I love it when the bass kicks in.
travelling, thrift stores, dancing, driving to no where in particular, caffeine buzzes, collecting vintage art, tending to houseplants, stepping outside my comfort zone, music, having pride in my weirdness, NPR, long winded conversations full of punctuation, boys, flea markets, Ebay, Japanese fashion, cats, cookies, making people laugh, getting lost, reading, journalism, writing, trying to guess the next song that the dj is mixing in, collecting weird things, eyeshadow, sushi, pretending to be creative.

I'm not a big mainstream movie person. I guess I just enjoy movies that make you think and discuss, rather than glaze your eyes over for a couple hours. Yes it's nice to escape life sometimes but I'd rather have something to ponder afterward. I'm still trying to figure out some of the following: Donnie Darko, Star Wars, Elephant Parts, Rushmore, Zoolander, Dead Alive, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, The Hours, Adaptation, Office Space, Strange Brew, 28 Days Later, Mulholland Drive, Kill Bill, Garden State, Pi, Labrynth, Eternal Sunshine, Swimming with Sharks.
I don't watch much tv anymore. But I'm pretty much addicted to Lost.
Just finished Harry Potter #7!!! AWESOME. Currently reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera.
I mainly read modern literature, and I'm a sucker for the classics. I adore anything by Haruki Murakami. Other favorites: The Time Traveler's Wife, Harry Potter books, A Confederacy of Dunces, Angela's Ashes, Song of Solomon, The Bell Jar, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, Waiting. I'm always searching for a good book.
Donald Fagen, My Cat Benson, (anyone who can lick their own ass--wow), and Pee Wee Herman, not necessarily in that order.
