Some of my favorite movies!  And if they are on television, you’d better believe I’m watching them…even if I have the DVD.

I love names.  When it was time to name The Tiny Human, it was easy peasy.  And it’s a great way to get this list started!

1.) Atticus- Yes, that is the real name of The Tiny Human.  When I first read To Kill a Mockingbird, I knew I would one day use the name Atticus.

2.) Scarlett- Because, reasons…..

3.) Elinor- I think I might be one of the few people who prefers Sense & Sensibility over Pride & Prejudice. 

4.) Darrow- Have you read the Red Rising trilogy?!  DO EET!!!

5.) Prudence– I love the Alexia Tarabotti novels by Gail Carriger…but Alexia’s daughter has the better name!

And I’m stopping at 5 today.  Any literary names you would use to name someone?

Hi, my name is Alyssa and I’m a Food Network addict.  It is the channel I have on whenever I have access to the television.  I like to cook and LOVE to eat, so it’s only natural that this would make for some of my favorite viewing.

Here are some of the shows that have been my favorites!

The ORIGINAL Iron Chef– Iron Chef America will do, but the original is by far the more superior series.

The Pioneer Woman– I love her style of cooking and want to be her BFF.

Cutthroat Kitchen– Diabolical is an understatement.

Good Eats– HE HAD A SWEENEY TODD THEMED PIE EPISODE!  How can you not be in love?!

Chopped– If you’re not screaming at someone for using the ice cream maker, you’re not watching this show right.

30 Minute Meals– Still can’t figure out how she does it.

Sandwich King– Jeff Mauro is a damn National Treasure.

Southern at Heart– Shoutout to a fellow Kentuckian!

Barefoot Contessa– She and her husband are PRECIOUS together.  Kinda makes me sick, actually.

Cooking for Real– Sunny Anderson is AWESOME!

Any other Food Network fans out there?

Time for my favorite topic, me!

Seriously, I’m so vain I KNOW this song is about me.

Moving on….

1.) Thanks Alyssa Milano– Yep, I am named after her.  My mom was watching “Who’s the Boss?” one day and thought Alyssa was a name that was different, but not off the wall.  (Bonus fact: Alyssa Milano and I both have December birthdays).

2.) Birthday Cake for Days– Speaking of December birthdays, my family has a few during the first part of the month.  How many?

12/2- My grandpa

12/4- Me and my great-grandpa

12/8- My sister

12/12- Two of my cousins.  They are siblings who were born 2 years, 1 hour and 45 minutes apart.

3.) Origami Yoda– I was OBSESSED with origami as a tween, and can still bust out an origami cup or ball.  But I can’t make origami Yoda….

4.) #hamiltrash–  Yes, I’m one of those Hamilton obsessed people.  I’m going to finish the Chernow biography if it kills me (and it might).

5.)  Bad Melon– I hate melons.  Watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe.  They are all gross.

6.) Dr. Pepper is Not a Good Physician– I hurt my shoulder in college and ended up losing some of the feeling in my right pinky all from picking up a 12 pack of Diet Dr. Pepper.

7.) Allergic to My Job– No, really.  I have allergies to dust, mold, and mildew.  Not great for a librarian.  It’s the main reason why I didn’t go into rare book librarianship (and the whole not being able to read French or German thing).

8.) Straighten Up– I’ve had braces twice…and need them again…..

9.) Say What?– I lost the hearing in my left ear for three days after a .38 Special/Lynyrd Skynyrd concert.  Boyfriend at the time just had to be near the speakers.

10.) Vote for Pedro– I’ve never seen Napoleon Dynamite.
