movies: in addition to being a huge nerd, i am also a huge baby and
generally won't watch a horror film unless i'm talked into it.
movies that won't give me nightmares are: the royal tenenbaums,
garden state, role models, <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=thank+you+for+smoking">thank you for smoking</a>,
district 9, the wizard of oz, eternal sunshine of the spotless
mind, up in the air, etc. i'm starting to get into 'old hollywood'
movies, but for some reason, i have yet to see casablanca. it
should have been the first on my list, i know.<br />
<br />
music: flobots, weezer, modest mouse, sublime, stone temple pilots,
flight of the conchords, offspring, hot hot heat, the fratellis,
the kooks, the black keys, black kids, mgmt, 3oh!3, jupiter one,
war tapes, cold war kids, the airborne toxic event, the thermals,
the limousines, iglu &amp; hartly, spoon, the decemberists, etc. i
have an unnatural hatred for the smashing pumpkins and would gladly
see them disappear forever.<br />
<br />
food: the only food i can safely say that i hate are green beans. i
love trying new foods and new restaurants, especially
non-chains.<br />
<br />
tv: how i met your mother, the office, 30 rock, chuck, house,
psych, better off ted, royal pains, white collar, community,
