Check back with me in 2008.I never thought I would say this, but I heart sports. Namely baseball and football. Who'da thunk...
Your mom, obviously. Anyone who has seen Super Troopers 1,000,000 times. Anyone who can show me a good Indian restaurant around town that I have yet to visit. Anyone who will tolerate an evening at the Miller Outdoor Theater Accordion Festival with me (I will pack a vegetarian picnic!). Anyone whose car has more Democratic bumper stickers on it than mine. Anyone who thinks a perfectly lovely evening can consist of getting together for a couple of drinks and kvetching about the state of the union. Environmentalists. Vegetarians, vegans, pescetarians, raw foodies, breathatarians, omnivores, carnivores, cannibals. Freethinkers, Christians, pagans, and other. Hot Desis. Hot Jewish men. Hot anyone.ABSOLUTELY NO scientologists, straight-ticket Republicans, or Amway salespeople

I really need to watch Salaam Namaste!
Seinfeld, Seinfeld, and more Seinfeld. Did I mention Seinfeld? It's the best show in the world. And I know most episodes word for word. Try to stump me with Seinfeld trivia. I dare you. I also like Big Brother, Family Guy, The Simpsons, and Blind Date. I used to watch C-Span in high school (can you believe it's possible to be more of a politics dork than I am now?), Arrested Development is my New favorite show ever. Don't tell Jerry Seinfeld. Oh, and House, M.D. That show rocks my socks.
