My new favorite show

You know how Netflix 'recommends' movies and such to you based on your viewing history and your personal ratings? Well Mr X was browsing around in my account, trying to find something new to put in our queue. He saw that according to Netflix I appear to be a fan of television series (more so than movies - and BBC shows in particular), foreign films, documentaries and food programs. So Netflix was recommending this for a girl like me: Two Fat Ladies. It's a show that follows two overweight, very old ladies as they run around England in their motorcycle & sidecar cooking various dishes for various people. Mr X put it at the top of our queue as a joke. But we got it and I LOVE it - very funny. I highly recommend this show. (Mrs Nye might especially be interested.)

Review: Discovery Atlas

A couple weekends ago Mr X and I rented a documentary called Discovery Atlas: Italy. It's made by the same organization/people that created the Planet Earth series. This is a series that explores the people of the earth rather than the places. We are expecting to receive the next in the serious this weekend - it's Australia. I really enjoyed the Italy disk - it was interesting and engaging. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys documentaries and learning about other cultures and lands.
