people-watching over a cup of coffee, contemporary dance & choreography, amazing friends, improvisational dinners, puzzles, travel, hiking/walking, language and its cultural significance, sexuality and gender studies, colors, more time for any of the above
all the intelligent, fun, sexy, friends I've lost touch with over the years (and who forgive me for being really, really bad at keeping in touch)... anyone with a car who likes the occasional trip out of town to hike/explore/outlet shop... academic dorkiness and infectious enthusiasm... people who take nothing for granted... willing to question themselves and the status quo... passionate about something... people who just have to laugh at themselves
r&b and dance-worthy hip hop, bluesy jazz vocals, 80s songs i know the words to, some trip-hop and electronica, anything with an interesting rhythm
b&w films from the 30s and 40s, strictly ballroom, the wedding banquet, early muppet movies, north by northwest, the princess bride, clueless, cinema paradiso, sneakers, charlie's angels (especially when punctuated by my roommates' laughter), any good spy/suspense flick
what my roommate records on dvd (project runway, heroes, 24, top model), anything good .. midnight, and i've recently been watching old thundercats episodes while i work (ho!)
pride and prejudice, alice in wonderland, everything that rises, eloise, dorky books on language/culture/sex /gender/the body, travel/art/design/cookbooks with photos
