Massage and the human body, Politics (mostly liberal), Hockey (Penguins!), crocheting, and hanging out with my best friend.
In order of admiration: Arlo Guthrie, Bill Maher (though I'd seem really dumb in comparison), Penn & Teller, Al Frankin, Janine Garofalo, Stephanie Miller, David Cross, Carrot Top (laugh at me if you wish), Drew Barrymore, Robin Williams.

I'm getting so old lately, my musical taste is lame these days. I Still really love folk music. I know more what I don't like than what I do. I don't like rap (unless it's funny), country (unless it's folky), opera (unless it's on stage), or boy bands (EVER).
I'm not sure I can pick just a few favorites, but I can say that I prefer comedy. I like my comedy on the R rated side. The dirtier the better. The best comedy (stand up or otherwise) is the kind that makes me laugh so hard I cry and nearly piss myself. I love to laugh hard enough that my face and ribs hurt the next day.
The Office, Earl, Scrubs, Law and Order, Men in Trees and Nip Tuck.. Most things on Discovery, Animal Planet, Comedy Central and TLC. Oh yeah, and my Friday night ritual, "Real Time" If I'm too pooped to make it through, I catch the repeat on Saturday. Never missed an episode.
Gotta be Harry Potter. I'd like to say that I read a lot of political books, but I don't really, I just buy them and they sit and wait 'til I have time for them. Maybe someday soon, I'll get some of them read. 'Til then, hubby reads them and gives me the reader's digest version. The ones waiting for me right now are Al Frankin's "The Truth, (with Jokes)" I don't think I even finished "Lies, and the Lying Liars", never even started George Carlin's "When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops" and I'm pretty sure there's 1 or 2 Bill Maher books hanging around waiting for me. Man, I have some serious catching up to do!
I don't believe in heroes, and superheroes are dumb with their pansy tights, unrealistic powers and stupid cornball lines and shit.
