Here are another 5 quick picks for you, the loyal reader:<\/o:p><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

\"metric_fantasies_150\"MUSIC: Metric \/ Fantasies<\/i><\/b> — Fantasies<\/i> is the fourth album by Canadian band Metric, and perhaps their strongest yet. Delivering more of the same sweet, catchy, keyboard-heavy pop-rock that Metric fans have come to expect, frontwoman Emily Haines sings in a way that seems personalized yet also ready for the masses. Lead-off track \u201cHelp I\u2019m Alive\u201d and the Stones\/Beatles-referencing \u201cGimme Sympathy\u201d are great starting points for the uninitiated.

BOOK: Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell \/ If\u2026, Volume 2<\/i> <\/b>\u2013 Admittedly I\u2019m many years late on this title, having recently picked it up at a Los Angeles thrift store. A sequel to original best-seller, Evelyn McFarlane and James Saywell\u2019s follow-up effort is sub-titled \u201c500 new questions for the game of life.\u201d\u00a0 While philosophy is an acquired taste for many folks, If\u2026 <\/i>leads readers to ponder what they would do in specific given situations. Ultimately, it is a perfect tool for a long flight or a lengthy sitting in a caf\u00e9. (randomhouse.com<\/a>)\u00a0 <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

SHOW: Delocate<\/i>d <\/b>\u2013 A faux reality show headed by veteran comedy writer Jon Glaser, Delocated<\/i> is a series within the Cartoon Network lineup known as Adult Swim. Lead character Jon is a New York City transplant who happens to be in the witness protection program. Thus, his face is hidden and his voice modified as he lives a routine urban existence. Almost needless to say, hilarity ensues. (adultswim.com\/shows\/delocated<\/a>)<\/b> <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

TOOL: Voyji <\/b>\u2013 Tagged \u201cthe best sales and specials from your city,\u201d Voyji is a search-enabled travel resource that partners with Orbitz, Expedia and similar sites. Also synced with Twitter technology, users are able to look for deals based on their airport of choice and preferred date of departure. Thus, travelers need not plan far in advance when hoping to take an affordable dream vacation. (voyji.com<\/a>) <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n
