Travel - I'm ooking forward to some upcoming trips. In May, we've rented a cabin in Ashe County for Memorial Day weekend. It's the 5th installment of my Trips to all of the NC Counties. We've got some awesome things planned, including horseback rides, hiking, and tubing. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate. Also, I'm headed to Chicago in just 44 days!

New Adventures - On Sunday I went hiking at Occoneechee State Natural Area in Hillsborough. It was a cool place. I posted some pictures in Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecugreg/). I'm definitely headed back.

Movies - Netflix has turned out to be a god investment. I saw The Departed over the weekend. Good movie, but the dialogue was a bit over-the-top. I'm not bothered by profane tirades, but they should atleast be believable dialogues. Nevertheless, good movie. I've got Transformers on my desk.

Music - Wow, it's a guilty pleasure, but that new Leona Lewis song - "Bleeding Love" rocks my socks. I've played it over and over again. Know what song I FREAKING HATE? That God awful Taylor Swift song "Teardrops on my Guitar". Someone should dropkick her.

TV - I really think Ryan Seacrest has the hots for David Archuleta. That is all.

Politics - Why won't Hillary just go away? Wow, I can't believe that she's making a comeback.
