Travel, music, cooking, billiards, reading, movies, dancing.
i want to get in touch with old friends. sometimes it's tough being way out here down under, so far away from where i come from, and i need that connection with my old self.
Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Missy Higgins, Tenacious D, hip hop/pop dance music..
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Princess Bride, Shawshank Redemption, Amelie, the Lord of the Rings movies, the Harry Potters, Out of Sight, Love Actually, Brokeback Mountain, Super Troopers, anything with Will Ferrell, just about any 80's movie (Goonies! 16 Candles! Ferris Bueller!)... the list goes on and on.
Unfortunately in Australia I only get 5 channels, so I watch the news about four times a night. We get lots of American reruns, and all the new shows are about a season behind so DON'T tell me what happens, I don't want to know. I love Lost, Grey's Anatomy, House (he's so sexxy!), Sex and the City, CSI (the original). I adore the Simpsons--that always makes me feel like I'm back in the States.
Fiction, mostly. I love books of, like, 1000 pages that I can lose myself in for days. Some favorites: Stephen King (God love him), David Sedaris novels, Harry Potter, JRR Tolkien, Douglas Adams, She's Come Undone, Bill Bryson books, books good enough to get amazing movies based on them.
