things... and such
other people who grew up in lower-class redneck neighborhoods and turned out ok.
anything folky or with soul. I'm a sucker for current rap jams.
the jerk, welcome to the dollhouse, city of god, grey gardens, american movie, grizzly man, talk to her, coal miner's daughter, any david lynch, any wes anderson, any christopher guest.
arrested development, the office, food network, extras, makeover shows. I also must confess my love for TLC programs on various rare diseases and/or disabilities. the one on primordial dwarves is my current favorite.
finally finishing middlesex.
mom and pops.
