FALL!

Ah... autumn!  My favorite time of year.  Now that I'm in LA it means fewer chilly temperatures and the absence of colorful foliage - which I will miss.  But it includes three of my favorite things about fall:

1) A new theatre season

2) A new TV season

3) Oscar-bait arthouse movies

Yay!  Rejoice!  Storytelling returns! 

The summer months are always difficult for me.  First off, I'm not a beach gal so all the talk of sun and surf falls on deaf ears.  Second, but for True Blood there's virtually nothing good on television!  And do I really need to say anything about summer movies?  I didn't think so.

Fringe, Modern Family, Glee, 30 Rock, Community, Parks & Rec, Boardwalk Empire... I'm so excited! 

So many movies to see: Never Let Me Go, The Town, 127 Hours, Buried, Casino Jack, The King's Speech... I'm so excited, part two!

As for theatre, I will miss the latest and greatest to open Off B'way and on B'way, but there's plenty of wonderful regional theatre around: South Coast Rep, The Old Globe, La Jolla Playhouse, Colony Theatre, A Noise Within... I'm so exci -- you get it.

And we haven't even talked book releases!!
