Anyone around my own age, for friendship, or meeting back up with old friends I fell out of contact with.
Rock occasionally, though I tend more towards instrumental and world music. Loreena McKennitt, Enya, Taiko drums, didgeridoo music. Evita and Phantom of the Opera. The music scores from Last Samurai and Gladiator. VNV Nation and Bloodwire.
No particular genre, I'll see whatever catches my eye. Between a family who loves movies, and growing up in a small place where there wasn't much else to do, any movie has the potentional to be one of my favorites.
I am all about learning while I watch tv. I liked Discovery before it became all-motorcycles, all-the-time, and TLC before it became makeover shows. Now, it's Discovery Times, National Geographic, Science, History. Add a healthy dose of Adult Swim and Comedy Central. And Bones and House as my network tv favorites. And DVR is the greatest invention on earth.
I'm on a historical fiction kick right now, but really, I'm a voracious reader. Richard Preston's The Hot Zone introducd me to what I want to do with my life. Timeline, Michael Crichton, is still one of my favorite books, and I can read it in three hours. I love everything by Tom Robbins and Carl Hiaasen. Anne Rice is my guilty pleasure. Catch-22 is an accurate depiction of reality.
