Sushi that isn't too salty, Roger Ebert's most bitter and cynical reviews (come back soon Rog!), crazy loud music, soft and deeply depressing music, vintage t-shirts at non-vintage prices.
Lily Tomlin, Jim from 'The Office', and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Okay, mainly Jim from 'The Office'.
Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, REM, U2 (yeah, I can't help it), Muse, The Decembrists, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The New Pornographers, The Strokes, Bob Dylan, Ben Folds (as well as the Five), Where's Moo, Arcade Fire, Television, Wilco, The Libertines, We Are Scientists, Kings of Leon, Ben Harper, The Secret Machines, Wolf Parade, and a whole lotta classical.
Fargo, Magnolia, Being There, The Philadelphia Story, The Player, Short Cuts, The Silence of the Lambs, Young Frankenstein, The Natural, The Naked Gun, The Hours, Adaptation, The Fugitive, Me and You and Everyone We Know, West Side Story, Moulin Rouge, In the Bedroom, Candyman (oh my god still freaks me out), The Great Mouse Detective (has always been my fave Disney film)
Deadwood, The Simpsons, Arrested Development (R.I.P.), Seinfeld reruns, Entourage, The Office, that stupid Jumbone giant dog bone commercial makes me laugh uncontrollably for some reason.
the perks of being a wallflower, the catcher in the rye, the amazing adventures of kavalier and clay, crime and punishment, the sun also rises, who's afraid of virginia woolf? (technically, not a book), the fountainhead, three junes (closest I'll ever come to chick lit), the world according to garp, and yes, I did enjoy the da vinci code. But, we can do better than that, can't we?
Anybody breaking the mold, saying what they mean, and using proper grammar along the way.
