Entertainment

My friend Lauren (The Tiens...link to the right) inspired me with a post about entertainment! And since Adam and I like "media" so much I thought it was a wonderful idea and copied her! (now, if I could only get inspired enough to make those cookies you gave the recipe for...)

Anyhow,
TV: Thanks to DVR we can enjoy shows without having ours lives revolve around them. Then, whenever we feel the itch to veg a little we can watch our favorites!! Some of our "family favorites" are Man vs Wild, The Office (I'm not ready to give up on it yet but the last couple of shows have been below par...), The Soup (a show that takes snippets of all the weeks shows and makes fun of them generally...it is hilarious, and a great way to see the best part of what happened that week without wasting your time), SNL (I didn't grow up watching this show but the cast is so good right now, especially Kristen Wiig), Seinfeld re-runs of course, and tons of other shows that catch us on a whim. As for me, I record American Idol (Adam won't watch it with me right now but I think once they narrow it down he will watch some), and The Bachelor (I think I will ALWAYS watch that show as long as it is on...I just love it...I think Tenley is the cutest so far). And of COURSE: we always love the Olympics and Dodger Games when they are on!!

Music: We are total music junkies. What I like most about our music taste is that it is so HUGE. You name a genre- I can almost guarantee we listen to it. Rock, rap, instrumental, country, classical, Christian, etc etc etc :-)- its all good.

Movies: We also watch a ton of movies. It is so fun when you find a movie that is just SO good. Sometimes we see movies in the theaters, sometimes we rent them, and oftentimes if we like it we will buy them. We have no problem watching a movie more than once and do it quite often!
Some of our honorable mentions this year (or couple years, I don't keep track) have been: The Proposal, Music and Lyrics, & Love Happens. We also like some comedies once you get over the sometimes bad language. Some of the better dramas have been The Hurt Locker & Shooter.
(I know Adam would agree with me on this post but I'm sure he would add some of his own).

Best Play/Musical: Jersey Boys in Vegas
honorable mention: How The Grinch Stole Christmas
