Keith and I just finished up season one of Slings and Arrows. This Canadian dramedy is some of the best TV I have seen in a very long time. Not just because I spent a good portion of my coming of age in community theater, and not just because I have a soft spot for insane geniuses, but because it is well written and sincere.

My husband and I managed to sneak away from the house late Christmas Eve to go see James Cameron's Avatar 3D.
