Talk to me about domestic and global politics, biology, public health, sexuality, education, the visual and performing arts, music, movies, volleyball, baseball, travel, languages, or my students. But I can talk a lot about them, so you might want to cut me off at some point...
You! Well, only if you are smarter than a one-handed monkey on acid. Cuz, you know...I'm as smart as Bill Gates or something...

I am in love with Chris Brown's new track "Forever"...it's instant good mood... But for the most part, I like most of my hip hop off the charts, although I occasionally indulge in over-produced, talent-lacking crap if it has a good beat I can dance to. Unless it's so-called Southern Rap (that stuff gives me the willies). I am similarly snobbish about my Reggaeton picks, mostly listen to the less-accessible 90s reggaeton, back when one track was 25 minutes (or one side of one underground production on TAPE!!!). Besides rap and reggaeton, I also listen to salsa, merengue and bachata...y'know in an attempt not to get kicked out of the Puerto Rican community for being so edumacated ;) I listen to a lot of sappy R&B , just don't tell my boyfriend...And I have a few guilty pleasure songs in almost every genre of music: pop, pop in spanish, rock, and even country!

Any forensic/investigation shows like Forensic Files, CSI or Law and Order SVU. I like James Lipton in Inside the Actor's studio. And for reasons beyond my comprehension, I have a thing for watching those three ditsy blondes on "The Girls Next Door"
The best boyfriend ever just got me a copy of a 1st edition of Kinsey's "Sexual Behavior of the Human Female"... and that's why I love him so much!
