The Checklist

Watch 'Miami Vice,' Seasons 1 and 2 ($60 each) Before the movie, catch up on all the drugs, sex and stylish threads. Well, on second thought, never mind about the last one.

Buy V-MODA Earphones ($50; v-moda.com) They come in fluorescent colors (like hot pink) and blast songs like a club DJ. Wear them to the beach--they'll match your bikini.

Read 'Habitus Disgustica' by Ian Whitelaw ($14) This delightfully faux encyclopedia lists the history of 40 rude behaviors, like (excuse us) burping.

Surf AdvancedSearch bar.com A site that scoops up the results from more than 100 different search engines--with more features than Google, Yahoo and MSN combined.

Eat Boulder Ice Cream ($4.69; Whole Foods) This Colorado brand is now available nationwide. It's all natural and tasty, too. We like mint chocolate chip.
