I also like a wee bit of classical music - Night on Bare Mountain by Mussorgsky is my all time favourite, it just doesn't get much better than that.
Green Wing, Sugar Rush, The L Word, Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, anything involving Professor Robert Winston, The Culture Show (particularly cos Lauren Laverne's on it). That new Ugly Betty show looks like it's going to be rather good - did you know that's the girl from Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants? Yes indeedy.

About me: I am Aideen, and if you can remember my name without having had it explained to you in detail then I will buy you a drink.
Just back from taking a gap year in Montréal, where I had the unequivocal best year of my entire life. Now I'm in my final year studying Film and French in Canterbury...scary biscuits...
If anyone can tell me exactly what is happening in this video, I will love you forever:
