A few of my favorite things

I'd have titled this 'Things I secretly love', but I'm pretty open about my guilty pleasures. So let's see, in no particular order...

- J.R.R. Tolkien - he is my hero (ok, my #2 hero)
- 'Lord of the Rings' - I count these two separately, because 'LOTR' takes place in a different age (yes, I am a LOTRdork)
- Languages, particularly dying ones
- Names
- Reading blogs (as well as posting and commenting)
- Coffee cups - really a person only needs one, and perhaps an extra for a friend. It takes great self-control for me to not buy them when I go on trips, or to Ikea, or to the Twins ProShop.
- 'Dancing With the Stars'
- Sims
- Boy movies ('The Usual Suspects', 'Gladiator', etc.)
- 'Lizzie McGuire' and 'Phil of the Future' (the show, and yes, Ricky Ulman)
- My Michael Cuddyer Bobblehead (it's on my desk and I love that it bobbles when I type)
- Youtube music videos (thank heaven my internet is too slow to watch them at home)
- Jewish boys
- The smell of new books or a crisp dollar bill
- Disco music
- 'Blues Clues' (the Steve episodes - and yes, I play along)
- Insisting Elvis is alive

i'm not sure i knew about the disco music, but i think i knew everything else :) -- you should make a "how well do you know melilot?" quiz or something ;)

My favorite movie is Commando, it is a total guy movie. And Latin rocks. Also, Steve was a genius who should never have let Joe take over what he began. Come home, Steve, come home.

I find Joe condesending. (Did I spell that right???)

aiden probably saw the joe episodes first.

i used to babysit two preschoolers who thought mel and i were extremely strange because we played along with steve.
"over there!"
"behind you!"
"that one!"

you get to control people's lives!
the best part is designing the houses, though. i don't play with them too much after that.

So, what do you think of the director of Pan's Labyrinth directing the two movies being produced of the Hobbit?

i really don't know anything about pan's labyrinth, so i don't know what i think about that. i do know that having 2 hobbit movies could go terribly wrong. it's one book.
