Diane's Current Addictions:
Mad Men - One of the best things about having so many guests from the United States has been picking their brains to find out what new television shows might be worth watching. The top recommendations? Mad Men and John Adams. The latter isn't yet available for iTunes download, so I took a chance and purchased the first season of Showtime's Mad Men. Set at an advertising agency in 1960s New York city, the stylish Emmy-award winning show features an imperfect cast-of-characters that are both smart and complicated. What can I say? Max and I finished 13 episodes in a week! We're hooked! 
Election 2008 - I've written about my love of politics before, but my interest in all things election-related have reached a new high. Part of the reason is that my husband will be able to vote for the first time, having just been sworn in as a U.S. citizen last year. Max felt it important that he keep an open mind and make an informed decision. As a result, we've watched, read, and listened, with intense interest. Let me just say , I wish that politicians (on all sides) were held accountable for false and misleading ads because maybe the negativity would be minimized. After all, businesses are held accountable, why shouldn't politicians be? 
Sushi - I've eaten much more German cuisine the last several weeks because I wanted to introduce our American guests to some of this region's specialities like flammkuchen and zweibelkuchen. But to be honest, my taste buds have had their fill of German food and have turned their attention to other ethnic cuisines, especially sushi. My rolls of choice? Philadelphia roll (cucumber, cream cheese, salmon), Shrimp Tempura roll, and the Tuna-avocado roll.
iMovie - Recently, I learned how to edit my own video using iLife software that comes with my Macbook. (Click here if you missed the Oktoberfest video, my very first creation.) Now I am spending hours reviewing old digital video footage in the hopes of putting more segments together. Be warned! 
Bailey's Irish Cream - With the temperature quickly dropping, Max and I like to warm up with Baileys Irish cream as an after-dinner treat. I like that with Baileys, at least for me, a little goes a long way.I can't figure out who to tag. It's always the toughest part of memes. So, if you are reading these words and want to participate, consider yourself tagged.
