Thanks dude! I could have listed so many more too...

Most disliked food:

1. Pumpkin pie
2. Mushrooms
3. Coconuts
4. Olives
5. Cauliflower

I'm willing to eat/ at least try most food except for those five. Several years ago I had to choke down a slice of pumpkin pie because my ex-step grandpa worked really hard on it and didn't know that :
I don't like it....:(

Ok, I'll play


5 of my favorite TV shows, with the first 3 being fairly new (to me):

1. The Killing (wow, really had me drawn in, loved it, dark dark dark crime/murder show)
2. The Fall (wow, again, amazing! Dark and twisty serial killer show)
3. Broad Church (that took a couple of episodes to draw me in, but after that, binge watched all seasons, beautiful cinematography, crime/murder)
4. CSI original/Las Vegas, up until Grissom left.
5. 6 feet under (sometimes very dark, sometimes very funny with a strange sense of humor. Deep. about dead people and a funeral home)
6. WestWorld (can't wait for new season, love it!!!)
7. Game of Thrones (of course)


I made good use of my new Netflix account when I watched those first 3 shows. All 3 of those were are really good.

5 pet peeves of mine:

1. Religious fervor or any kind, using religion to persecute and judge
2. Singing in movies, gosh, I couldn't stand Disney movies as a kid. Its like nails down a chalkboard for me
3. Dogs that scoot their butt across the floor AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH so gross!!!
4. People that say "Sweetie and Honey" to each and everyone
I know there are more, but can't think of them now

Things I find scary:

1. Pac Man frogs. OMG, I swear they could open that mouth and swallow the world !!!
2. Spiders. All those legs !!!


I'll probably think of more stuff later :)

THE KILLING!!!! YESSSSSS!!!!!! I discovered that show on Netflix a couple of years ago. I LOVED it so much. And I didn't know anybody who had seen it at the time, so I couldn't talk about it with anyone. Made me crazy that nobody was watching it because it was incredible. First season was by far my favorite. Such complex characters, so imperfect but believable. A perfect, dark, drama.

And Broad Church - same! I watched the first 2-3 episodes trying to get into it, then went months without watching before picking it back up again. Once it hooked me I was obsessed. Sad story, but such brilliant performances. And stunning scenery.

You have excellent taste!

Ok I'm in.
Top 5 foods in order
1) Fried Catfish
2) Fried Chicken
3) Steak (Rare and still mooing)
4) Fried Okra
5) Speckled Butter Beans/Purple Hull Peas (tie)

Top 10 Movies
1) Top Gun
2) Armegedon
3) Lord of the Rings Trilogy
4) Star Wars (all of them)
5) Resident Evil
6) Tron
7) Dead Pool
8) The Martian
9) Ironman
10) Wonder Woman

5 Favorite Sports Teams

2) Dallas Cowboys
3) Kansas Jahawks (College Basketball)
4) New York Yankees
5) Golden State Warriors

FINALLY someone that knows "The Killing". :) Such a brilliant show, so complex. I, too, couldn't believe no-one else has seen it.

Broad Church did take a couple of episodes to find its rhythm, but then I loved it. And that soundtrack??? Beautiful !!!!

You should watch "The Fall" You would probably like it, another dark and complex crime/murder show :)

The Killing Season 1 & 2 I liked... didn't like the seasons following, though. First two seasons you almost felt what the family was going through with the missing girl.

Top 5 TV Series (in this order, best on top)
1. Game of Thrones
2. The Sopranos
3. Breaking Bad
4. The Walking Dead
5. True Detective (Season 1)

They were the best, yes. I still watched the whole thing.

I liked the ending. It sort of reminded me of the ending of the first season of True Detective. By the way, that was also a AWESOME show. Only liked the 1st season, though.
Again, dark and twisty, crime and murder.

Gosh, I detect a theme..:O


edited to say. I wrote this before I saw your reply and that you listed True Detective, LOL !!!!

