Keeping my kitty happy and trying to teach Jax something new so he'll stop cat calling guests when they come over. Going to the gym, dancing, opera, jigsaw puzzles (laugh all you want but I never grew out of it), snowglobes, playing the piano, tea hats, peacock feathers, candles, thai cuisine, martini's, and a plethora of other silly things.
"Ligeia" - Harry Clarke

Television:
Being that I don't have cable my options are quite limited.
Currently I'm starting a "penny jar" so I can pick up the complete series of Rome in a few months since it's now available on dvd..woohoo! And I am not ashamed to admit that I love CSI...and Law & Order. Yes that's right...not ashamed.
Books:
Art books covering the Pre-Raphaelites, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau. Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors..if you know his works then you know that I need not say anymore. "The Master and Margarita" Mikhail Bulgakov. Laurel K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series (yes I know..I am very aware it's gothic cheese but it's fun to read). Robin McKinley's "Sunshine" is one that I highly recommend. Harry Potter. Charlotte Bronte's "Wuthering Heights".
PG Wodehouse. And I've always enjoyed graphic novels.
