(no subject)
It's been a while since my last entry, I haven't been doing anything lately so there's really nothing to write about. Being a temporary bum I've now seen every episode of every sitcom on TV (thank God the writers' strike is over I'm so freakin' tired of reruns )and I'm currently (or probably for life) hooked on the silver screen. Old movies rock! I am now officially a TV dork and halfway on being an official movie geek. So far I've only seen 10 of Time Magazine's 100 Best Films and 13 of American Film Institute's 100.
