Music:

Enya (i wish she would give concerts - but would everyone just be high or snoozing?)... Best of ABBA, Best of U2, Best of Queens (i'm lazy - i like the precompilated versions of everything)... Linkin Park (so cathartic to be yelling like that)... Andrea Bocelli (makes me want to learn Italian just to understand why his voice sounds like its in such heartache)...

Movies:

Cutting Edge, Shawshank Redemption, Amelie (i wish i could be in Amelie's world), A Beautiful Life, Love Actually, Finding Nemo

Television:

Alias, Smallville, Gilmore Girls (till their incessant chatter made me want to slap the tv silly to shut them up), SCRUBS (soooooooo hilarious)... they should make parodies of all professions... Reality TV junky: blindate, newly weds, the bachelor/ette

Books:

Harry Potter series (i didn't get up from my $2 red bean bag till i finished all 4 books in one sitting - the 5th book took me 1 day, didn't eat, sleep, talk, poop)... The World's Religion by Huston Smith (good objective overview on origins of the major religions on this planet)... Illusions (for philosophers)... Yellow (for my Amerasian friends out there)...

Heroes:
