@ Heders:
So I took your advice and got the Cannon 50mm f/1.8 and it's awesome! Great depth of field, decent Bokeh (though only round at 1.8, then it gets all pentagon looking due to the 5 blades), but overall great for the money. The only complain is that it refuses to autofocus a lot of the time even in good lighting, and the manual focus can't get it crisp for some reason. Maybe not enough contrast in the stuff I was taking pictures of.
These are not pictures of anything, just trying out different settings to isolate the foreground/background or some combination of the two.



We got those new green "daylight" super efficient lightbulbs in our house recently, they make this weird cool/blue light instead of the traditional warm/orange light you get, it makes some things look weird when you photograph them like these flowers:
