Music:
I like all kinds of music. You name it, I probably have it, or something just like it.
Movies:
I love stupid comedies. Drop Dead Gorgeous, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, Napolean Dynamite, Spaceballs, Chaplin films..just to name a few. Capote, Transamerica, Donnie Darko, Clue, Love Actually, Cool Hand Luke, etc.....
Television:
I like my TV like my movies. Stupid/smart comedies. Arrested Development, Scrubs,Ugly Betty, Deperate Housewives, Will n Grace, South Park, Reno 911, Family Guy, Grey's Anatomy, Daily Show, Heros...etc, etc.
Books:
I don't get to read as much as I'd like. Some of my favs include "In Cold Blood" Truman Capote, "Harry Potter" series, "Different Seasons" Stephen King, "Tales of the City" series, anything by Augusten Burroughs (Running w/ Scissors), "The Snow Garden" Christopher Rice
Heroes:
Hmmm...heroes is always a difficult one with me. I don't count sport stars as heros. Those are just talented people. They didn't better mankind by making lots of money and using their body for a couple of years. In general I count people such as the armed forces, policemen, firemen, teachers, etc. as the true heros of the world.
