Television
Grey's Anatomy has broken my heart with their firing of Isaiah Washington. I will have to decide carefully whether to continue watching after they broke up the family. Maybe if they increased Bailey's role a bit...and Callie's...and showed McSteamy nude a time or two again. Please?
Books
Crystal Wilkinson's Water Street and Blackberries, Blackberries need to be read by everyone. Everyone. Right now. Also Elizabeth Strout's Abide With Me, Meghan Daum's My Misspent Youth, Roger Bonair-Agard's Tarnish and Masquerade and Kevin Powell's Keepin' It Real are current faves. Mildred Lee's The People Therein is my all-time favorite. But seriously, Crystal Wilkinson is the Truth.
Heroes
Matt Slaybaugh and Acacia Duncan Dave and Amy Purcell The Cast of "So You Think You Can Dance" Gina Mantione Sean Savoie My Mom and everyone who does something that scares them
