1. Batman Begins. I LOVED this movie. It was one of those films that you never want to end; where you're afraid to look at your watch to see what time it is because you know if you do you will know how much of the movie you have left. This film was phenomenal. So much better than the previous 2 atrocities. I could go on and on about how amazing the acting was, how brilliant the script was, how entertaining it was. The best film I have seen this year. GO SEE IT.
2. The Office (British Version). I have never seen the American version but the British version of The Office is quite the gem. It's a different type of humor though. Nothing like farce or even traditional English humor. This humor is almost like intellectual potty humor. Or perhaps it's just potty humor with a British accent, which makes it seem more intellectual. Either way, it's a great show and is available on DVD. It takes a couple episodes to grow so be sure and give it a running start.
3. Pizza Hut. I don't give it enough credit. But it really is an amazing place to eat. Especially when your choices are between that and practically nothing else. Try the Meat Lovers Pizza or perhaps the Buffalo Chicken Pizza (my personal favorite). Nothing like sitting down at Pizza Hut with your pitcher of Coke (or beer) and a nice deep dish hot sizzling pizza to dig into. I love pizza in general, but Pizza Hut holds a special place in my heart...next to Skyline Chili and Chipotle.

TRAVISATIONS! 6/15/05
1. Six Feet Under: Season 3. (*Some MINOR spoilers) If you haven't already experienced the eternal bliss that is Six Feet Under Seasons 1 and 2 then by all means check those out first. Granted, Season 3 wasn't as good as it's predecessors but it still held it's own. To me the whole season was somewhat flat until about the 10th episode when the s*$# hit the fan. Basically everything beforehand was what I like to refer to as "the calm before the storm." Each season seems to showcase a new actor. Season one was Rachel Griffiths, season two was Frances Conroy and Lauren Ambrose, season three was Peter Krause. The guest stars this season added a pleasant level to the Fisher family. I was delighted to discover James Cromwell, Kathy Bates, and Catherine O'Hara making an appearance on the show. But the best thing about season 3 is Lili Taylor who was so conflicted the entire season her fate seemed almost bitter sweet. Can't wait for Season 4 in August!!
2. Chocolate Lucky Charms. That's right folks. If you haven't already discovered them then get out to the super market NOW and buy them. Lucky Charms has always been my favorite cereal and now it has out done itself. Basically, they just took the cereal from Lucky Charms and made it chocolate then threw in the marshmallows they are so known for. It really is fabulous. It even turns the milk chocolate like Cocoa Puffs and Chocolate Pebbles. I still really enjoy regular Lucky Charms but this was something that definitely made me happy and had to be a travisation.

TRAVISATIONS! 6/6/05
Ok. So I have three more Travisations for this week:
1. The Tony Awards. Granted, there won't be another one for about a year. But you can wait. Here are 5 reasons to watch the Tony's:
A. They cut people off if their speeches run over. I'm not just talking about cutting them off with music. They cut them off with commercials! They just don't waste our time with somebody you never heard of thanking a million people you've never heard of.
B. These people are classy. You ever get the impression that the Oscars are a sloppy mess? Well you might if you watched the Tony's. I've always thought the Tony's were classier than the Oscars. Seems more organized and the people seem more composed.
C. The musical presentations. It's so much fun to see clips of shows for me. Especially this year, because I hadn't seen any of the productions. It just makes me want to go back to NYC and see all the shows I've missed.
D. I actually know people there. Whereas I know NOBODY at the Oscars. I can say I know a few people at the Tony's. Whether it's people I've worked with or just met briefly. Sure, not everybody can say this. But it doesn't take much effort. Theatre performers (including Bway) are mostly very down to earth and aren't making 20 million dollars a year like Hollywood performers. They appreciate their fans immensely.
E. You can't really predict the Tony's. So everything is a surprise. Well, they're not as predictable as the Oscar's anyways. Mainly because everybody you're watching with hasn't see any of the shows or they've only seen one or two. This element of surpise seems to keep things interesting.
2. Rescuing an animal. Yes, I've officially rescued a dog. It really does make you feel good. This particular dog was a stray and she had a hurt leg. She was very malnourished and underweight. I took her to the vet where they boarded her for a few days and looked at her leg. Apparently, the leg had broken and mended itself. So the leg is fine, it just didn't mend properly so she walks kinda funny. Fixing it is an option. However, it would be mighty expensive and she seems fine and has adjusted to walking on three legs. So she is back to health and as sweet as ever. She is a black mutt with a medium build. So if anybody is interested out there let me know because this is just her foster home for now. I would keep her but I move around to much so it would be difficult.

Is Entertainment Weekly Reading My Blog?!
Just a quick note. I was reading Entertainment Weekly and in the magazine they list a TRAVISATION! in their "Must List". The TRAVISATION! was Team America: World Police. I thought that was pretty cool. Makes me feel that my TRAVISATIONS are of some quality! :-D
