In line with Danielle's 100 things Entertainment Episode, here I go.
11. Whenever I was sick growing up, I would invariable watch The Sound of Music. Until my 6-year old nephew really described the scene to me, I could remember the one where the nuns take parts of the Nazi's cars our so the cars will not run so the family can escape. He thought that part was hilarious; I loved the "So long, farewell" song when all the kids are going to bed.
12. When I had surgery during the winter and started doing things to make myself happy, I stocked up on romantic comedies. I highly recommend Love Actually and 13 Going on 30.
13. Then I figured I should have a non-romantic comedy on hand if necessary and bought Casino Royale. If my relationship with my movie-star boyfriend Matt Damon fizzles, maybe I will just be with Daniel Craig.
14. I have tried to get in to NPR, but ultimately realized I go a little stir crazy when there is no music to which I can sing along while I drive!
15. I will basically listen to any music that is singable, but generally stay away from any country, rap, or hip-hop that is not otherwise played on pop stations. I suppose in a sense they are no longer "real" country, rap, or hip-hop at that point. Oh, well.
16. I can not watch too much reality TV. Some of the more "unique" ones in recent years, I usually enjoy the first season, watch the second season and think how you can never repeat the first season, and stop watching when the third season rolls around. This applies to The Apprentice and Biggest Loser so far. I will let you know if I make it through another season of Beauty and the Geek.
17. I can watch endless hours of one-hour dramas. 24 is getting a little old, but not ER nor Law and Order!
18. I miss a lot of shows that have ended over the past several years: Friends, Will and Grace, Gilmore Girls to name a few. I have been somewhat successful at avoiding getting in to new shows, aside from the fact that I rather enjoy Scrubs (not new-new, but relatively new) and How I Met Your Mother now.
19. I have been to very few big concerts. The majority of those I have been to were Dave Matthews Band.
20. Every year I try to see Dar Williams when she is in town. Talk about singable music! Plus I think she is so cute when she gets in to telling stories. It makes me like her music even more when I know the story behind the lyrics.

I'd forgotten about Dar Williams. I think you must have been the one who introduced me to her music.
I've only been to a couple of big concerts too. I hope to change that in the future.
I've seen Love Actually and 13 going on 30, but I can't remember who was in them, or much of the plots... But I know I enjoyed them when I saw them.
Daniel Craig is one hot tamale.
Love Actually has Jennifer Garner and she is a sweet 13 year old. Then she wakes up one day as a 30-year old, only to discover what a bad person she has become. It is a romantic comedy so obviously has a happy ending. :) Love Actually is British and takes place around the holidays with several story lines around relationships that are intertwined.
Hot tamale is for sure! :)
