Games (Scrabble, Boggle, Scattergories, etc.), books, television, art, design, naps. Not necessarily in that order.
Friends, past and future. People to challenge me and force growth. People to take walks or play games with.
It's fall so that means a combination, perhaps odd, of mid-90s to contemporary alternative/college/modern rock and late 80s to contemporary darker stuff. Recent playlists include: Xiu Xiu, Dead Can Dance, Slint, PJ Harvey, Yo La Tengo, R.E.M., Tears for Fears, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Walkmen, The Smiths, TV on the Radio, Cure, Mirah, Wilco, Jonathan Richman, The Sundays, Liz Phair.
I like movies well enough, but I'm not the person to talk to about film. I like: In America, Secretary, The Boondock Saints, Hable con ella, Lucia y el sexo, The Libertine, The 5th Element, Como agua para chocolate, Repo Man, and then some.
Law & Order, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Burn Notice, Californication, HEROES!, Dexter, What Not to Wear, Workout, Project Runway, etc. I'm only religious about a few. Other than that, I can watch HGTV or D.I.Y. for hours. It's disgusting, but I'll be damned if I don't like looking at pretty things.
Edna St. Vincent Millay and Pablo Neruda lately. Also, assorted children's picture books. Pancakes for Dinner is a recent favorite. As is When Panda Came to Our House.
Monday nights at 8! Shameful, I know. But honestly, isn't Mother Teresa a little trite by now?
