My people. I meet more of them all the time. Might also like to meet people who go out into the night creating crop circles or those with similarly peculiar hobbies. I’ll have you round for tea and the Missus can make her fabulous chicken with coriander sauce.
YES! I like music. All music all the time (but not that song, please, and not just now, I am rather liking the quiet). There is virtually no genre that doesn't have some redeemable quality. But I bet if you tried hard enough you could prove me wrong.
Of course I have seen all the Star Wars and Harry Potters and Lord of the Rings, but I would say my tastes in cinema are eclectic - having much more to do with what I find extraordinary and bizarre enough to remember.

Urgh. I do watch a load of televison when I hang out with my friend Rob. Go to his profile to see the master list of what's on (and stay for the pie). I can hear him now, "OMG The Venture Brother's are about to start!" heh. TV time is often when I work on creative projects, thus justifying having it on almost constantly. When I watch anime and any British shows that aren't the BBC World News I watch it alone. No accounting for taste, is there?
They are donated, sold and boxed away. I believe my sweetie intends for me to get reacquainted with the library system in the months to come. Fair enough. A small two bedroom house in the country could never contain my book buying habit. Haven't managed to lose my deathgrip on my reference books yet. I like the dictionary of phrase and fable and my books on the history of private life.
At the moment I have a warm fuzzy place for the creators of McVittie's Chocolate Digestive biscuits. Even though I take exception to the utterance of the word digestive when being offered food.
