Television:

Old CSI reruns. I just saw the pilot. It was great. Top Chef! Shear Genius, Project Runway, Top Design, American Idol and anything with John Barrowman in it. I just saw Torchwood season 1, episodes 1-11, and I enjoyed it, but there wasn't enough sex.

Books:

Currently re-reading old Dick Francis mysteries. I love them. the hero is always the stong, silent type.
