I loathe entertainment television

An interesting fact many do not know about me is that I absolutely abhor most of what is published in the media--"interesting" because of the profession I've chosen...

I watch a little bit of TV, a lot more during Football season. I capitalized "Football" because it's that important to me. I also love the Discovery Channel--specifically the shows "How stuff works" and "How it's made"...I have quite a fascination with what goes in to everything that's around me. I have ever since I saw my first video of how crayons are made on Mr. Rogers when I was little.

Other than that, any shows about nature, science or chemistry will do. I bought every DVD of "Planet Earth" after watching the first five minutes of the first show--incredible.

And as hard as it is to hear/see/learn, I inundate myself with information on global warming and climate change--I've always been very interested in rain forests and deforestation--I liken it to my strange desire to learn more about the holocaust-- absolutely horrid pieces of history/the future but necessary to know about.
