Do my favorites match yours? Any suggestions?
I don't usually do 'favorites' list, because I don't know what my favorites are and am trying to not be so much of a blowhard. So I tried to sit down and figure out what they may be, which I just asked myself, "What do I watch/read/listen to/do all the time? What would be my first choice?" It'd be cool if you could tell me if you have any further suggestions to further my mind and choices! I love all of your opinions. Especially movies and TV, since that's what Im getting myself into. I can't watch scary movies, but everything else is a go.
Movies:
Chaplin, The Lives Of Others, Wet Hot American Summer, Gangs Of New York, Meet Me In St. Louis, Peter Pan, The Last Mistress, The Little Mermaid, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Chocolat, Almost Famous, Across the Universe, Under the Tuscan Sun, The Assassination of Jesse James, Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally

News/Magazines:
Entertainment Weekly, Vogue, Seattle Weekly, BBC & NY Times (online), Better Homes and Garden (September-December), and until November, many political campaign websites (Moveon.org is pretty obnoxious with their emails).

Coffee choices, when I'm:
poor:
Drip coffee from home with Hazlenut creamer (what I'm drinking now, hay)
lazy:
French Press organic coffee from PCC with raw sugar
at a stand:
double short Americano with three raw sugars and a little chocolate
at a Starbucks:
tall soy chai latte, more soy than chai because I'm lame and like it sweet, not spicy
when I wanna feel fancy:
Cafe Ole!
I don't know, should I even do music? We're all so defensive of this category! Well, I'm not, I just wish I were.
At the point in my day were there's time for music, I go to what I know and what is comforting, which is not a proud point, but just what happens. If someone hands me an album, I usually like it and then only listen to that album for 2 weeks.

(This is where I really need some help. I pick up all sorts of books all the time, but stop reading them if I don't like it 5 or so chapters in)
Harry Potter (oy), Madeleine L'angle series (Wrinkle in Time), Emma, Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood, The Da Vinci Code (but not Angels and Demons), The Tao of Pooh, Cat's Cradle, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, most self help books, and all things to do with the universe (like An Elegant Universe), conspiracies, scripts/screenplays, and classic stories.
Things I don't like reading:
Catcher in the Rye, The Devil Wears Prada/Nanny Diaries/Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (and all books in between), the usual girl fair. Chuck Palahniuk, My Sister's Keeper, that ridiculously long book called something Becomes Her, HOUSE ON MANGO STREET.
Tell me what you think. Would love to hear your current favorites, too!
