Generally when i'm hanging out at home I prefer to listen to anything mellow with a piano or a guitar. and i enjoy (and miss) Seattle's radio station, KEXP.
Movies:
I love so many movies and they all have impacted me in one way or another, if nothing else, given me a great laugh. Some of my favorites that I own (or want to) are:The Science of Sleep, Mirror Mask, Garden State, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko, The Motorcycle Diaries, Real Women Have Curves, Hero, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, The Story of the Weeping Camel, A Very Long Engagement, Happy Endings, I Heart Huckabees, Waking Life, Amelie, Harry Potter movies, Lord of the Rings Triligoy, Pride and Predjudice, Finding Neverland, Big Fish, Benny & Joone, Life is Beautiful, Goodbye Lenin, Napeoleon Dynamite... etc. I love and own too many to name. I love foregin films, tearjerkers, drama's, comedy's and the occasional stupid movie like Dodgeball. The last movie I rented was: In Her Shoes, the last movie i saw in the theatre was: Pan's Labyrinth.
Television:
My favorite shows on TV now are Grey's Anatomy and House. I am also a not-so-closeted Buffy the Vampire Slayer lover.
Books:
I love books! I tend to buy tons of them, but never have time to read them. But i love how they feel in my hands, and how they smell. I'm in a book club (The Sexy Reading Club) with some of my college girlfriends, and I have great exposure to new books that way, and we have awesome discussions. I love my book club. I hope we always continue to read together in some fashion. Just completed: Chosen By a Horse. Currently reading: Animals in Translation, By: Temple Grandin
Heroes:
I don't really think of anyone being my hero, really... But I admire the strength and courage of my mother, and admire what certain people in the world have done for the betterment of others.
