I had a lot of stuff written here before, and I realized that probably nobody read any of it. So I'll just say "kittens" and end it here.
People who have their shit together. You know who you are.
I try to incorporate a lot of different styles in my playlists. I tend to focus more on a particular song or album rather than an entire band or style. There are plenty of country songs I like, not because I like country in general, or because I have a loyalty to the artist, but because the SONGS are GOOD. I think music comes down to that: is the song good, or is it bad? I like good songs.
My favorite movie changes every other week. Typically I gravitate toward crime or cop dramas, twisted stories of espionage, comic book movies, and movies with a lot of meaning and not a lot of schlock. I believe in following the director, not the actor (with a couple of exceptions), and as with music, my taste varies a lot. There are few movies I won't give a chance.
1) Stuff that makes me laugh. 2) Stuff that freaks me out or amazes me. 3) Stuff that teaches me something I didn't know before.If you can find me something that will accomplish all three, let me know and I'll stop watching everything else.
I have phases with books. Sometimes I'll be all about historical fiction romances (like Jane Austen) for a while, sometimes it'll be modern Christian apologetics. Sometimes it's sci-fi, sometimes it's memoirs and biographies.
Morgan Webb from G4TV and Sarah Connor from the Terminator movies. And Henry Jenkins. Look him up.
