For a television show that has been off of the air since May 2006, I am still pretty devoted to The West Wing. It remains in my mind one of the best things to ever happen to television.

I love Kris Kristofferson's music. There is just something about that wonderfully gravelly voice that gets to me. And, his songwriting skills are pretty amazing too. Check out the videos I have selected to hear him in action: alone and with the country supergroup The Highwaymen.

Calvin Klein has the wonderful ability to find and showcase the beauty that is there in even the simplest thing.

I love Kris Kristofferson's voice - I have for a long time. And his movies? Yep, I love them too. Is is just because I'm a country girl at heart? I don't think so. Do you have any idea how many films he has been in? Or, that he is a Rhodes Scholar? Yes, he is. Check out my lens to learn more.

This is a dearly missed television show. It incorporated many of the aspects of The West Wing that I had loved and even did some things better. It was a wonderful ensemble show with great writing and even better delivery and interaction from it's very talented cast. If you loved it too, you'll love my lens.

I love tiki bars, in all their kitsch-y goodness. They are fun, and retro, and relaxing. A wonderful reminder of times gone by, and usually they have really tasty signature beverages. See my top ten list of tiki bars to see if you agree - or let me know what your favorite is.

Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro delivers a unique, richly imagined epic with PAN'S LABYRINTH, a gothic fairytale set against the postwar repression of Franco's Spain. Harnessing the formal characteristics of classic folklore to a 20th Century landscape, del Toro delivers a timeless tale of good and evil, bravery and sacrifice, love and loss.

J R R Tolkien is seen as being the father of fantasy and to any true fantasy fan Lord of the Rings is required reading. That being said it doesn't necessarily mean it is the best fantasy story out there. The Hobbit was a fast paced story with something new happening in every chapter. After Tolkien wrote the Hobbit he moved into more adventureous territory and made the follow up a trilogy. The follow up was a lot slower than the original and harder to follow. To me Tolkien had left his original format and tried to create a literary epic, he did of course succeed, but no matter how I tried to like Lord of the Rings I never could. The constant singing/poetry in the book was completely unnecessary and did nothing to enhance the story, in fact it detracted from it. The story also has too many wasted plot elements, it is a good story but it definitely ain't God's gift to fantasy like some Lord of the Rings followers seem to think. And what's with the wizard that uses a sword instead of magic and an all powerful ring that all it seems to do is make the wearer invisible?

Lord of the Rings has now become a total product range. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance however was designed as a total product range. Dragonlance was designed as a side product of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. The book trilogy was designed to back up the new Dragonlance role playing game and because of that the group of friends in Dragonlance were on the lines of the Dungeons and Dragons scenarios each having their own traits, their own strengths and weaknesses and from a range of species (human, half-elf, kender and dwarf).
