I can't possibly list it all; it always needs to be updated, but that should give you a rough idea. One of these days I'm going to alphabetize the list. LOL ;)
Not really into rap and country. Though I do like some old-school hip hop.
Movies
I'll pretty much watch anything: Asian films, dramas, comedies, action/adventure, independent films, sci-fi/fantasy. I don't like gratuitous horror flicks too much, though.
Television
I LOVE THE FOOD NETWORK... Alton Brown, Paula Deen, Nigella Lawson, Ina Garten, Tyler Florence, Jamie Oliver, Anthony Bourdain. I am anti-Bobby Flay and anti-Scamdra Lee, though. Rachael Ray is annoying, too.
Battlestar Galactica Project Runway House Fringe Nip/Tuck Monk Burn Notice Law & Order: SVU Top Chef Hell's Kitchen Kitchen Nightmares Iron Chef Japanese Iron Chef America Next Food Network Star Family Guy The Daily Show The Colbert Report
And when I had cable...CNN, Animal Planet, Discovery Channels, History Channels, TLC, HGTV, Style Network, E!.
Oh, and the RETRO-ACTIVE channel on MUSIC CHOICE! But that's obviously for background music. :)

Yes, I like to read.

DJ Marilyn Thomas is one of Philly's most recognized female DJs. She is available for bookings at nightclubs, bars, lounges, and other venues where DJ equipment is provided. Please send a message for more information.
DJ Marilyn Thomas has been a nightclub DJ for over 8 years, spinning dance music for the masses in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and the greater Mid-Atlantic area. With a distinct passion for 80s new wave, she has carved her niche as Philly's reigning 80s Queen.
While 80s new wave continues to be her specialty, her ability to spin a variety of old and new electronic dance music, rock music, and party anthems has solidified her stance as one of Philly's most recognized female DJs.
She has had multiple appearances at the following clubs:
As much as obviously I love the goth/industrial scene, and of course 80's nights, there are very few parties that feature music from the new "mainstream" alternative, and friggin no one is touching the "electronica" of the mid 90s anymore. Club music these days is either Britney or Combichrist.
miss marilyn. Twas sooo very nice our last fun women's wknd. Must plan sthg again soon. I am going to steal you away for Spring Break or sthg. Maybe it will be warm at the Shore and could collect shells and make sandcastles...
Reeeeeeallly? DO you have the date for that handy, because I'd be all about going to see them. Definitely a band I want to catch before they inevitably blow up.
I heart my pretty rainbow luvva!!! Tell Vlad he's gotta move on over!!!
