, haha.
Diner Dash App
I'm a big fan of Diner Dash, so this app on my iPhone was a no-brainer.
