Belle & Sebastian - A brilliant alternative band from Glasgow. They got their name from a French children's book that was made into a TV series in the 60's. The music is amazing. Intelligent lyrics and great tunes.
Chocolate - Reasons for being a big girl #1.
Donnie Munro - Former lead singer of the Gaelic rock group, Runrig. Left the group to pursue a socialist political career but that didn't really work and now back to solo performing. Sings in Gaelic and English. Has a voice that could melt the coldest of hearts.
Football - The real football that North Americans call soccer. 22 men in shorts running about a large park, what can be wrong with that? Oh, the thighs!!
Ian Rankin - The best mystery writer Scotland has produced for a long time, if not ever. His main character John Rebus is a hard drinking, down to earth kind of guy. And Ian Rankin is very cute. I met him last year.
Learning Gaelic - I was introduced to the Toronto Gaelic Learners Association by my friend Maggie when I thought there were no Scottish people in Toronto. I had to travel 3,000 miles to learn my own language. The language is dying and we are trying to keep it alive.
Oasis - What more can be said about this British band. I loved them from the first CD and although some of their stuff over the years has been really bad, there is still something about them that I love. They are bad boys and I like my bad boys!!.
Reading Sci-Fi - I'll include fantasy in here as well. From H. G. Wells to Tolkien to Isaac Asimov to J. K. Rowling. What would life be if all we had to read was as boring as everyday life?
Serenity - So glad this one came up. The brilliant new movie from Joss Whedon. It has everything you would want in a movie. It comes out in 19 days but I've seen it so I know what I'm talking about. Action, comedy and pretty men. Adam Baldwin *sigh*
I would have put this behind a cut but haven't worked out how to do that yet.
