Music, Books, Animals, protecting my rights as an American citizen, understanding (or trying!) other people and their cultural differences, forensics, law, archeology, decorating & art, occult, history. The love of my life is Iggi - he's around 24-lbs, furry, sweet, funny, bratty and adorable. He's a 3-yr old mostly Maine Coon cat who my landlady talked me into adopting and I've never regretted it. He walks on a leash, fetches, lets me give him tubbies & is my bestest pal. Oh yeh...I guess I should say I like guys -with a good sense of humor I can be myself with, who "get" I'm not out there to hook one of them. Been there! done that! Not goin' back! The only "guy" in my home is the fuzzy one mentioned above - anyone else will be a temporary visitor at best.
Bill Clinton, Tommy Lee. Hmm....seems like there are similarities there....altho T-bone isn't a Rhodes Scholar. Would have loved to meet Janis Joplin or Jim Morrison (or at least got drunk with them!) After reading two auto-biographies on Eleanor Roosevelt I really wish I could have met & talked with her ~ this woman was so ahead of her time (and sorely missed as a voice of reason in the current political climate). She honestly tried to make the best of this country & believed in it. Geronimo, Crazy Horse...because I truly believe Native Americans deserve a voice and were certainly kinder to this country we call our own. Finally, with his passing, wish I could have met Steve Irwin...but since that is an impossibilty now, I'd still love to meet his wife & kids & all his crocs.
Most music altho not fond of opera, twangy overdone country or rap. All rock, from the 50's to now, classical, Latin, disco (oh shut up! I just cop to it), jazz, blues, etc. try to be discriminating in my tastes....R Carlos Nakai... Motley, gimme Cult!...Kinks!...Yardbirds!, Stones!, Doors!, Janis!, The Donnas...and then there's Bach, Lizt, ad infinitum...and let me just mention some local talent that deserves to be mentioned: my own guys of course as well as The Raw, Promised Eden, RIPT, SSB, The Fighting Cocks, King Rex, Sharky, Musclecah, Jaded, Jimmy D'Angelo and Deep Six....
OLD favs: Bell~Book & Candle, Auntie Mame, To Kill A Mockingbird, Holiday Inn/White Christmas, Philadelphia Story and the old horror classics (Dracula, Frankenstein, The (org) Mummy, The Wolfman....NEW FAVS: The Mummy, Practical Magic, Murphy's Romance, Sense & Sensibility, From Dusk Till Dawn, Mask Of Zorro, Pirates of the Caribbean...and then the Mel Brooks stuff - Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Dead & Loving It...
ER, Gilmore Girls, all of the Law & Orders, both CSI's, History Channel, Discovery, Food, HGTV, Weather Channel, Animal Planet (yup, I adored the Croc Hunter, mates); reruns of Buffy, Sex & the City. I HATE sports, don't watch sit-coms, game shows, or so-called "reality" shows. CUZ THEY SUCK.
Preference: murder mysteries (fiction or non), occult sciences, voodoo; James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Tami Hoag, Agatha Christie...also books on Salem, MA or New Orleans and haunted areas, nature, history...and abnormal pychology...
My mom, Eleanor Roosevelt, Zorro, The Irwins, my bandmates & their wives / also Jimi & Ronnie from SSB,plus Butch! and last but certainly not least, my best friend Joceline who I love and trust implicitly & completely.
