Pet Dish
I recently discovered the Seattle Animal Shelter's Bunny Cam. From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., a video eye silently captures rabbit life in two glass-fronted cages. I've whiled away more time than I'd like to admit watching a pair of floppy-eared, gray Lagomorphs sleep and munch, but mostly sleep. It's calming on a hectic day.

When it comes to chichi restaurants, I have a serious fear of commitment. They bat their eyelashes, make lots of promises and turn on the come-hither charm, and even though you've heard through the grapevine they might be a little sketchy, your curiosity wins out and you finally break down and go. Then what do you know? They let you down. The next day you find yourself alone at the gym, feeling poor, fat and regretful that you didn't heed the warnings.

It all started with "Transformers." The unusual trailer that preceded last summer's blockbuster raised more questions than it answered. Shot on digital video, it depicted an attack on New York City by something with a really loud roar. Soon CNBC and other media outlets put together some of the pieces of "Lost" creator J.J. Abrams' newest puzzle: a monster movie in the "Godzilla" vein.

Daily Find
On the way to Morocco last July, I told my husband with a straight face, "I'm not going to buy a bunch of stuff there. We need to clear things out." That was before I realized I was traveling not only to a wonderfully exotic country with amazing architecture, fantastic food and kind people, but to the land of bustling souks and beautifully made crafts.
