I'm a sucker for sci fi. My list of favorite shows would make me seem like I belong at a convention waiting for George Takei to shake my hand so I don't have to wash it ever again.

Well I like to have a TV wherever I am. It's more of a multi-tasking thing:
-TV in the background
-Surfing the net on my laptop
-Reading a book
-Muting the TV to listen to music (but I still need to have something else to watch other than my laptop, so TV's still on).

Plus, I only could do my homework with the TV on... the silence (or a black turned off screen) bores me. I need to have something moving in front of me.

I like to be doing something, which is why i guess I enjoy going on the computer over watching television.
That was just another overly-dry attempt at humor on my part. I didn't really lose my books.

I like them too, but man do I feel like I'm wasting time when I play them.

I don't watch a huge amount of T.V but I would suffer if I couldn't see at least one movie a week. Although recently I have been completely ennamoured with Bettany Hughes who is an Historian who specialises in ancient history and has looks to match. Beauty + brains= absolute win. She has a series of programmes on More4 at the moment regarding ancient History and I think I have died and gone to heaven when I watch! Urban will like I think!
Bettany Hughes - official website - historian, author, broadcaster

The programmes:
The Ancient World with Bettany Hughes - Channel 4

No it's just crap and full of High concept themes that don't add up to scrutiny.
