Things in 2011 that I have loved
This restaurant- Paciarino (pah-chi-ah-reeno)
http://www.paciarino.com/
Are you kidding me? THIS is Italian food, folks. Not that Olive Garden shit. This is true Italian food, simple, amazing, affordable. The last time I ate pasta like this was literally IN Italy. Their limoncello dessert was absolutely to die for. If you don't eat here at SOME point in your life, I don't care to know you.
Ok, maybe that was a little harsh.
This coffee shop- Mornings in Paris

This hobby- Knitting
https://www.ravelry.com/
If you don't knit, you should. It's amazing- challenging, productive, even sorta peaceful. Ravelry is a great resource with patterns for every level. The only thing that I can imagine will keep me sane this winter is sitting in my rocking chair, knitting.
This band/album- Foster the People/Torches
This band and album have ruined my life in the best possible way. They are all I listen to. It has been a long time since I have found what I consider to be a perfect album- a CD that I can listen to fully without any identifiable flaw or need to cease or skip any particular song. I think the last album that I could say that about was Crisis by Alexisonfire.
This single- Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye & Kimbra
There is not really anything more to be said. Kimbra's album Vows just came out and is incredible, and although I do love Gotye in this so so so so much, I'm not the biggest fan of his solo work. However, putting these two together is the best decision anyone could have ever made.
Other things include:
Everything about the conclusion of Harry Potter
The band Thomas Wesley Stern
Discovering that pedicures are awesome
Prosecco
This season of True Blood (I have hated every other season until now)
Finally doing yoga
