Top Ten List of Things On My Mind

Think of this as a kind of state of my mental state address. Here's a list of the top ten things drifting through my transom, ranked by time spent thinking and talking about them. I added one more so that it goes to 11.

1. "Game of Thrones" (book & show)

2. Transformers Masterpiece line

3. A Game of Thrones board game

4. Filipino food

5. Porn

6. "Dark Knight Rises"

7. Hating exercise

8. "Adventure Time"

9. "The Legend of Korra"

10. "Regular Show"

11. "Scrubs" (The TV show. I haven't thought about scrubs the clothes for years.)

Radio Presets

I think you can learn a lot about a person by the radio presets s/he has programmed in her/his car. First of all, s/he is the type of person that owns a car. And if s/he is listening to the radio instead of her/his own MP3 playlist, s/he is probably not that crazy into music. Or perhaps s/he is old school. Or just old. So here are my radio presets. Read into them what you will. But if you guess that I'm black, Latino, or college-aged, you'd be wrong.

1. 89.3 KPCC (NPR)

2. 88.9 KXLU

3. 101.1 KRTH (K-EARTH)

4. 107.1 KSSE (Super Estrella)

5. 93.1 KCBS (Jack FM)

6. 95.5 KLOS (Southern California's Best Rock)

7. 96.3 KXOL (Latino)

8. 105.9 KPWR (Power)

9. 93.5 KDAY

10. 102.7 KIIS

11. 98.7 KYSR (This used to be Star, I have no idea what it is now)

12. 106.7 KROQ

My Other Favorite Movies

I list my favorite movies in my profile. However I must confess that that's my snob list, as those are the movies I'm willing to admit to watching. While I truly do love all of those movies and have and will watch them many more times, I admit there are certain movies that I will watch over and over again once I pop them in my DVD player. In some cases, I just let these play on repeat. In no particular order, these are:

"The 40-Year-Old Virgin"
"Beverly Hills Cop"
"Big Trouble in Little China"
"Black Hawk Down"
"Close Encounters of the Third Kind"
"definitely, maybe"
"The Fog"
"Forrest Gump"
"Heat"
"It's a Wonderful Life"
"The Lady Eve"
"The Last Unicorn"
"Macross: Ai Oboete Imasu Ka"
"My Fair Lady"
"The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!"
"Pineapple Express"
"The Rock"
"The Shop Around the Corner"
"Simply Irresistible"
"The Thing"
"This is Spinal Tap"
"Three Kings"
"When Harry Met Sally"
"You've Got Mail"

(I lied. I put them in alphabetical order.)
