obsession: Canadian TV (and film) (because I’m hungry for something new and good) boyfriend: Esai Morales in Caprica (not so much his character, though: he’s kinda scary) psyched: Alice in Wonderland (even though I’m still on Disney’s shitlist) girl crush: Vera Farmiga in Up in the Air (because she’s too cool) dreading: Cop Out (why, … more…

(Sometimes related to entertainment. Sometimes not. Always stupid.) Okay, so the Tim Tebow anti-abortion Super Bowl ad — which had a lot of people raging mad over CBS’s hypocrisy regarding which ads it accepted for the game, and which it didn’t — has garnered quite a bit of intriguing response.
