What pregnancy cravings do you have that aren't food related?

I know this is really silly but I bet I'm not the only one. This pregnancy I have been obsessed with the movie "Hot Tub Time Machine 2." It's even better than the first. My husband rented it sometime last fall and I loved it. He gave me the DVD/Blu Ray Combo in my stocking for Christmas. I watch it 4/5 times a week. My sister in law told me she HAD to watch Indiana Jones (can't remember which) at lunch every day while eating a meatball sub when she was pregnant with my oldest nephew. I craved smells when I was pregnant with my first. A memory of a smell would pop into my head and I'd seek it out to smell it for real. Red wine, fabric softener, my husband's pillow, weird I know, but then I felt better. My mom was obsessed with knowledge when she was pregnant with me so she spent all her time at the library pouring over books (she was a C- student in school and never really cared about learning so this was strange). Have you had any "weird cravings" that weren't food or drink related?

Aside from my crazy sex drive since becoming pregnant I'm having more than usual attraction to wood-smoke, sawdust, just wood in general-which totally works out for me since DH works at a lumber mill and we heat with a wood stove. Also I've always been a cold weather person, loving the house and outside temp at or below 60-65 degrees but since carrying this little one I've been needing 75+, which will also work out since as with all of you this will be an august baby

I wonder if my body knows?

This is so funny because I totally feel like I crave certain tv shows/movies! I'm all about anything nostalgic right now, like super old tv shows that my grandmother used to watch (bewitched, I dream of Jeannie, etc)!

Edited to finish because I hit send too soon.

Mine is more of an "aversion" than a craving.. lol. I really love the show American Horror Story. The first three seasons were awesome and I sat down to watch the fourth with my DH the other night and ugh, I could hardly stomach it. Not only that, but it just wasn't that interesting. Maybe it's just this particular season, but I just am so uninterested.
I've also been craving sunshine, but that's pretty normal for midwest winters.
