My daughter always gets me to watch these serious, good-for-you movies. She made us watch Crash, which was excellent.
So I got Monster to watch with her, which was something I'd always wanted to watch but always seemed like too much of a downer. Another excellent movie, another downer.
Left to my own devices, chick flicks. Also epic stuff like Lord of the Rings, Troy, Harry Potter, and the first Star Wars.

That's a tough one, but chocolate is always in the top 10.

New dog, named Nigel Barker.
We had promised the teenage princess that she could get a puppy when the floor in the family room got done. Months and months later, the family room was finally done, and she was nagging continually, saying "But you PROMised" so we started looking for basset hound, or possibly boxer puppies. Then she saw the sad Humane Society ad on TV, with the Sarah Maclaughlin(?) song, and decided it had to be a pound puppy. Thus, Nigel Barker, the underpants-eating wonder. He was hit by a car and his leg was broken which is how he ended up at the Humane Society, Based on the way he acts, I suspect he got conked a good one on the head, too. Certainly acts brain damaged at times, but he's a cutey.

I'm not really that short, but I live in a family of tall people.
They call me and my sisters the Hobbit Chicks.
Tall people can be so smug sometimes.
(Oh, and I tend to avoid shoes as long as the weather is nice, just because it's so much easier on the knee situation. Guess that would make me a hobbit chick too wouldn't it.)
