Movies, movies, movies. We're thinking of getting a(nother) PS2 just so we can play Guitar Hero, but not sure if that's going to happen.

I just cracked open the book "Hollywood V. Hardcore" last night, about censorship, Hollywood, and the MPAA.

I've been reading a lot more too!! Right now I'm reading a book on the Spanish flu of 1918, fasinating stuff! I sort of missed it (think I took a couple of months off post-graduation just because I was so burnt out... now I just want to go back to school!!)

I have also turned my house into a shrine of cleanliness, I feel like I'm constantly cleaning the place. But its very nice to sit down and read in a completely clean house. :)

Lots of DVDs (which we did anyway, but moreso now) and lots more reading.

Tackled the almost 1,000-pager "Shantaram" -- epic. Would highly recommend it if you haven't read it. I got through it in a week. So don't be intimidated by the size!

Just finished "One Hundred Years of Solitude" too. Also great.

Back to some Christopher Moore frivolity next.

I've read more in the past three months than I have since college, I think. No. Wait. I didn't actually read in college. High school maybe? Yikes.

I'm tending to watch alot of movies and now that Netflix has unlimited instant browsing I've been able to find all kinds of cools shows and movies to watch on line.I may not return to watching much traditional TV. Oh yes I too have been caught actually reading again.

I love the WGA strike. So many people -- not just ones posting here -- have turned to books and their own creative expression. The WGA should do this more often.

I've read Nick Hornby's "Slam," Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" and "No Country for Old Men," and I just started Hornby's "A Long Way Down." And I'm finding time to write for the first time in a while, which is comforting.

Thanks to Netflix, any downtime is taken up with film. I have Julie Delpy's 2 Days in Paris at home now.

I'll let you know in 8 weeks when I run out of new LOST episodes. Season premier TOMORROW NIGHT!!! Woo Hoo!

Between the writer's strike and several small children actually [gasp] going to and staying in bed at a decent hour I've taken up knitting, reread Lamb (Christopher Moore) for the fifth time [really not joking] and finally cracked the spine on Dave Eggers What is the What - which is phenomenal so far.
