Top 10.

These are the Top 10 (is that trademarked yet? David Letterman could be a billionaire, yo) favorite things going on in my life right now:

10. The new Coldplay joint, “Viva la Vida”. Love this title track – I’ve had it on repeat for the past two days. (I will say that I was a little disappointed when I learned that Chris Martin wasn’t saying “I know St. Peter will call my name” but instead, “I know St. Peter won’t call my name…” Kind of like, “hold me closer, Tony Danza…”)

9. Americanos. Caribou, Amici, or anything in between, I love this drink. It’s made by dumping two shots of espresso into a cup of hot water, a.k.a. coffee. But to the coffee purist (or snob), this beats the pants off of drip coffee. And Baristas, please don’t fill it too full – I need room for cream.

8. Twitter. I love this thing. I try to explain it to people but always come up short. Follow me at www.twitter.com/JustinWise and see what I mean.

7. “Mac’s World” on 98.3 WOW-FM. I’m a sucker for local – local restaurants, local grocery stores, local music… I love local. I like this show because they cover local goings-on and Bradshaw makes really funny (albeit inappropriate sometimes) jokes. Thanks for letting me know what’s going on in Des Moines!

6. Zen Sushi. My wife and I enjoyed a meal here a few months back and I keep going back for the spicy tuna rolls and edamáme. Great restaurant, great food, great location… It makes me proud to be from Des Moines.

That’s enough for this post… I’ll round out the Top 10 on Wednesday. What about you? What’re some of the best things going on in your life right now?
