friends with similiar interests and people with pugs to play with mine.

All time favorites:
Ride, Lush, Charlatans, Slowdive, Pulp, Belle & Sebastian

I recently happily rediscovered all of my old music after my year long project of uploading music to my ipod. A week later, my ipod broke. Now, I have it back. Thank goodness for the Apple Care Plan.

Movies:

Horror movies are the best! I appreciate the ridiculous as well as the thought provoking. I will see anything except for Westerns.

Lost, 24, Invasion, The Office (Yes, the American version), My Name is Earl.
My all time favorite TV show is Friends. I say that with no shame!

Books:

Open to suggestions for a good read.... I am too indecisive when I go to pick out a book that I usually leave the store empty handed.
The last book I read was the DaVinci Code. I liked it.

Heroes:

Pilar and Mateo
