Just realized I haven’t done a “Things I Am Loving” post for awhile, here goes. Those having exams please wait till after to explore these.

1. Best. Show. On. Television. (but strictly for those above 18, and I mean it.) : FX’s Sons Of Anarchy

Definitey not everyone will appreciate this one, but once you get past the graphic violence, leather cuts, occasional nudity, sex and coarse language, there is solid, solid acting and direction and wonderful writing with a very real emotional core. It helps to watch the show from the beginning (Season 1). It intrigued me that this is positioned as Hamlet-on-wheels, and is written as a homage to Hamlet (I’ve always had a soft spot for the lad). The fact that when I first watched this show I assumed the characters were acted by real bikers and not actors, speaks for itself. I really like how it seems more like a documentary than a drama.

Hal Holbrook (guest star) brought me to tears in 30 seconds in a single shot in Season 3. Easily one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen. Katey Sagal is completely authentic and multi-layered.

In the interests of full disclosure, I have the biggest crush on Charlie Hunnam (Jax), but beyond the way he looks, the guy has some serious acting chops. It’s beyond me why he isn’t on the big screen yet. Scorcese should look beyond his DiCaprio blinders, Hunnam is perfect for him.

2. Sara Bareilles Kaleidoscope Heart and 2ne1 To Anyone

Kaleidoscope Heart : simply beautiful. Fav track : “Breathe Again”

And yes, I have to admit that I am a 2ne1 and G Dragon fangirl. Love “Clap Your Hands” and “Go Away”.

There are a couple others, but I’ll save them for the next post.

Until then, study hard and always be taking baby steps towards the truth.
