travel, outdoor pursuits (rock, snow, mountain, beach etc.), more travel, design, naked square dancing, spanish, good food, fast beats...
people who lead inspiring lives on any level & through any means. people with passion & compassion. people who laugh often. (is that asking too much???)
electric beats (crystal method, dj shadow, chemical brothers), "alternative???" (beth orton, radiohead) and mellow/melodic stuff like sara mcglauglin, stan getz, verve remixes, kings of convenience... basically, just about anything played on KCRW (89.9 in LA)
hotel rwanda was the most disturbing, compelling movie i've seen in a while eternal sunshine of a spotless mind was my fave from last year... so clever, so true
my TV lives in the shed... i bust it out ever few years for the olympics...
kite runner is my favorite from the last year... curious incident of a dog in the nightime was great too, esp for anyone who knows someone who is autistic...
