Reading anything I can get my hands on, listening to talk radio, jewelry (although I have sworn I will not acquire any more), my dogs, running and generally keeping healthy.
I would have liked to have met Gandhi, MLK and my maternal great grandmother.I would like to meet adventurers (to hear of their travels)...dreamers (to listen to their flights of fancy)...poets and writers...anyone with a creative flair and a desire to always learn and discover new things.
Music defines me and my mood and the variety is endless. To make this easier...I'll break it up in three categories: a) in my car - Gwen, 2 different Chili Peppers, Gorillaz, Alanis, Juanes; b) my Iriver - LAMB, Sarah, Chili Peppers, Mary, Outkast, Future Beats, Lauryn Hill, Marroon 5, The Killers (and I have LOTS of space left); c) my room - Sarah, Tori, Erykah, Sting, Mary, DMB and Annie and, d)Stuff I grab quite often – Fiona Apple, U2, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Billie Holiday, David Bryne, Celia, REM, Led Zepplin, Rush, Sheila Chandra, Lenny Kravitz, Nikka Costa, Joss Stone, Beck and Common. I have a collection of Concert DVD's that I enjoy.
Movies directed and/ or produced by Ivory-Merchant, Peter Greenaway, Tarantino, Almodovar, Saura...the list is endless...
Thanks to my girl, I have found a new appreciation for TIVO! LOL! The L word - for sure! My latest addiction is the Travel Channel (can you say I WANT TO GET AWAY). I also love UnWrapped and the Secret History on Food Network (as if I cook...lol). I love Nip / Tuck (can't wait for it to begin). Big Love was great. House and Prison Break (yeah, I know...but it was so good). Family Guy and Robot Chicken...LOL...I love cartoons.
The Hunger, the Witching Hour (I must have vampires and witches on my mind)and the Lucifer Principle (it is NOT what u think, it is a HUGE compendium of information) are the first that came to mind...but I can't list in any particular order what I have read and loved. What is currently sitting by my bed side - Wallpaper Magazine, The Isaiah Effect and Sacred Numbers. What I am looking forward to reading soon - Devil in the White City.
My mother, my grandmother and all those that have died for my freedom!
