Music, music and more music. Opera is the one true, everlasting love of my life. But, I can't live without Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Tool, T. Rex, The Clash, and the fabulous 80's bands of my youth.I love the movies! I own everything from "The Lord of the Rings" movies to "Casablanda" to "Dude, Where's my Car." I love international travel. I've been to most of the countries in Europe, Bolivia, Morocco, Canada and Mexico. I love, love, love London, Venice, and Madrid. Each time I go to London I hope to find my husband. I've wanted to be a subject of Queen Elizabeth since I was 3!Art and Art History - my favorite artists are Bosch, Breughel, Miro, Picasso, Dali and Brancusi. I'll never forget the first time I laid eyes on Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights." I cried.Cuisine - I love to cook. I love to entertain! I cook everything from the best biscuits and gravy you've ever eaten to Tart Tatin. I love trailer trash food and I love trendy fusion!I'm a big public radio fan. I listen to WNYC on the internet every day. I also love the BBC World Service.Oh yeah, and DOGS! Although I own a Chihuahua, I love all dog breeds, especially pound puppies and rescue dogs!

I don't waste too much time with TV, unless it's HBO original programming - I watch anything they have on Sunday nights. Six Feet Under is the best show ever. I also love Deadwood, Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Rome. I love Nip/Tuck, The L Word, Queer as Folk and Seinfeld. My favorite Seinfeld is The Cigar Store Indian.
