Emergent

Five essentially insignificant things I've become aware of (as opposed to having them humming in the background somewhere) and, in some cases, actually began liking this year:

1.) American Idol

2.) House

3.) Bones (why are all these on Fox??)

4.) YouTube

5.) Naruto (thanks mainly to the daughter)

One thing that continues to hum in the background and will likely stay there: The DaVinci Code.
