samurai sudoku (ask me about it...its better than regular sudoku.), scrabble, biology, astronomy, knitting, baking, making faces, drinking coffee, movies, reading, crossword puzzles, painting, napping, and overusing ellipses...
can you hold an intelligent conversation as well as a silly one? do you think youre witty? are you strong in your convictions, but open to other ideas? apply here. NOTE: i am NOT looking for a boyfriend!
mostly, i listen to the radio. i never just listen to music; its always in the background while im doing something else. i usually listen to the radio, but i do occasionally listen to weezer, no doubt AND gwen, liz phair, res, n.e.r.d., a tribe called quest, nerfherder, jay z, weston, dancehall crashers, anything thats not too whiny.
i prefer to read the book before i see the movie. often times the book is way better. examples: the godfather, memoirs of a geisha, the da vinci code, mary poppins. my all time favorite movie is the original parent trap. here are some more movies i dig: the almost famous, borat (although it was much funnier the first time), the aristocrats, thumbsucker, donnie darko, requiem for a dream , me you and everyone we know, most 80s movies and indie flicks, willy wonka and the chocolate factory (the original) and most foreign films offered at blockbuster. i can reconcile this by saying there are a very limited number of foreign films there, so they usually display the better ones.
anything on the travel channel, most things on animal planet, m.a.s.h., BIG LOVE, family guy, beavis and butthead reruns on mtv2, my so called life, daria. and i hate to admit it, but im a sucker for shitty reality shows: real world, survivor, sweet sixteen, ANTM. i dig the channels that have informational programming, as well (msnbc, cnn, discovery and history channels). what an interesting dichotomy...

"Why do you keep saying that?" he asked in response. "Apples and oranges aren't that different, really. I mean, they're both fruit. Their weight is extremely similar. They both contain acidic elements. They're both roughly spherical. They serve the same social purpose. With the possible exception of a tangerine, I can't think of anything more similar to an orange than an apple. If I was having lunch with a man who was eating an apple and--while I was looking away--he replaced that apple with an orange, I doubt I'd even notice. So how is this a metaphor for difference? I could understand if you said, 'That's like comparing apples and uranium,' or 'That's like comparing apples with baby wolverines,' or 'That's like comparing apples with the early work of Raymond Carver,' or 'That's like comparing apples with hermaphroditic ground sloths.' Those would all be valid examples of profound disparity. But not apples and oranges. In ever meaningful way, they're virtually identical."