Hehe exactly! There's so much to love about the series. Especially Aragorn *swoons*

artists who have been huge inspirations to me in my career:

• Paula Scher: Citi Bank logo + countless others you don't know you know; HBIC of the design world

• Marina Abramovic: THE pioneer of important performance art. of her more famous pieces: she preformed sitting in a room and allowed anyone to do anything to her with any of the objects she set out. among these items: a feather, a knife, a bullet, a gun. someone loaded the gun, and pointed it at her. she never flinched, and other patrons interviened. if you Google anyone in this list, please let it be her. you will NOT be disappointed; her story is FASCINATING.

• Barbara Kruger: of Your body is a battleground and first wave feminist art

• Shepard Fairey: "Make Art Not War" and IP-stolen Obama "HOPE" poster; chaotic neutral lol

• Georgia O'Keeffe: she DID NOT PAINT VAGINAS. i really enjoy her later work. she's an amazing painter and built an incredible body of work well into her later years; she died at 99.

• Andy Warhol: the modern-day troll of the capitalist art society. i hated him at first, but honestly he's everything i wish i could be.

• Marcel Duchamp: the FIRST high society art troll; he entered an actual urinal fountain into an art exhibition and, when realizing it was placed in a stairwell, pretended to be a critic and yelled to the exhibition how it was a crime to place a fine piece of art in the back

• Pablo Picasso: a true prodigy ahead of his time; a 20 year old so good yet so bored, he thought "what if i painted a cow but like, as squares?" and Cubism was born.

there's a lot of older painters but it's friday and im drinking and can't be bothered. [emoji3]

@hilabeans- The Never-ending Story was a staple in my childhood. I just re-bought it on DVD a few years ago.
...and yup, coconut is gross!!!!

@Kira- yup, coconut is gross!!! But...mushrooms are SSOOOOO good.

@Zina10- I agree 100% with your religion pet peeve. I encourage people to believe in any god or higher power they choose. If it helps you, go for it. But I draw the line when people force their beliefs on others, and agree with what you said about persecution and judgement. Believe whatever you want, but don't tell me I'm wrong if I don't agree.

@Momokahn- I love your food choices!! And a steak should be no more than medium, but I eat mine rare. It's called RED meat for a reason!!! Hahahaha.
We differ with movies though. Top Gun is the only one on your list I've even seen!!! Hahahaha, different tastes are what makes the world go round.

@tttaylorrr- the fact that you used the acronym HBIC is priceless!!! Hahahahaha, I love it.
I've always loved Dali for some reason. And Rockwell, well, he's just Americana defined. I've always loved Rockwell for that reason.

TV shows seem to be a hot topic right now, so my list will be-
My Top 10 TV shows:
1. Sons of Anarchy.
2. Seinfeld
3. Cheers
4. Two & a Half Men (the Charlie Sheen years)
5. Big Bang Theory
6. The Blacklist
7. The Simpson's
8. Archer
9. The League
10. Married...with Children

I feel like I missed a few, but....oh well.

Oddly enough I'd say that 99% of my preferred viewing is american .

Only Peaky Blinders is really a Brit drama from what I know .

I rate Peaky Blinders above every other series I've seen including all those listed .... I may be over there In a few years - my son lives in Florida and he's desperate for us to join him.

That 70's Show - by far the funniest sitcom ever (if you experienced that era in real life).

The Big Bang Theory - Funniest sitcom currently on TV (for me, of course).

I love Big Bang mainly due to Sheldon ...... and Penny [emoji4]

I have some of Sheldon's odd traits and my work colleagues call me Sheldon ( or Dexter) sometimes [emoji4]


Can't imagine watching Young Sheldon if Sheldon himself wasn't in it ....

Taxi was ground breaking being among the first one-set shows with Cheers to follow. To me the characters of Louis De Palma and Jim Ignatowski were two of the best written characters to date. The episodes where Jim is taking his driver's license or the one when Latka is making his "special" cookies, Christopher Lloyd was amazing. And Danny DeVito couldn't have made Louie any more of a worm.

You're right, Dharma & Greg was super cheesy which is probably why I liked it so much hahaha.

I actually haven't seen Perfect Strangers? Is it worth watching?
