Going to the gym, running by the lake and looking at people's butts jiggle as they run, eating at ethnic restaurants to ease my liberal guilt, urban issues, debate, looking up words I do not know on dictionary.com, politics, hating Bush, CNN junkie, professional sleeper and breather, counting tiles, social justice, annoying people with my rhetoric, double booking my Saturday nights, seeing how many yellow lights I can blow, dollar stores, looking at the free section of craigslist, pretending I know what I am doing, staring, honking at people cuz of my terrible road rage, random road trips, gatorade, TV, shopping at Target, and anything else that fits my fancy
This is like one of those "who from history would you invite to dinner?" questions isn't it? Too much pressure, so I leave it blank.
Interpol, The Bravery, The Faint, Cut Copy, Pixies, Feist, The Epoxies, The Editors, Tori Amos, Tool, all the 70s/80s Anti punk bands, Queens of the Stone Age, Peter Bjorn, The Smiths, Calexico, X Marks the Pedwalk, She Wants Revenge, The White Stripes, 80s music, VNV Nation, The Doors, and so many others that I cannot think of!
Requiem for a Dream, Bridget Jones 1 only, Sex and Lucia, Kill Bill, Lost Boys, Sixteen Candles, Tim Burton, and Dancer in the Dark. I also dig movies that waste your money like 13 going on 30, Cheaper by the Dozen, and you get the point. I like films that win awards in foreign countries but when you see them you are bored. I am also a sucker for love stories, especially the ones that deal with snooty aristocrats from England and penniless love interests.
Cheaters because it exploits people's feelings, thats funny. COPS because it makes me feel classy. The Simpsons, but none of its knockoffs. CNN, TLC fix up shows, Discovery Channel's one hour explanation of history, shows on WYCC channel 20 from the 80s that explain the use floppy disks, and reality garbage is great.
Children's books, James Joyce and his sexy ways, Voltaire, Tolstoy, I get suckered into Jane Austen novels. Lovecraft, sometimes Marx, sometimes Durkheim, and Simmel. Bourdieu when I can understand his Shakespeare style density, always love me some Foucault (thats a lie)...and the biggies are Fountas and Pinnell books.
My momma!
