Food: almost any type of cuisine & also love gourmet food especially cheese, chocolate, fruit
Wine: Spanish reds - Tempranillo (Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Navarra) - the reservas
In Life: mostly the little things - witnessing random acts of kindness, discovering something new, sleeping just to dream, losing track of time talking, seeing flowers in bloom, listening to the rain, hearing rolling waves, being somewhere I've never been before, seeing a child's smile, and the good moments where time just seems to stop
People: There is a definite affinity for those who are unique, and it is my tendency to surround myself with people from various cultures and walks of life.

Music:


I like music.

Movies:


Almost all genres are enjoyable to watch. I have every category in my collection. B&W's are awesome - Casablanca would definitely be one of my favorites. Also like LOTR, Sunshine, What Dreams May Come, and many others.

Television:


If it weren't for TIVO... Amazing Race, Deadliest Catch, LOST, and Heroes

Favorite "classics" would have to be MASH & DS9.

Books:


Non-fiction.

Heroes:


Anyone past & present not afraid to stand in the face of real oppression.

Anyone brave enough to defy convention and be the first of something when faced with an uncertain & unforgiving world.

Anyone who puts their own life on the line to save or protect others, including all of our soldiers overseas. To me, politics should not diminish the sacrifices these people and their families have had to make.
