  1. Oh yay!! I'm glad you did it too!! I have to say, if we're talking favorite TV show of all time, Deadwood is easily my favorite. I've watched each season like three times, and they just get better. Also, since the dialogue is so tough, I always pick up on stuff that I didn't before!

    I'm also super excited that you said your favorite trip was to Prague - we're headed there in September, and this makes me look forward to it even a little more!

  2. I loved Deadwood, Timothy Olyphant mmmmm. Wish they would've tied up the loose ends before cancelling it.

    Also I never leave New York without White Castle, though in my older age my stomach would rather I didn't.

  3. I've just started to watch Game of Thrones and am addicted! My past two night have involved "just one more episode than I'll go to bed"... needless to say I'm a little tired as a result! ;)

    It's funny... I think dusk is the prettiest time of day but I'm such a morning person.

    Love your answers to all of these.

  4. Lucy, the dog is very cute. I am a lover of lists, so maybe I'll do this as well. There are so many great vintage collectors in Michigan! (Where my husband's from too)

  5. Love it! I'm totally posting my own later in the week. I'll leave you the link when it goes up!

    I had no idea Richard Armitage was in Captain America. Had I known, I might have been more tempted to go see it.
