Art
My favorite genre of art is surrealism. I especially like the work of M.C.Escher and Dali. You should check out their work if you haven't yet.

Books
My favorite author is Anne McCaffrey. My favorite novel to date is "The Woman Who Loved Reindeer" and I also have a soft spot for "The Rowan".
Computer Games
My all times favs include 7th Guest,Diablo,Myst,Shivers,and StarCraft. I own literally a closet full of games and software now. Sad but, true.
Men
Ben Afflect,Ben Chaplin, Val Kilmer,and Keanu Reeves (yeah,yeah I know he's "that" way he's still a hunk) can put their shoes under my bed anytime. My fav Afflect film is Armaggedon, Ben Chaplin made The Truth About Cats and Dogs absolutely wonderful, Val Kilmer rocked my world in The Saint and Keanu just does great films in general his newest is the Matrix.

Movies
I love Comedy,Disney,Fantasy,Horror,and Sci-Fi especially wide screen. Now the tough part picking my top ten.....well here they are but, not necessarily in this order. E.T.,Star Wars Trilogy, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, MIB, Poltergiest,T2,Bednobs and Broomsticks and Hackers. Just falling behind is Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Logan's Run, Speed, Back to the Future, Reckless, and Aliens.
I love vampire flicks like The Lost Boys, John Carpenter's Vampires, even stay up for the Mexican vampire flicks those are just cheesy. I like fantasy like Legend, Labyrinth, and Merlin. Horror films like House2, The Craft,and The People Under the Stairs. Also a Hitchcock fan Psycho and Rear Window. Have also been known to stay up for the groovy movies like Return of the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (early George Clooney) and Beast Master (all three).
Music
I am a very heavy shopper of CDnow (must check it out) and cdjapan (good import spot). My favorite kind of music changes constantly but, currently into industrial, techno, hard rock and heavy metal. Currently listening to Angra,Chromakey,Garbage,Liquid Tention Experiment,Morphine,Orgy, and Stabbing Westward to name a few but, give me a week and this selection will probably change. I love soundtracks like The Saint, The Faculty, La Femme Nikita and Hackers.
I also have taken an interest in Dream Theater and Subtlerge that a friend turned me onto.
Places
Well I have been to 48 states, 4 Canadian Providence,various spots in the Carribean,and a couple of Mexican states. I have a wish list for the absolute trip: Great Britain, France, the Iberian Penisula, Italy, Tuscany,Greece,and Australia/New Zealand now that would be a trip!
TV Shows
Where to start? I like watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer,Felicity,and La Femme Nikita, on a regular basis. I try to catch the Sci-fi Prime Friday line up Farscape, Poltergeist the Series, Sliders and First Wave. I also catch Voyager when its on...hardly ever new. My Mom got me hooked on mysteries and detective shows when I was young so I like to watch them too. I just love TV in general.
