Space, the universe, and stargazing, (now doesn't that cover it all :) ), ham radio - callsign KC2OPF, scrapbooking, walking, swimming (the few months of the year it's warm enough), watching movies, like to read but don't get the time much anymore...
Any nice person with something interesting to say :)
I love most 80's New Wave and other rock, especially the Fixx, and much of what is termed "classic rock", especially Queen. I also love the solo efforts of my favorite bands' members, including Cy Curnin's new solo album, The Returning Sun!Photobucket Album
Thrillers, horror movies where the gore actually advances the plot (otherwise they just gross me out), sci-fi, action flicks, dramas. Not as much of a comedy or romance person, though I loved The Terminal. I like M. Night Shyamalan movies.
Lost, ER, The Amazing Race (though I get frustrated with how bad some of the contestants make Americans look)! I was a big Northern Exposure fan while that was on.
Have read a lot of Star Trek and Star Wars books, enjoy medical thrillers by authors like Robin Cook and Michael Palmer, and murder mysteries. When I do go the girly route, I enjoy Irish author Cathy Kelly (my aunt introduced me to her books). One of the most interesting books I've read in the last few years was Boy's Life by Robert McCammon...an interesting mixture of fantasy, murder mystery, and a tale of a boy's childhood. I think it affected me deeply because I invented an elaborate fantasy of my own as a child as escapism.Also have to put in a plug for One At A Time: A Week In An American Animal Shelter by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer. In a society where we not only throw away things we have no use for anymore, but actual lives, this book forces us to face the consequences. Equal parts heartwarming, sobering, and even graphic, you'll sympathize with not only the animals, but those trying to save them against terrible odds. You'll not likely find the book in stores, but visit their website at www.novoiceunheard.org .
My friends. Without you, I couldn't and wouldn't want to go on.
