Movies, Legos, Reading

I'm passionate about cinema and one of my favorite things to do is sit down and watch a great movie, or go to the cinema and have the full experience. There's nothing quite like a good plot twist filling you with questions or a satisfying conclusion leaving you feeling emotional in one way or another. And when I want to exercise a different part of my brain I will jump to build any Lego set that is put in front of me. I know Legos are typically considered "children's toys" but there are some really complicated sets out there that would challenge even an adult to put together correctly. I also can't say no to a really good book every now and again. Getting pulled into another world just from words on a page is one of the most fascinating things to me and I can't get enough of it.
