I’m only part way through my goal of watching every BAFTA and Oscar winning film. Got the Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screen Plays done for what I could find and working my way through all the other lists slowly. I keep getting distracted by shiny bad horror movies and HBO television shows in my Netflix queue, as well as that thing called “life.”

I also feel the need to laugh on a regular basis which requires me to avoid some really fascinating meaty dramas on film during the long dark nights of a Minnesota winter. I describe these winters as Ibsenesque and avoid sharp implements, doll houses, and caged birds during this time period.

I’m a public librarian focusing on readers advisory and teen services, love to support live music and theatre, and think dancing is the best way to release stress.
