Finest British Dramatic Costume Dramas:
So I'm a sucker for British Costume Dramas. It's a guilty pleasure, the more dramatic and romantic, the better.
Sense and Sensibility. BBC, 2008.
Because Dominic Cooper plays the perfect charismatic d-bag as Willoughby.
Pride and Prejudice. BBC, 1995.
Yes, the whole series may be five hours, but the comic timing is excellent, I laugh all the way through.
North and South. BBC, 2004.
The Industrial Revolution, conflict in the Church of England, gossip and rumors, love across social divides, overcoming pride in order to allow love in, and a huge misunderstanding -- what more do you need? Plus, Richard Armitage is hot.
Little Dorrit. BBC, 2008.
Little Dorrit is as Dickens as it comes. It is raw, tragic, and complex. Luckily, even though the story goes from bad to worse to devastating, it ends pretty happy.
Cranford. BBC, 2007.
Judi Dench is amazing. And the old ladies are so cute. It's like the Golden Girls, except historical.
Northanger Abbey. iTV, 2007.
A rendition of a less known Jane Austen novel, but so good.
Far from the Maddening, 1998
One of the only Thomas Hardy novels that actually ends happily. Also, Nathaniel Parker pulls off facial so well.
Vanity Fair. BBC, 1998.
Becky Sharp is the most conniving, manipulating, heartless, and awful character ever written. You hate her, but you love her too.

Finest Comedic Comdies:
I could watch these over and over again.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The scene with the clarinet. Classic.
Son of Rambow
Not quite a true blue comedy, but I love it for its comedic moments.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941)
Yes, Alfred Hitchcock can make comedy movies. And they're good.
Napoleon Dynamite
The fact that people still continue to quote this movie in casual conversation says it all.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Because we all want Jake Ryan.
Better Off Dead
Before John Cusack was super famous.
It Happened One Night

Clark Gable is a babe. And he began the shocking trend of not wearing undershirts.

Reasons Why Owl City Sucks:
- It is whiny.
- Adam Young needs to take a shower and needs to stop matting his hair to his forehead.
- People compare him to the Postal Service.
- He tries to be Ben Gibbard.
- Lightning bugs can't hug people.
- His lyrics are super pretentious.
- His lyrics are just a bunch of words thrown together meaninglessly.

Dear Weekend,
I wish you could come sooner for I cherish the time we spend together. I yearn for you, I ache for you.
I appreciate all you do for me; for allowing me to sleep and giving me the freedom to do as I please. Yet, my dear weekend, you leave too soon and too abruptly. You leave me devastated and deserted. You leave me wanting. And while you're gone, all I do is hope and pray earnestly that you will return quickly.
You are the wind beneath my wings.
Love always,
Debbie
