Escaping the Creche

Being that the forum is an inhospitable place to post because it is ruled by one large, hateful bully, I think I'll hang out in my blog today.

Just a few things I'd like to share...

A great year-end podcast from my favorite political podcasters: The 2013 Conundrums Gabfest.

Favorite book I read this year: Autobiography by Morrissey

Favorite movie of 2013: Gravity

Favorite non-English speaking film of 2013: Blue is the Warmest Color (La Vie d'Adèle)

Favorite Charlie Rose episode: Cate Blanchett. She is a class act. And so is Charlie. The two them are magical together. You can tell they both have a great deal of respect for one another.

Favorite TV sitcom: The Big Bang Theory. Still love this show. Love every single character.

Favorite TV drama: The Sopranos by a small margin--over Breaking Bad.

I don't ever make New Year's resolutions. But last year I did--to read more novels. I read exactly one. So, no resolutions this year. They don't work. Want to do something? Just do it. Don't wait until a new year comes around. Start now. Or don't start at all.

Favorite song that I can't get out of my head... from the film Blue is the Warmest Color (La Vie d'Adèle)--my fave foreign film of the year.

I said goodbye to some friends. But made many more. And had some wonderful moments with my family.

Goodbye 2013. Bring on 2014!
