Love in the Time of iPhones: Happy Things This Week

Loves of the Moment

Matt Nathanson's album, Modern Love. I like every single song on this album, which is the case for me with all of his albums, but this one is particularly good. It's happy music, even when it's sad.
Truffle Oil. I'm getting to the point where I add it to almost anything savory. Just a little bit, like a 1/4 teaspoon drizzled over anything from eggs, to pasta, to fried rice (yes, I have tried it and it's amazing). It just adds an earthy, decadent flavor to a meal and the smell is probably one of my favorite smells of all time.
Michael Connelly books. I am a sucker for legal/crime thrillers, but particularly those written by this gentleman. The Lincoln Lawyer is an example of his work and I'm currently working my way through the Harry Bosch novels.

Favorite iPhone Apps

Words with Friends: I know everyone knows this app already, but challenge me to a game, I will bring it. (And no cheating!)
Insta.gram: It's a great photo finishing and sharing app. Even with my subpar camera on my old phone, it makes pictures look cool.
Mint.com: It's a great website and app and although my husband uses it far more than I do, it's a wonderful way to keep track of all your accounts, including student loans, credit cards and investments.
Kindle for iPhone: I know some people don't like it because it's small, but when I'm in an obnoxious waiting situation, say at the DMV, this app is my savior. There are a bunch of affordable Kindle books out there and it will be your godsend to have something to read waiting in a line that doesn't end.
