Feb. 26th, 2012 11:00 pmI was making a list of Top Five for a fest on LJ so I thought I would post it here too. I didn’t allow myself much time to contemplate so I wrote what came to me (for books and movies and tv it was a little hard – the hardest was making the list of top 5 books.)
List of 5
Top Five Bands.
Coldplay, Leonard Cohen, Beatles, DDT (russian rock), Adele
Top Five Movies. Dirty Dancing, Titanic, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Love Actually and Princess Bride
Top Five TV Shows. Buffy, Star Trek: TNG, Farscape, Friends, A&E's Pride and Prejudice
Top Five Harry Potter Books. HBP, DH, OoP, PoA, SS
Top Five Books Of Ever. Harry Potter series, Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy, Jane Austin "Persuasion," Sharon Kay Penman "Here Be Dragons," "Tomek" series of Polish books I read in Russian as a child.
Top Five Places You Want To Visit (regardless if you've been there or not). Grand Canyon, Prague, Greek islands, Australia, Alaska
I spent the day reading for my classes tomorrow: mostly excerpts from Wollstonecraft and the articles on hagiography.
Oscars – I haven’t seen any of the movies so I was not really into the Oscars this year but I loved the show and a lot had to do with Billy Crystal – I love him sneaking political jokes and just his attitude in general. He just fits on that stage so well. Cirque de Soleil was probably my favorite part. I loved the stage design too. Now I have to see “The Artist” for my Oscar list. But I really haven’t been excited for movies lately. I think TV is doing the best storytelling work.
