Music, Twins baseball and sitting in the cheap seats, Cat paws, visual arts, ceramics, bicycles, cats, glossy magazines, mummies, religious art, big rings, estate sales, bugs, sleeping in (which rarely happens because I need to accomplish too much crap during the weekends), phone calls to distant relations, playing Scattergories, Sorry and Skip-bo, driving down the road with the window down and letting my hand bounce around in the air currents,ableskiver and salty salt licorice, dreaming about retirement and not having to work because I cry a little inside every morning I wake up and realize I need to get ready to work for the next 8-9 hours, making pesto, nerdin' it up, Trader Joe's dark chocolate, words, the smell of pavement when rain hits it, road trips with friends which don't include listening to Elton John's Greatest Hits cd, the smell of frozen pastures melting in the spring.
I'd like to meet people who don't chew food with their mouths gaping open and people who don't live under rocks because those kinds of people are pale and scary. I'd also like to meet people who don't pepper their speech too liberally with "like", "I mean" and "y'know" because that nonsense is really getting on my nerves these days. People with intelligence behind their eyeballs.
Pop country radio makes my teeth hurt less than regular pop radio. I was raised on the Stones, Beatles, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Anne Murray, Buddy Holly, Dionne Warwick, the Turtles, piano concertos on Prairie Public Radio and the green Lutheran hymnal and then I found the Metal Edge with it's posters of Nikki Sixx and Mark Slaughter....eeeeeeee! On today's playlist: Motorhead, Dictators, Waylon Jennings, Jason and the Scorchers, Demented Are Go, Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakam, Freddie Cannon, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck, Izzy Stradlin, Tom Jones, Radney Foster, Roy Orbison, The Quakes, Hasil Adkins, Hayseed Dixie, Loretta Lynn, Meteors, Munly, Conway, Marty Stuart, Slim Cessna, Jimmy Dawkins, Tom T. hall, Toots and the Maytals, Nomads, Ralph Stanley, Rank & File, Herb Alpert, Beausoleil, Magnolias, Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, Willie Nelson, Solomon Burke, RL Burnside, Fenton Robinson, Narvel Felts, Boozoo Chavis, Springsteen, Blasters, Supersuckers, Tarantella, Stupid Birthday, Twistin' Tarantulas, Zeke, Rosie Flores, Phantom Rockers, Boxcar Willie, DeadBolt, blah de blah. I'll listen to anything provided it doesn't make my teeth hurt.
I rarely see the inside of a movie theater, but I do watch some of the Netflix the hubby chooses which are normally political and/or musical documentaries. Or horrible crap like Talladega Nights.
Dr. Who, Antiques Roadshow, Jack Van Impe Presents, Innercity Fishing, Charlie Rose, Letterman and Conan (if I can stay up late enough), Ugly Betty, CBS Sunday Morning, Independent Lens, NOVA, American Experience (almost anything on PBS, even the Suze Orman specials, but not the Celtic Women concerts!)city council meetings on public access (or any other weirdness I might happen upon), infomercials in order to marvel at the difference between horrifying "before" pics and beautifully retouched "after" pics, CSI Miami only to make fun of David Caruso's acting.
I was a regular user of the Bookmobile when I was a kid, but my book reading has lessened as an adult. I blame it on televison, the glossy magazines I love to look at and me being lazy. I'm a big Richard Scarry and Edward Gorey fan.
Joel Sternfeld, Robert Adams, Joel Meyerowitz, Richard Misrach, Stephen Shore, William Christenberry, Lemmy (again), Waylon, Keef, Eggleston, Lee Friedlander.
What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?
You will sink in a mire. You like to think you're normal, but deep down you really just want to strip off your clothes and roll around in chicken fat.
