Fun idea -- got this from scarlettina:

Please suggest to me:

1. A movie.
2. A book.
3. A musical artist, song, or album.
4. An LJ user not on my friends list.
5. Something to do in the next two months.

Thanks,
Chris

1. A movie: Whale Rider, a film from New Zealand about which much has been writtten, but which not nearly enough people have seen. Well writte, beautifully acted. Gives a nice glimpse into the lives of assimilated Aborigines and one youhg girl's struggle to face down tribal myth and tradition, and her grandfather's loyalty to same.
2. A book: Y: the Last Man--vol. 1: Unmanned This is actually a graphic novel from Vertigo and I'm recommending it to you on the strength of The Boyfriend's recommendation to me. I'm starting it today, and it seems so different from my usual fare that I'm spreading the word.
3. A musical artist, song, or album: My tastes are too pedestrian to recommend anything really specialized. When in doubt, go with Dave Matthews Band. The musicianship is to be marveled upon.
4. An LJ user not on my friends list: genreneep
5. Something to do in the next two months: Find the nearest zoo and visit it! I have found that during th ewinter months, zoos are emptier than in the summer, and the animals get out a bit more because there are fewer crowds. Also, zoos are a nice way to take a walk, and they remind us that we're part of a bigger world. Do it!
