Movies
Stacey Ballis

Stacey Ballis, educator, author and TV personality presents unique solutions to entertaining at home while still working a fulltime job.
In terms of watching, I like originals not remakes, black and white classics and CGI animation, and of course, a sick addiction to the classic teen movies of the 1980s.
Television
I have a small substance abuse problem with Law and Order. I'm trying to limit to a couple episodes per day. Six Feet Under, Arrested Development, The Office (both versions), House, Weeds, Big Love, too many home improvement and cooking shows to admit to, minimal 'reality television' and yet maximum documentaries.
Books
My own...obviously! Anything by: Anne LaMott, Ursula Hegi, Joyce Carol Oates, Michael Ruhlman, Colette, MFK Fisher, Jane Austen, Tom Robbins, John Irving, Jasper Fforde, David Sedaris. And if you are sampling the best contemporary chicks have to offer, check out my friends and faves: Jodi Picoult, Laura Caldwell, Cara Lockwood, Jen Lancaster, Jennifer O'Connell, Liz Flock, Sarah Mlynowski, Carole Matthews & Lynda Curnyn.
Heroes
Oscar Wilde, Colette, my sister...
