Love/Hate
Ahhhh, another "love/hate" list.
Authors I Love/Hate
Love: David Sedaris. There is no one funnier than this man ON EARTH. People actually try to get as far away from me as possible when I read him, because I laugh so hard, I start crying, and boogers drip out of my nose.
Hate: Sue Grafton. I've never actually read a Sue Grafton book, but I hate her titles "L is for Loser" or "S is for Suckass". How fucking unoriginal?
Hate: Dan Brown. Yes, I read the DiVinci Code. Who hasn't? Actually, if you've never read the DiVinci code, but have read another of his books, like "Angels & Demons" or "Digital Fortress", then you have, in fact read ALL of his books. Ready, this is how it goes: Man (most likely teacher or professor) and woman (probably scientist) run up against evil ancient organization/priest/monk/government official. Man dies, or so you think. Man lives. Woman lives. They get together at the end, probably at a little out of the way inn in St. Tropez/Venice/New Hampshire. End of story. SUCKS!
Music I Love/Hate
Love: Elvis Costello & The Attractions. I'm obsessed with him now, because I hate everything else that’s out. The song Oliver's Army is so great. Love him!
Hate: All of the following bands - Three Doors Down, Hoobastank, Evanescence, Cradle of Filth, New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, and pretty much any punk band out there that sucks.
Love: The Postal Service and Interpol. I didn't know until recently how much I really like these guys.
Movies I Love/Hate
Love: Garden State. It's the best thing to come out in a while, but I haven't seen Team America yet...
Hate: Fahrenheit 9/11. Ok, I don't HATE this movie, because it's really good for lefties like me who want Bush out. But I *do* hate people who see this and say "Oh! That's how it is!" NO NO NO NO NO! Yes, Michael Moore's facts can't be disputed, but he does manipulate things to fit his story line. By seeing that and taking it as is, is the same thing as these idiot right-wingers watching Fox News and doing the same thing. How bout this: Watch everything, read everything, and make up your own fucking mind. K?
Hate: The Matrix. Apparently I've never seen/paid attention to this movie, because when M explained it to me, I really had no idea. It's apparently about some computer program, when I thought it was about a stupid surfer who wears dumb clothes and trips out for a few weeks.
Love: I Heart Huckabees. I've not seen this yet, but I have a feeling I'll like it.
TV I Love/Hate
Hate: Anything with the following cast members: Jon Cryer, Charlie Sheen, John Lithgow, French Stewart, Jami Gertz, or The Cast of Friends.
Love: Lost. The best new show. Alias. Holy crap, can't wait until January.
Hate: Reality TV, EXCEPT Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. M's sister got me into this. I can't stop, and I cry through the WHOLE THING. Love it!
Person I Love/Hate
Love: Jon Stewart. How do not love him? HOW?!?!?!
