Oh, and cooking!!! I'm a pretty good cook, esp. international cuisines (northern Italian, Thai, Mexican, Arabic, Chinese, and Mediterranean)
Men for the most part but just about anyone really, from those who're just barely old enough to write intelligently, all the way to sexy seniors ;)
Regarding the people I invite to become friends, or those whose invitations I'll accept, well it's like the actress said to the bishop,
"I'm flexible"
Music keeps me YOUNG! I love smooth jazz, but I also get off on hot, throbbin' club beats, disco and classic pop. Other favorites include cocktail lounge stuff and vintage vocalists. I've loosened up toward some of the newer genres.
I made this music player at MyFlashFetish .com.
Adventures, indies, foreign, dramas, scifi, espionage and anything with a good chase scene!Favorites include An Affair to Remember, Moonstruck, Napoleon Dynamite, The Station Agent, Day of the Jackal, The Transporter, Ronin, On The Town, A Beautiful Thing, the Bourne movies, Stargate, The Hunt for Red October, most 007's, The Professional, Tea with Mussolini, Life Is Beautiful, A Man and A Woman, Bullitt, Torch Song Trilogy, Tora, Tora, Tora; and good (well done) war movies (but did I mention, "I hate war"?!!!).
All my favorites seem to get cancelled!!! Prime examples - The West Wing, Book of Daniel, NYPD Blue, Third Watch, Farscape, La Femme Nikita, Brooklyn South, Homicide: Life On the Streets, Hot l Baltimore. I think it's a conspiracy.
