Books--I love children's books. I like crime/mystery dramas, and
historical fiction and non-fiction. Enjoy Stephen King, Calvin and
Hobbes, and reading the back cover of a book and saying "this
sounds good, I'll read it." My favorites include most of the
classics we all read in high school, and anything by Dennis Lehane
or Erik Larson.
Movies--wow, I have way too many to list here. And I am very
interested in seeing movies, with an extremely long Netflix queue
to prove it. My likes are all over the place, including an entire
collection of Disney and Looney Tunes cartoons, campy comedies (one
of my favorites is The Mask, with Jim Carrey), dramas, and romance.
But I will try any movie once. If you have any suggestions, I am
open.
TV-- Southland. Glee. Chicago Fire. Grey's Anatomy. Boardwalk
Empire. Girls. The New Girl. SNL. The Newsroom. The Daily Show. 60
Minutes.
Music--A lot of the time, I like songs rather than whole albums or
individual bands. I find myself stuck in the 80's pop world lately,
as well as listening to retro 90's alt rock. Adele, B-52s,
Barenaked Ladies, Boyz II Men, Bruno Mars, Bush, Cake, Coldplay,
Collective Soul, Elvis Costello, Dave Matthews Band, Death Cab For
Cutie, eels, Florence and the Machine, Fountains of Wayne, Green
Day, Guster, Jack Johnson, Kings of Leon, Live, Van Morrison,
Mumford & Sons, No Doubt, Presidents of the U.S.A., R.E.M.,
Spoon, Gwen Stefani, Talking Heads, U2, Pentatonix. And that's just
a short list...
Food--my weakness is dessert, especially anything with chocolate. I
also like macaroni & cheese, but it has to be homemade, not
from the box, and I really appreciate a good hamburger and crispy
fries. I will pretty much eat anything that is cooked with love.
