I'd like to meet:
Conan O'Brien and Buster Keaton. Please, oh please... Well, Buster's dead...so running into him at this point could be a bit unpleasant. Running into Daniel Craig, however, would be QUITE pleasant indeed. For the record, if I were to wake up with Ewan McGregor I damn sure wouldn't kick him out of bed. Rock his world, make him breakfast...sure. Kick him out of bed, NEVER. Same goes for Jack White. Here's a grand idea: how about BOTH of you come on over and we make a little kitten sandwich?!
Music:
Currently obsessed with FEIST! The Beatles ~ Dresden Dolls ~ Faithless ~ White Stripes ~ Keane ~ Bjork ~ Black Eyed Peas ~ The Young Immortals ~ Imogen Heap ~ Jason Mraz ~ Anna Nalick ~ Natasha Beddingfield ~ Kay Starr ~ Dressy Bessy ~ Weezer ~ She Wants Revenge ~ Sugar Cubes ~ Muse ~ Jonny Lang ~ Faith Hill ~ Janis Joplin ~ Frank Sinatra ~ Jo Dee Messina ~ Flogging Molly ~ Jamie Cullum...just a few of my perennial favorites (I've seen 12 from this list LIVE so far!). I have a soft spot for music from the first half of the 20th century. The only music I have a problem with is really screamy metal ~ what's the freaking point?
Movies:
Pulp Fiction ~ all of the James Bond films (especially Casino Royale...Daniel Craig, yum!) ~ Clockwork Orange ~ Kill Bill 1 & 2 ~ Harold and Maude ~ The Rocky Horror Picture Show ~ Good Fellas ~ Boondock Saints ~ Casino ~ Hard Days Night ~ All Things Are Illuminated ~ Breakfast on Pluto ~ Ferris Bueller's Day Off ~ Notes on a Scandal ~ Sliding Doors ~ Caddyshack...for starters. I'm also a big fan of silent films...especially those by/with Buster Keaton.
Television:
Sex and the City ~ The Amazing Race ~ Most Haunted ~ The Office ~ My Name is Earl ~ Coupling ~ What Not to Wear ~ Miami Ink ~ Family Guy ~ Survivor ~ The Deadliest Catch ~ hell - reality TV in general - and good documentaries. Anthony Bourdain and Rick Steve's travel shows give me wanderlust in a BAD way!
Books:
I love historical novels - especially if there's a good bit of fiction mixed in - and biographies of people I admire. Anything with a vampire in it is OK by me. I loves me some vampires! Authors: Stephen King, Anne Rice, Charles Bukowski, John Kennedy Toole, William Golding, James Clavell, Janet Evanovich, M.M. Kaye, J.K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer...I could go on and on. I love to read!
