Spending quality time with those I love (that includes my cats), discovering new music that infects me, enjoying that first cup of delicious coffee in the morning, getting lost in a good book, stimulating conversation, exploring, cooking, people watching, fine food and vino...
People of quality.. those who have something of relevance to say and who actually care to listen. People who are sincere, intelligent and funny. If you've got me laughing, you rock! People who are passionate about something, anything... Oh, and don't send me a friend request without a message, unless you want it to be ignored.
These days you'll find me listening to Rodrigo and Gabriela, Patty Griffin, Lily Allen, The Shins, The Decemberists, Cat Power, The Eraser, Black Holes and Revelations, Love is Hell, The Dust of Retreat, Both Sides of the Gun, Some Devil, and Till the Sun Turns Black... Other favorites include: Radiohead (my first love), and of course - SEER -, Feist, Tori Amos, Jeff Buckley, Ray Lamontagne, Madeleine Peyroux, The Beatles, Ani DiFranco, Clearlake, Ryan Adams, Ours, Tool, Bjork, Stevie Wonder, Janis Joplin, Aqualung, Sigur Ros, Portishead, Led Zeppelin, A Perfect Circle, PJ Harvey, The Mars Volta, Starsailor, Coldplay, Muse, Mazzy Star, Damien Rice, Lucinda Williams, Fiona Apple... love me some Atmosphere... oh, and of course I couldn't forget my man Bill Withers (cuz I know its gonna be a looovely daaay)...
Eternal Sunshine, Garden State, Waking Life, American Beauty, Vanilla Sky, Life Is Beautiful, Very Bad Things, Heathers, Ma Vie En Rose, Being John Malcovich, Magnolia, Love Actually, The Wedding Singer, The Others, 28 Days Later, Fight Club, Jawbreaker, some Andrew Blake movies ;), and I've gotta pay homage to my all-time favorite childhood movie, The Last Unicorn.
Love all those justice/forensic file shows.. "Cause I love justice! And I love files! And when the two come together..." On another note, you gotta love the Simpsons. If you don't, there's probably something wrong with you.. Same goes for Six Feet Under.
Being back in school means I don't get to read for pleasure anymore. Some very missed favorites include: The Alchemist, Cat's Cradle (love just about anything Vonnegut), The Red Tent, 11 Minutes, The DaVinci Code, Anthem, and The Tipping Point
She whose love is the warmest place the sun ever shines. I call her mom.
