Wow, too many to list. Um, as far as food goes, I absolutely love
my mom's
spaghetti. I usually fix it once a
week or at the very least once every other week.
Music-wise I have a pretty broad spectrum of what I listen to, but
I just discovered
AWOLNATION; absolutely fantastic and
if you haven't listened to it, you should give it a try. Otherwise,
I'll listen to anything from the
Decemberists to
Nightwish or
Blind Guardian and
Diablo Swing
Orchestra. About the only thing I absolutely can't stand are
Country and Rap, and even there there might be 1 or 2 exceptions;
for example Cup of Brown Joy by Elemental.
My favorite movies and books are far too numerous to list but as a
small sampling. Books:
A Song of Ice and Fire,
the
Dresden
Files,
DragonLance, the
Cold Fire Trilogy,
anything by
Terry Pratchett,
Neil Gaiman, and
recently
Martin Millar.
Movies:
The Flight of Dragons
(probably had more influence on me than any other movie from my
childhood and if you haven't seen it I highly recommend changing
that right now.) The Last Unicorn, Legend, anything by Stephen Chow
with my current favorite being Kung Fu Hustle. Oh, and I just don't
like zombie movies.
