Singing - karaoke, with a band and choral, biking (this is new), the MN State Fair is my favorite thing in the world (almost ;-), ice cream, cookies, ,darts, good friends
Live jazz - the Artists Quarter is the best!, Judi Donaghy - my voice teacher and the greatest singer ever! Duran Duran, Depeche Mode (child of the 80s!),W.A. Mozart, 16th century and earlier European vocal music, bluegrass, Allison Krauss,
A Room With a View, The Cutting Edge (sappy, trite and predictable - but I liked it!), Star Wars, Jersey Girl (with Jamie Gertz - sappy and trite again), Hero (unbelievably cool and beautiful Chinese movie), Lady Jane, Pride and Prejudice - the 6 hour BBC one, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Raiders, Matrix
My guilty pleasure is So You Think You Can Dance. I even voted. I don't have cable, so I don't watch much TV. Had a hard time turning it off when I had cable - so now I don't have it! If I turn it on, I like the CSI shows.
Poisonwood Bible, Mists of Avalon, Janet Evanovich and Sue Grafton mystery series, Candide (Voltaire), Shakespeare
My mom rocks. There was an elderly couple that I knew - Don and Emily, who really knew how to live life to the fullest even into old old age - they had a busier social calendar than I did. My friend Carsten - he is exactly himself.
