Things I'm enjoying...

1) Countdown with Keith Olbermann (MSNBC, nightly) - I've always enjoyed Olbermann, very much during the SportsCenter years with Dan Patrick (a dynasty never to be touched). This is an interesting, entertaining look at some bullet-point daily stories. It's not as entertaining as The Daily Show (I watch both), but they have an interesting voice, not as liberally biased as some outlets, and not Fox News (gag).

2) The soundtrack to The Incredibles (Michael Giacchino) - fun, mod, swinging, jazzy - whatever you want to call it. Great music to have in the background during the day.

3) Dancer in the Dark DVD - OK, maybe this isn't to be "enjoyed", but I watched it again the other day (maybe my fourth or fifth time through) and it's just a knockout of a film. It slowly involves you in the lives of the characters, then kicks the plot and the music in. And Bjork gives an amazing performance. Also lots of fun to see the extras on the DVD to see all the work that goes into creating a Dogma 95 movie musical.
