Television:

Ok, I'll admit it - I love reality TV. Anyone else who won't admit it is in deep denial. Here's some of what's on my TiVo - Pushing Daisies; 30 Rock (just the most funniest show quite possibly ever); Little People, Big World (I'm not sure why I adore this show but Matt Roloff is the MAN); Survivor (except for when the winner is just the guy who wins immunity all the time - boring!); The Amazing Race; Project Runway; CSI; Cold Case; Heroes; American Idol (admit it - you watch it); House Hunters; The Soup (I adore Joel McHale); Medium; Ghost Whisperer; and a bunch of assorted stuff from Discovery Health channel, BBC America, and A&E, etc. And, yes, I have a life which does not involve watching TV all the time.
