greyhounds, cats; art/design, crafts, children's art, cooking (from gourmet to trailer park ..) shoes, handbags, stories in any form!
Music
Very eclectic tastes! From the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Eric Johnson to Stevie Ray Vaughn to David Byrne/Talking Heads to Andrea Bocelli to Mozart. And I love a local Texas rockabilly group called Two Tons of Steel!
Movies
The Thomas Crown Affair (remake); anything James Bond; the original Grinch Who Stole Christmas; To Catch a Thief, American Beauty, Good Will Hunting, A Fish Called Wanda, My Cousin Vinny, When Harry Met Sally, Syriana, In Her Shoes, The Departed . . . and many more!

Pierce Brosnan, (esp. in Thomas Crown Affair) Sean Connery AND Roger Moore, LOL, Patrick Dempsey aka McDreamy on Grey's Anatomy (o.k., I think McSteamy is hot, too, even if he is a man-whore, and Isaiah Washington isn't hard to look at either) George Clooney, Matt Damon, Johnny Depp?... this list is getting embarrassingly long.
Heroines: (Also all actresses or story heroines) Rene Russo, Jennifer Garner, Ellen Pompeo, Sandra Oh, Halle Berry, Amanda Peet... this list, too, could go on and on.
