likes: book-making, previews, painting, baby-dancing, amatuer documentaries, board-games, vintage guild guitars, red wine, vinyl, cooking & baking (they are two distinctly different things), cloth diapering, and other random acts of domesticity...
dislikes: winter, indian food, christmas lights, poems with titles the same as their first lines, people who use "gay" in the pejorative.

lost & studio 60... and i like to eat while watching the food channel. it's almost as fulfilling and self-indulgant as fucking while watching porn. almost.
