I love to learn, to read, to be in the sun, to be around people I love, to cook, to swim, to work hard, to travel, to garden, to dress up, to hike, to hold other people's babies, to drink hoppy beer, to snuggle Chango...the good stuff.
old friends and new ones. I always like to meet intelligent, thoughtful, fun people (no more pervin' if I don't know you...If I already know and love you, then, by all means, perve away :) I'd love to have tea with Anthony Hopkins. I'd love to ahem...we'll say 'hang out' with Angelina Jolie, pre Billy Bob and Brad Pitt. I wouldn't mind being introduced to Taye Diggs. Ooh, and Koko the gorilla. She probably tops the list (sorry, humans).
Whatever sounds good to me and is at least somewhat thoughtful...Bob Marley, Ben Harper, Erykah Badu, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Sublime, Van Morrison, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Bilal, Mos Def, Jurassic Five, Les Nubiennes, Madeleine Peyroux, Paul Simon, John Lennon, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Traveling Wilburys, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, The Eagles, John Lee Hooker, Peter Tosh, Nirvana. I know there's more...I love seeing live music, though I don't do it often enough. Oh yes, that reminds me, Tequila Mockingbird, baby
Pride and Prejudice (Colin Firth version and new version, I'm a sap), Return to Me, Life is Beautiful, Shawshank Redemption, Dirty Dancing (I'm sorry, it's SO good), The Aviary, Le Hussard sur le Toit, The Dark Side of Oz, Shakespeare in Love, Love Actually (Yep, obviously I have a thing for Colin Firth, I know it's kinda wierd, that's OK), Good Will Hunting, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (thanks Vic), Shadowlands, The Shining, Waking Life, It's a Wonderful Life, Girl, Interrupted (because that's when I discovered Angelina Jolie. prrrrrr)
Two words: Gray's Anatomy. Always loved Friends, That 70s Show, Sex and the City, and the Daily Show. Sadly, I got hooked by Desperate Housewives. I don't really watch TV (unless I get sucked into one of those Law & Order marathons).
