unremarkable things that somehow still excite me
1) Coca-Cola, either in a can or in a tall glass with ice.
2) Cabbies who make unrequested U-turns for you, both legal and illegal.
3) Old (pre-1965) pictures of New Yorkers on their way to work or drinking in bars.
4) Fall Jackets
5) New Gadget Smell
6) Hearing a Replacements song in an environment outside my own music collection (bars, radio, MTV2, etc.)
7) Throwing someone out at home plate.
8) Reminiscing about your own one special memory that you don't have to share with anybody.
9) Coming up with possible names for one's debut album, like Or Current Occupant, as in "Hans Bungle, Or Current Occupant"
10) Quittin' Time
11) Walking in the West Village
12) The internets
13) Saying something that everyone immediately recognizes as brilliant, such as "You can be a champion on the court or a champion in the bar...and I choose to be a champion right now."
14) The Relative, if Largely Theoretical, Freedom of Adulthood
15) Commuter Trains
16) Grilled Cheeses
17) The approval of others
18) Backdoor Cuts
19) Fake Fights
20) Old Stomping Grounds
