Life changing experiences, out of this world food and wine (good beer too), finding inner peace which always seems out of reach by just a tiny bit...
Those on my path of discovery...
The Kills, Franz Ferdinand, Calexico, Iron and Wine, New Pornographers, Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, and anything that gets me revved up. I love independent bands, up and coming new-on-the-scene stuff.
okay, so I admit I am a LOST junkie. I also think Scrubs, The Office, and Earl are hilarious (it's the karma thing), but I am not into staring blankly at the tv by any means. It drives me crazy when people leave the tv on all the time, like for family dinner. Just hit the off button and have a nice dinner conversation. It's ok, really.
Funny short stories (David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, Charles Bukowski), and serious stuff like Carlos Castaneda and the Dalai Lama. And I love Sylvia Plath. All ends of the spectrum.
Wonder Woman, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joan of Arc, Hillary Rodham Clinton(you get the idea). I didn't say I was voting for Hilary though. I have time to decide.
