I F-ing hate The Timmys.
Me Without You and Lagaan are my absolute favorite movies- watch them! Asoka, Finding Neverland, Pride & Prejudice (all versions), Gross Pointe Blank, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Bride & Prejudice etc... I like most anything as long as it doesn't partonize the audience too much- anything Bollywood is a definate plus!
Gilmore Girls, MythBusters, World Biker Build Off and my grudginly admited adictions: Project Runway and America's Next Top Model. I also can't turn away from Law & Order if I happen to catch the first thirty seconds (SVU and CI only, not the original).
I was raised reading- my mother would often catch me in the closet reading until 4am on school nights with towels stuffed around the door to try and keep escaping light from tipping her off. I would get yelled at and told to go to bed and the next morning I would desperately try and stay home from school because I was tired and otherwise not feeling well. I wonder why my mother never believed me... I still have an indescribably hard time putting a book down and not finishing it in one sitting. Interesting side note- I was unable to learn to read until the very tail end of second grade. I will not go into the whole story here but it is a good one. Ask me and I will tell it. That said: I am in love with the writing of C.S. Lewis and Jane Austin. Also enjoyable: The Other Boleyn Girl, The Queen's Fool, Harry Potter, Body Control Pilates, The Rock and Roll Rebellion, The Count of Monte Cristo, Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, T.S. Elliot, Lord Byron, Ruth Souther, Homer, Pink Think, there are so many I am having a hard time coming up with names... Novels mainly but if it is written well I will read it. Right now I am trying to make my way through some old and new classics. On my list are The Bell Jar, Crime and Punishment, the Vedas, and a cookbook or two.
