I'm a Canadian-American living in the San Francisco area. If it wasn't already obvious from my posts, I'm within spitting distance of fifty. When I'm not a software trainer/tech writer/product manager, I'm a pirate, wild west and mountain man reenactor. I sail, fire black powder armaments, fight with edged weapons and rob trains. I frighten small children whenever possible. I also make the best rum cake on earth (trust me on this one...) My name is actually Jill. My better half's name is Jack - he's a pirate too. And there is NO SUCH THING as spot-reducing. Short of surgery, there's no way to get rid of fat in just one area of the body. Seriously. No kidding. Really. Truly.

Pretty much anything but rap and muzak.

Just about anything on the History channel. Plus Survivorman, Mythbusters and Voyages. And anything that Joss Whedon creates.

O Brother Where Art Thou, Amelie, Shawshank Redemption, Master and Commander, Long Kiss Goodnight, Persuasion, Enchanted April, Galaxy Quest, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Shipping News, the LOTC movies, Mystery Men. A short list, off the top of my head.

It would take way too much space to list those.
