Discovery, Discovery Health, National Geographic, PBS, Sundance and IFC. I love documentaries and I love to see animals mate. Might as well learn something while killing your brain and diminishing your mojo. Props to VH1 for "I love the: 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 90's (part deux)". James is the man on The Actor's Studio. I CAN'T STAND TRASHY TALK SHOWS AND OVER-DRAMATIZED REALITY SHOWS! But, of course, all the neanderthols provide them with the ratings they need to stay on-air.
Conversations with God, tons and tons of plays (esp. Neil Simon and John Patrick Shanley), Racism 101, Stupid White Men, various art books, various spiritual/self-help, A Higher Taste (the whole first half of this Krishna semi-cookbook made me go veggie!) Behold a Pale Horse used to be one of my faves. Now it kinda makes me laugh. When I first read it I thought it was the Torah, Bible, and Qur'an combined. Then again, I was younger and impressionable. Had to mention it for all the myspace teenie boppers. Currently reading Spiritual Midwifery...it's pretty good...
My daughter, my beloved maternal grandparents, my mom, my bro, and most importantly ME because "THE TRUE GURU IS THE SELF"!!!!
