these are a few of my favorite things...

Anyone who knows me (which, at this point, should be all of you) knows that I have very definitive and ridiculous opinions on inane things. I VERY MUCH KNOW what I like and dislike and I have a favorite of everything. Really, everything. Melissa tested me on this at one point, and I do, in fact, have a favorite gas station. For those who are wondering, it's the BP on 202 that has the baskin robbins in it. So clean.

ANYWAY, I thought I'd share with you guys a few of my most favorite things. Like Oprah does, except I'm not giving you shit.

SONGS

-Moth's Wings by Passion Pit

-Dress Me Like A Clown by Margot and The Nuclear So and So's

-Can You Tell by Ra Ra Riot

-My Boy Builds Coffins by Florence + The Machine

TV SHOWS

-Mad Men. I know, I know, everyone watches/has heard of it/ whatever. But really. Just watch it. It's a slow burn all season and that's not for everyone but it is such a satisfying and unpredictable show to watch. If you like anything that's well done, well acted, well written, aesthetically pleasing, or all of the above - it's worth your time.

-Big Love. For whatever reason, it's like the only show I have issues following and sometimes I think they throw a little too much at you. But, it's four seasons in and it still has maintained a lot of integrity in keeping its protagonist inherently unlikable. It's so uncomfortable and interesting to watch.

-Better Off Ted. Getting cancelled. Way underrated. Ridiculous. In an Andy Richter Controls The Universe + Arrested D kind of way. AKA THE BEST WAY.

-How I Met Your Mother. The only show with a laugh track that I absolutely love. My crush on Jason Segel notwithstanding, it is a fantastic show.

-Friday Night Lights. Reasons to watch include Taylor Kitsch, Kyle Chandler, and engaging writing. They also had two characters kill a guy and the show didn't jump the shark. That's talent.

-Nurse Jackie. "Quiet and Mean. Those are my people."

MOVIES
