Dawson's Creek
A show with a lot of intelligence and not just another teenage drama. The storylines are interesting, characters are endearing, and the dialogue is witty--the actors and actresses don't look bad either.

First season Dawson likes Jen then he realizes he loves Joey, the girl next door who's loved him since the beginning of time. Second season Dawson and Joey together then they break up because she's in love with Jack who turns out to be gay. Third season, Dawson and Joey remain friends but then she falls in love with Pacey, Dawson's best friend, and goes away with him for the summer to go sailing down the coast. Fourth season, Joey and Pacey are still together, Pacey's sister Gretchen returns to Capeside as a break from college, Dawson becomes friends with Pacey and Joey again, Dawson and Gretchen fall in love, Joey loses her virginity to Pacey. What's next?

Felicity
Not as unique as DC but almost as entertaining. Girl is in love with boy in high school then goes to college in New York to follow him but falls in love with someone else. Then breaks up with boyfriend to be with original love but has a hard time maintaining a relationship so they break up...but they're back together again. He goes back home for the summer to work and she stays in New York to intern. Third season, Felicity and Ben are still together but overcome a number of situations including Ben's recovering alcoholic father, a roommate who's trying to break up with a boyfriend who's a bad influence on her by getting her hooked on drugs. What's next?

Friends
If you haven't heard it, where have you been? Hilarious comedy of 6 friends who live in New York. This season, Monica is engaged to Chandler, her brother's best friend from college.

On the Big Screen

My Best Friend's Wedding
Julianne and Michael have been best friends since college. Then he tells her he's going to get married and Julianne gets jealous. She has 3 days to break them up. Sports and Romance...my favorite combination.

Notting Hill
Can you tell I'm a big Julia Roberts fan? In this film, she's paired with Hugh Grant, who plays an Englishman who falls in love with Julia's character, Anna, an American starlett. A number things threaten their relationship. The soundtrack is perfect...it's filled with a number of classics.

Sleepless in Seattle
Meg Ryan falls in love with someone she's never met after listening to the radio on Christmas Eve--a boy talking about his father, a recent widower. She becomes determined to meet him even though she's currently engaged to be married. An absolute classic. A great soundtrack too.

X-MEN
A great adaptation of the comic book of the same name. Professor X runs a school of mutants, humans who have special powers. They fight Magneto who wants Mutants to rule the world who are treated as outcasts by normal humans.

Soundtracks
I love soundtracks. They are filled a mix of different types of music. My favorites include Notting Hill, Sleepless in Seattle, My Best Friend's Wedding, Dawson's Creek and The Commitments.

On Stage

Miss Saigon
The story of a young Vietnamese woman and an American soldier who meet during the Vietnam war. A tragic love story set to beautiful lyrics and music. I was fortunate to catch a show in Toronto.

Les Miserables
The literary classic, about an ex-convict who rises from poverty during the French Revolution, set to music. Powerful solos and harmonies. It was so great I had to watch it a second time when the company came to San Francisco in 2000.
