Watching movies and too much TV, reading (fiction and nonfiction), writing all sorts of things, music, finding the perfect super burrito and the tastiest, richest chocolate milkshake, shopping, loving my California cat, Dunbar, and my two Alabama cats, Socci and Lewis (who I only see once a year), spending time with interesting people doing interesting things, dancing around, shaking my head to all sorts of music you're not supposed to move that way to, curling up with a warm blanket and listening to music really loud on my headphones, collecting cute PJ pants and Junk Food shirts, making sundaes with different ice creams and fruit, nuts, and chocolate toppings, seeing triple features, watching Dunbar cower at the mighty kitten that is Rupert...mentioning random esoteric stuff at inappropriate times...
Casey in a dress, Rowena over muffins and tofutti, Eliza at a trifecta, Crystal over vegan tamales, John while he's lighting an award-winning show, Thea knitting socks and scarves, Jamie over a Lemon Drop and a Mike's Hard Lemonade, Abbey being the connoisseur of all things that are good, Lindsey officiating Sammy and Hector's wedding, Grant accepting his award for Best Documentary at The George Lindsey Television and Film Festival (but I'll accept the Oscars, whatever).
I like pop/alternative whatever mostly; I go through obsessive phases with a few (okay, more than a few) groups/artists at a time. Right now (as in what's spinning in the player this month), I'm listening to a lots of The Shins, Dredg, Mat Kearney, Say Anything, Boyskout, Music for Animals, Dashboard Confessional, Scissor Sisters, early Radiohead, Animal Collective, The Lovemakers, The Fiery Furnaces, The Dandy Warhols, The Arcade Fire, The Bravery, Belle & Sebastian, Morningwood, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Sufjan Stevens, The Elected, Matt Pond PA, Metric, Beck, The Beta Band, Interpol, Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, Rilo Kiley, She Wants Revenge, Eux Autres, Ben Lee, The Darkness, Wolfmother, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Don Omar and other Reggaeton (Dem bo beats just bump around my head).
What the hell does this mean? I like most movies, all genres. I'll go see most anything. For a good time, I like psychological thrillers with unhappy endings (as long as they don't involve dead animals) and dramas where the male characters cry and the children teach the adults a thing or two. I like horror movies, ghost stories, sex comedies, film-noir classics, heroes' journeys, whodunits, and movie musicals.I prefer to see movies in the theater, fourth row, stadium seating, with as few teenagers and two-year olds as possible.
My favorite thing, I swear! This is what I love to talk about! My favorite shows are everything I watch: Without a Trace, CSI: Las Vegas, Medium, Lost, Eureka, Rescue Me, Thief, The Shield, Criminal Minds, OZ, The Dead Zone, 24, ER, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dexter, The Unit, Heroes, Jericho, Smith, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Big Love, The Wire, Homicide: Life on the Street, Law & Order: CI and SVU, Bones, House, Supernatural, Veronica Mars, Numbers, Scrubs, Close to Home. I watch reality tv sometimes too: I like those nanny and trading partner shows as well as The Amazing Race.
