Social Psychology, the human condition, people of all kinds, travel, talking, and talking some more, step aerobics, dancing, changing my mind...or not.
Old Texas friends. I miss you. Come back.
Prog rock, especilly early Genesis and Yes, guitar rock, esp. classic grunge, and many other things you hate, probably. In more popular genres, I like the Beasties, Stereolab, Nouvelle Vague, the Decemberists, Soundgarden, Hall and Oats, Metallica, and Willie and Waylon and the boys. Isn't it obvious?.
All things Monty Python. esp, The Life of Brian, PT Anderson, Wes Anderson, Coen Brothers, David Lynch, Woody Allen, Seth Rogen, Judd Aptow, contrived but interesting films with humor...How could anyone have a complete list??
Documentary programming on PBS, South Park, Weeds, Sopranos, Big Love, Lost, Battlestar Gallactica, Extras, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mommy Swap, Thursday night on NBC, Freaks and Geeks, contrived but interesting tv with humor. And lots of it.
Harry Potter Series, His Dark Materials series, Great Gatsby, David Sedaris, all things Jose Saramogo, most Margaret Atwood. I'm inconsistent with books: binge then starve (while surviving on podcasts, Times online, and the New Yorker).
Bill Moyers, Kurt Lewin, Malcolm Gladwell, people who acknowledge how social forces and subtle cues guide individual behavior, all the teachers that encouraged me despite my incessant chattiness and precociousness, Most of all, my parents, my sisters, and my husband.
