Too many to mention. I get bored easily, so I do a bit of a lot. A few constants? Wine, traveling, NPR, books, New Orleans, Jazz, politics, art, chocolate, hookahs, belly dancing, sushi, Korean Barbeque and candles. Not limited to that list and not necessarily in that order either.

Jazz, indie rock, house, tribal, trance, country...anything that is not all over the radio in my personal time. Love to dance to some hip hop, salsa and merengue, but I usually won't go out of my way to listen to it. I HATE REGGEATON. I also have to admit to a small obsession with Dave Matthews.

Hate reality TV, but I am a Real World Junkie. I can veg out to MTV or VH1, in between the History Channel, and some CNN. The Food Channel rocks as does Bravo (Top Chef baby). I am addicted to Nip/Tuck, but get mad at myself for watching since it has gotten so ridiculous lately. Yes, I realize I watch crappy TV, but it is what it is. The day Sex and the City ended, I went into a 24 hr depression.
Love Anne Rice, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borjes, Edgar Allan Poe, Isabel Allende, Pablo Neruda, David Sedaris and Oscar Wilde
