Favorite Things

My friends are posting lists of their favorite things on their blogs, and in the interests of killing time, I'm going to do so as well.

1. Avocados
Avocados are what got me off of cheese when I first went vegan. They're creamy and fatty and they've got kind of an almost-cheesy flavor. I probably eat too many avocados now, but they're finally back out of season so I'll be less likely to get them. Here's a few ways I like to eat avocados:
sliced, on toast
cubed, tossed with pasta and olive oil and nooch
with a spoon
sliced up, wrapped in a tortilla
mashed with some minced garlic and nooch, spread on toast
What do you like to do with avocados?

2. Video Games
Video games have always been a major recreation of mine, starting back in the day with the Atari 2600. I don't even remember how or why we got it, I was so young, but I remember playing the game with the tanks (Tank Battle?), and hangman on it. More recently, I have an Xbox 360, but it's at my parents' house, and mom won't ship it back to me until I get a job. So mostly I've been playing World of Warcraft. I got Fallout 3 recently as well, and that's a pretty cool game too.

3. Really hot showers
Pet peeve: luke warm showers. I want my shower water to be hot.

4. Riding my bike
Portland is awesome for this. There's a bike repair collective literally across the street from my apartment, for all my repair needs. Lots of grocery and restaurant options within easy biking distance. Riding my bike makes me feel more connected with my neighborhood. I can better see/hear/smell whats going on around me than if I were in a car.

5. Hoodies
Cozy, comfy, and secure. Zip hoodies preferred, but pullover ones are ok in a pinch. I hate the way the zippers get weird after you've had it for a while though, does anyone know of a way to fix that?
