Good things to read, eat, grow, write about and pet. Yoga. Sunshine. Greenery. Shoes.
Hooligans.
Blur has been my consistent favorite since 1994. Outkast. I've been considering it, and I think Dr. Dre is probably the best living rapper. When "alive" is removed as a criterion, the answer is clear, unless you think that Tupac is alive and chilling with Elvis somewhere. Will Oldham. Portishead. Le Tigre. Pulp. Marilyn Manson. Christina Aguilera. Django Reinhart.
I hate more movies than I like, which is a pain in the ass. No action, unless it's Terminator 2 or Indiana Jones. No violence, unless it's the Godfather flicks or Scarface or Fight Club. No dumb comedies, unless the wizard's stopped by. Foreign? I'll always give it a try.
Nah. I've made room in my heart for two shows, thanks to iTunes. Still don't have an actual television. I don't care that Desperate Housewives is bubble gum crap, I'm addicted.
I love 'em all. The only book I ever started without finishing is Bill Clinton's "My Life" which is about 1,000 pages of what he had to eat at each stop on the gubernatorial campaign trail. Recent faves have included The Omnivore's Dilemma and Adverbs by Daniel Handler, which is how Lemony Snicket signs off on books he writes for grown-ups. I love Milan Kundera, Salman Rusdie, Shel Silverstein, and Irvine Welsh.
Everyone on this show is hot, but Peter Petrelli and Papa Bennett (swoon) are the hottest.
