    One More Time

    Since I have not been too consistent in following new music, and since this decade seems like it will be over a lot sooner than we think, I have been thinking about what my favorite records and songs have been since we welcomed the millenium. One C.D. that comes to mind is Daft Punk's Discovery, which was released in 2001. The first track in the album, "One More Time" has got to be my favorite song of this new millenim and decade. Everytime I hear it, I am filled with joy and nostalgia. It is a great song and its video is so amazing and beautiful. I love this song! Lately, I feel as if I have been listening to it more than ever.

    Enjoy!!!

    What I've Been Watching

    For the last three weeks or so I have been hooked on the BBC science fiction drama, Torchwood. I have been getting the DVDs from Netflix, and I just finished watching the last episode of this BBC show's first season which first aired in the U.K. in 2006.
    Set in Cardiff, Wales, the show is about this organization that claims to be: "Outside the government, beyond the police. Fighting for the future on behalf of the human race. The 21st Century is when everything changes..." Torchwood is always called whenever anything strange or paranormal occurs. The show has touched on such fantastic themes like alien activity, spirits, evil fairies, immortality, and time travel via rifts in time... What's cool as well about this show is that all of its main characters are not what they seem at first. They are all hiding something, and flawed human beings. This adds some intense drama that goes beautifully well with all the sci-fi stuff.
    I love this show! I can't wait for the second season to come to the U.S.

    p.s. Fans of The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer will love this show!
