All things Europe, NYC, Hawaii, Japan and the Bay area, well written and acted int'l/indie films, music, mind-expanding books, intellectual conversation, learning languages, homeopathy, contemporary art that makes you think, experiencing new cultures, meeting new people, Advaita, Buddhism, meditation, yoga, Chi Gong, indigenous art, hiking, biking and camping, photography, painting, creating with friends just for the hell of it, laughing at the comedy of Robin Williams, Mitch Hedburg and Dave Chapelle, the smell of freshly brewed coffee, freshly baked bread and cookies, orchids, freesias and roses, beaches, mountains and deserts, baby animals, humming birds, ladybugs and butterflies, cooking, trying new things, discovering rainbows, warm sunny days, watching and listening to bodies of water, photographing orbs, sipping warm drinks by a crackling fire while it's raining or snowing outside, massages, kisses, hugs and cuddling!
Fun, warm-hearted, open-minded people with good attitudes who lack flakiness. If I find you talented, you can make me laugh until my tummy hurts and you can carry an in-depth conversation about anything, then you gain extra brownie points!
Oh yes, and the people who live here:

Almost anything, esp. down tempo. I LOVE Thievery Corporation, Kruder/Dorfmeister, BT, Badmarsh/Shri, Jellyfish, Beatles, Queen, The Doors, Oingo Boingo, Peter Gabriel, Weezer and Oasis to name a few. Been listening to whatever my ipod shuffles to lately. I love my talented LA musician friends, too!
Films written/directed by Tim Burton, Quentin Tarantino, Terry Gilliam, Charlie Kaufman, Darren Aronofsky, Julian Schnabel, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Christopher Guest and Michael Moore. Quirky, clever, challenging and unpredictable movies are the best...if the movie also makes me laugh, cry and get all riled up, then it was worth my $10.
Curb your Enthusiasm, LOST, The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park and Numbers. I miss Northern Exposure, X Files, Whose Line is it Anyway and SNL during the Dana Carvey days, Sex in the City and Sopranos. My guilty pleasure is American Idol.
Anything by Adyashanti, Master Sheng Yen, Michael Moore and sometimes Dean Koontz. I have enjoyed Eat, Love, Pray, Middlesex, Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and A New Earth. Trying to finish books about Feng Shui The Secret and Mad Money.
Dalai Lama, Adyashanti, Bono (the activist/environmentalist), and anyone who performs selfless acts daily.
