Christian Kane - Thinking of You
Heard this on the show Leverage. Had no idea this guy could really sing. Like the song, but not really into country music.

The Cupcakery
Best cupcakes in Vegas! Especially the Southern Belle (red velvet), but the Trip to Graceland is spectacular (peanut butter, banana, and BACON) if they have it.

beverlynoelle BACON IN CUPCAKES?! Sold!
Leverage - The Morning After Job
Not their best (that would be the Rashomon Job), but certainly good and easier than trying to watch the jumpy video from TNT.COM when your DVR lost signal during the broadcast. I love this show.

Ticketmaster
Expensive, but worked fine. Would avoid them if I could.
saunieindiego What are you going to see?
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Excellent. Not the SAME as the book, but well acted and directed. It would help a good deal to read the book first. And since it is one of the best books in the last decade, you should have read it by now anyway.

Yes, there is an English translation, but listen to the Swedish and read the subtitles. Don't you want the complete Swedish experience?

We Rule Quests for iPad App
Games without written rules can be played, but at some point you are going to get frustrated when you THINK you are doing everything right, but nothing right happens. I started the first quest, then seemed to discover that you couldn't get another quest object from someone you had already gotten an object from. Unless you have LOTS of neighbors and they are all ACTIVE, forget questing. Other than that the games works the same as before. Grow Magic Cauilflower and don't worry so much about flakey neighbors who never finish their requests. The game is pretty slow, but that can be a good thing as you aren't tied to it24/7.
SoundHound App
I just wish it would play the songs I want to hear. Some of the recommendations are WAY wrong.
French Quarter Finder App
I think the name of this app is wrong. The app is myTown. Relatively fun, but not enough people playing it to connect with.
Last.fm App
The mobile version is not as good as the internet version.
Synecdoche, New York
I love, love, love, Philip Seymour Hoffman. I hate, hate, hate this movie.

Goodreads App
More useful than I thought it would be. I particularly like the easy ways to more read, currently reading (with page marks) and to be read. The rest of the app, not so much. I still like LibraryThing better.

Inglourious Basterds
My internet connection is WAY too slow to download movies in less than DAYS. This does nothing for me.

FarmVille by Zynga App
Since it doesn't work nearly the same as the internet version, (no crafting, no market stalls, etc.) I hesitate to ever use it. It is handy if you absolutely have to harvest and you don't have access to the internet, but I never use it unless I absolutely have to.
Doodle Jump & Pocket God Cheats (Combo Pack) App
Was cute at first, but the endless torture you have to put your small people through is ultimately boring....unless you ARE a sadist.

Kindle App
Works just like on a Kindle. Downloads instantly. I though I would hate reading on it but there are certain circumstances (book not available, 15 plane flight), that this is EXACTLY what you want to read a book on.
TripAdvisor Hotels Flights Restaurants App
Excellent, concise, wonderful. Just as good as their great internet sire.
· app from iTunes
Quordy App
I love the concept, but am frustrated by the lack of common words that I think should be in their word list. They should get a word list from Boggle.
· app from iTunes
Bejeweled 2 + Blitz App
OK, to a certain level, but later boring and repetitive. Not near as much fun as Plant vs. Zombies.
Plurk App
Failed utterly.
beverlynoelle What the heck is thi?!
Reason App
Excellent for short informative articles about the unreasoning surrounding government processes. This could be depressing for optimists, but I find it full of great information, if only someone would implement it.
