I am up for anything most of the time, as long as it has nothing to do with rollercoasters and other things that have to do with height, motion sickness. I hate amusement park, I think it is a biggest waste of time. I do like karaoke, after all we invented, but more on watching others sing. Contrary to popular opinion just because I am a singer does not mean that I am good at singing pop music. Of course there is always going out to a bar drinking with friends.
I listen to any kind of music. Being an opera singer does NOT mean that opera and classical music is all I listen to. In fact, I don't even like listening to opera all the time. I rather listen to any other types of music. To name a few;Kanye West, Missy Elliott, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Beastie Boys, Avenged Sevenfolds, My Chmical Romance, Fall Out Boys, System of the dawn, Evanescence, Alien Ant Farm, Metalica, Linkin Park, JoJo, Aerosmith, Smashing Pumpkins, etc., etc. Can't remember all of them. I used to listen to a lot of radio but since I got my iRiver, I download their music and listen to them on my mp3 player. I do listen to all sorts of music, from rock to rap, R&B, techno. I even got use to a very small dose of country but I really can't say that I like country. No offense, I just can't get into it. As for my classical side of my music, you have to listen to some Franco Corelli, Mario del Monaco, Giuseppe Giacomini, Gundala Janowitz, Teresa Berganza, Giuseppe Taddeo, Herman Prey, James King, George London, Ettore Bastianini, Giorgio Zancanaro, Natalie Dessay, Anna Netrebko(she is hot!), Renee Fleming, Placido Domingo, Robert Merrill, Leonard Warren, so on and so forth. Hey, I like the old singers from the golden ages...
I am a big Kevin Smith fan. I usually like the stupid comedy or action movies. Every once in a while I watch serious movies but I really got to be in a mood. Haven't seen any good movies lately though... It does help if I actually went out and see it. Oh, I love vampire movies too, especially the last few movies that came out with Kate Beckinsale. God.... She is HOT! Speaking of hot actress, Charlize Theron with anything that she was in. Italian Job was good. Ocean's Eleven. The Transportor. Oh, can't forget the kung-fu movies. I have been watching Jackie Chan movie since I was 6. I even met him in Japan when he came to do a premier. It's too bad he is doing all these movies in US. Gotta watch the old movies that he made in Hong Kong. There are so many awesome movies in Asia. Mainly in Japan and China. Mostly because those are the only movies that I have seen. Hate horror movies. Got a nightmare from my cousin made me watch Friday the 13th when I was 7. What a sick bastard... He was like 8 or 9. He loved watching those movies. I know it's stupid but because of that horrific experience I can't watch even the stupid horror movies.
I watch a lot of TV when I have a day off. Grey's Anatomy, TLC's Little Poeple, Big World. Also, many of the shows on Comedy Central(Dave Chappel, South Park) and some Cartoon Network(FAMILY GUY). Hey, gotta love the cartoons, I grew up in Japan, I practically was raised with cartoons infront of my face.
I claim that I don't read. But I do have a few. Everyone reads the Harry Potter series and so do I. I do also like other books as well. Dan Brown(I am so into the whole Da Vinci Code and it's prequel. Can't wait for the movie to come out), John Grisham, Oscar Wilde, Franz Kafka, Sir Auther Conan Doyle, Ayn Rand, Anne Rice, C.S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, J. D. Salinger, Mitch Albom, R. L. Stevenson, Beaumarchais, anything about mythology. I've been reading the Sidney Poitier book. It's great, y'all should go check it out. He has lead the artist's life.
