Anyone passionate about anything... I want to be around someone who is looking for their muse (which is an active thing), as opposed to looking to be amused (a passive thing)...
Independent films because they give me something to think about... I also enjoy older movies mostly guy stuff: Clint Eastwood ("The Eiger Sanction" is a fav), Charles Bronson ("The Mechanic" is another fav), etc....
TV Food Network ("Good Eats" is a MUST see), HGTV, TLC, DIY, Discovery Home Channel are my mainstays... Along with TNT with shows like "Law and Order", "NYPD Blue"... and the Family Channel for "Gilmore Girls"...
A own 9-10 shelf feet of food related books... I enjoy cook books with few or no recipes!!! Food science, wild foods, probiotic foods (stuff like yogurt, saurkraut, wine (haven't made that in a while), vinegar (yes, I have made that too)...I do diverge into many other areas too... I have just about finished reading everything I can find of John Steinbeck ("Grapes of Wrath", "Of Mice and Men", etc etc etc)... So, my interests do vary...
Anyone who goes after what they want even though it doesn't match other people's expectations... That takes real courage...
