TV-related questions
What was the name of that show in which a teenage girl had an alien father and was able to stop time? Her father communicated to her through a decorative-looking device, and her time-stopping abilities worked as follows: she stopped time by putting her hands together and started it back up by putting her index fingers end-to-end (or vice versa); anyone she touched would enter into the time-warp with her, while everyone else was paused. The theme song was "Would you like to swing on a star?" I would attempt to supply more details, but as I try to think of them, I realize that this show is fading into "Clarissa Explains It All."Secondly, do you know of any way to exercise such super powers? I just looked over my Amazon wish list, from which you should all probably buy me something, and I realized that that is the only solution to my desire to read more.
(By the way, I'm reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, and it's excellent.)
