Mar. 16th, 2006 07:42 pmThings I love about favorite media:
Medium: I love that Joe and Allison *don't* turn on the lights when they are talking to each other in bed at night, nor do they turn on the light if/when it's night, they're in bed, and the phone rings. One doesn't and it's such a relief that someone got that detail right. I love their relationship and their family and that Patricia Arquette looks like a real person (an unusually beautiful real person) instead of a lollipop.
Anansi Boys: Not since "The Life of Pi" have I read a such a wonderful story about stories, about the wonder of tales and language and creation and myth. The actor who reads it on books on tape is brilliant, too. I love his personification of Mrs. Higgler (Check out the name! See what I mean about the storytelling? It's *perfect*!), and Graham Coates, and Spider... it's a fabulous experience, reading this book. (Wahh! I have only 1 CD left!)
How I Met Your Mother: These characters have so grown on me, I'm making sacrifices to capture it on Tivo. I have to know who Ted ends up with! If only the network would take a cue from Veronica Mars and air the eps twice a week, I'd be in heaven.
Survivor: My main wish is see every one of those stupid ninnies who voted out Tina get kicked off the island. Total and complete IDIOTS! But I'm grudgingly starting to like Cherie, who is quite funny & very perceptive in her video asides.
National Parks Magazine: Really, I didn't know there were so many national parks. (Now I forget how many. 390?) The photos are great and the articles always make me want to hie off camping. The quirky stuff is really quirky, too, not just titallitating quirky. Good stuff.
