Interests

  • General

    Way too much Sims2 lately. One more expansion pack really will be the death of me. I'm sure. The addiction continues. Just when I've put the game down, started to detox, they come out with an expansion to suck me back in again. The Sims are like crack. I need an intervention.

    A more recent addiction that I've almost beat is Zuma, one of those simple little games that suck you in. If you have a job that you need to keep, a child you need to care for, or a relationship with someone you love - do not start playing this game.

    My time spent in Japan...

    ...is to blame for my Hello Kitty obsession:

  • Music

    Lately country, sung loud along with the radio, by me, to the windshield audience while on my hellish commute, trying always to decide which one I could get away with singing at karaoke once everyone else is drunk enough. And then I stay home on Friday/Saturday nights.

    (Sometimes I sing to my cats =^..^= meow)

  • Movies

    Entirely too many movies to list. But here's a random sampling of the first few to come to mind in no particular order:

    Waiting (OMG did I laugh! Didn't expect to like this & loved it!)
    Office Space
    St Elmos Fire
    Hustle & Flow
    Heights
    Crash (see this if you haven't - incredible)
    The Cooler
    When Harry Met Sally
    Where the Heart Is (but the book is even better!)
    Secretary
    50 First Dates
    How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
    Pieces of April (I *love* this movie)
    Stand and Deliver
    Lost in Translation (really good story, but sad that they didn't love the whole Japan thing)
    March of the Penguins
    Million Dollar Baby
    Top Gun
    Working Girl
    What's Eating Gilbert Grape
    Monsters Inc
    Finding Nemo
    Miss Congeniality
    Almost Famous
    American Pie
    Big
    Billy Maddison
    Castaway
    Cinderella Man
    Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
    Christmas Vacation
    The Apartment
    The Family Man
    Freaky Friday
    Mean Girls
    Grease
    Grease 2
    Green Mile
    Grand Canyon
    House of Sand and Fog

    That's just the top few...

  • Television

    ..Ugly Betty
    Lost
    Deperate Housewives
    Apprentice
    ER
    My Name is Earl
    The Office (Best Show Ever!)
    Wife Swap (never tell!)
    Beauty and the Geek (never, never tell!)
    fluffy cotton candy for the mind "reality" shows.
  • Books

    ..Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts is the book I grew up thinking I would someday write, and then Billie did, and she wrote my favorite book in the entire world. The movie was OK, but not nearly as delicious. Lots of other good books I've loved, but nothing quite like this one.

    Lately, every Sujata Massey book written so far in the Rei Shimura series. Such good stuff and so many memories of Japan while reading.

  • Heroes

    ..1. People who protect children and animals.
    2. People who are there when scary tragedy in any form strikes.
    3. People who take time from their lives to do something useful for others.
    4. My local barista.

    In that order.

Lattes, my kitties, Mo, figuring out a way to never have to work again, waterfalls, and finding my place next to the ocean are my passions. Oh, yah, and anything Japan, Hello Kitty and my Sims2 addiction. Most of the rest doesn't really matter.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North..
 

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
