Music:
No rap, no country, no Britney, no way. I like trance/energy for the gym, running, partying, etc, and I like alternative for listening at work and in the car. My current favorites are Above & Beyond, DJ Tiesto, ATB, iiO, Dido, Keane, Coldplay, Muse, The Killers, Something Corporate, Snow Patrol and Imogen Heap.
Movies:
Where movies are concerned, I like the big action blockbusters, horror films, foreign and indy movies, and the occassional animated movie. As long as there is something redeeming about it, I'll sit though the show, but I have walked out before. Just don't ask me to sit through a comedy with Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey. I have to draw the line somewhere. Of course, I did see all three Saw movies so maybe I don't really have any taste after all.
Television:
I rarely get a chance to watch tv because I'm always at the gym or out with friends, but there are a few shows I like to catch when I am home. CSI, Law and Order, House, Dirty Jobs, and Project Runway all come to mind as shows I end up surfing to. Oh, I can't forget Nip/Tuck. It has to be my favorite for the sheer insanity of the show.
Books:
I must confess that I'm pretty lowbrow when it comes to my reading selection. I like a nice escape that doesn't require too much brainpower. Favorite authors include Dean Koontz, Clive Cussler, Patricia Cornwell, Michael Crichton, Ken Follett, Steven King, Iris Johansen, and James Patterson.
