So, so many.... baseball, books, and Buffy. Gargoyles, architecture, particularly Romanesque and Gothic. My favorite building in the world is the Natural History Museum in London, check it out: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/ Love stone and marble, even concrete and plaster, they all have such a great texture. Someday I want to create my own gargoyles. Northern Renaissance art; hate organized religion, but love the art it produces! Music has always been a passion. Cats, big and small--and my favorite thing to do is rub my nose in their bellies, such a great smell, and if I'm lucky, the cat likes it too!!

Here are just a few of the pics from my trip, someday I may add more, if you're lucky!

I love music and I have a wide variety of tastes, everything from Death Metal to Classical, old Ludwig Van is still my favorite composer--pure genius. I like singer/songwriters such as Tom Waits, Elvis Costello (pre-Bacharach phase!), and especially Kirsty MacColl. Many probably haven't heard of her, but she's fabulous and is worth checking out. I still remember vividly when I found out that she died, I was crushed. Check out these sites if you're interested: Justice for Kirsty campaign: http://www.JusticeForKirsty.orgKirsty's official website: http://www.KirstyMacColl.com/Leonard Cohen is by far the greatest lyricist, I lose myself in his words. I'm currently addicted to System of a Down and anything involving Chris Cornell's sexy voice!Definitely my favorite indie band(s) would be anything involving Just Me Records :)
These are in no particular order, but are among my favorites: Aguirre, Wrath of God; Oscar & Lucinda; Pillow Book; Trues Stories; True Romance; Moulin Rogue (love Baz Luhrman); Parenthood; love the Xmen flicks and can't wait for the new one; Batman flicks are good too, some more than others.....and the list goes on and on and on.........
Buffy is the best show ever! My Name is Earl & House among current faves. My interest in Lost now is a love/hate one--I love hating it, and yet I have to watch it anyway!! The new Dr. Who series is great, if for no other reason than they didn't change the awesome theme tune. My roomies recently got TiVo and it'll suck if I ever have to move out, of course I'll have to buy a TV before I can get the TiVo to go with it ;)
'100 Years of Solitude' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a beautiful book, I'm told 'Love in the Time of Cholera' is great too, but haven't got around to it yet. 'To Kill A Mocking Bird' is still one of my faves (as is the movie). 'Dearly Devoted Dexter,' and 'Darkly Dreaming Dexter,' by Jeff Lindsey, are fun reads for those who enjoy liking serial killers! 'Life of Pi,' by Yann Martel rocks on so many levels, can't wait to see the movie (hope it does it justice). 'Trace Evidence,' by Elizabeth Becka (love the fact that she lives in Cape Coral and that I've met her a couple of times, and that the book is really very good and she's working on a sequal). Charlaine Harris has a plethora of great books, as does Neil Gaiman. Yet again, this list could get long, so I'll end saying that Charles Dickens is still one of my fave authors.
My Grandmothers, Olive and Ivy. I have many, many more, but I'll just stick with them.
