(swim deeper)

Music | Radio Stations | Books | TV | Movies | Restaurants | Drinks | Ice Cream | Catalogs | Stores | Leather | Jewelry | Perfume | Skin Care | Hair Care | Toothpaste (MP3 50K) (WAV 357K) Toad the Wet Sprocket Even though they are no longer together, they are still my absolute #1 choice. I even made up a list of all the TTWS songs that I have. Depeche Mode They were my first favorite band and I am still quite fond of their older music. Enya I think I would buy just about anything she records. The Beautiful South A favorite the instant it hit my CD player. The sunflower will show you the way to my entire CD Collection that I was insane enough to make into a web page. KPLZ Star 101.5 I really like the 80's @ 8pm that they play. Ah the memories! However, they tend to play the same damn top 20 songs way too much. KISS 106.1 I just started listening to this station. It plays music much like STAR but with a little more variety. KNDD The End 107.7 Perfect for when I am in the mood for something edgier and funkier. But then again, it does get too edgy and funky for my tastes at times. Their web site is pretty bizzare but it looks kewl. Rather than take the time to list them here, I have made an online bookstore called, The Abyss. Right now it only has Fredrik's books, so until I get mine up, please visit my page about Banana Yoshimoto. It is kind of outdated but I am planing on expanding it and moving it to it's own site. (MP3 62K) (WAV 220K) Babylon 5 THE undisputable champ. It is an extremely well written novel for your eyes and ears. After every new episode, I visit The Lurker's Guide to read all the details I might have missed and to hear JMS's comments. If you are not a fan already, be sure to watch it on the cable channel TNT! The Discovery Channel This is what I watch when there is nothing else on. A very kewl channel. Star Trek: The Next Generation Even though the show is no longer, I watch the re-runs occasionally. I have seen every episode at least twice and my favorite character is Data. Can you tell that I am still a huge fan? Star Trek: Deep Space Nine It is the only Star Trek currently running that is worth watching. I think it may be on a downslope, but we shall see how it turns out. The View This is the only daytime show I care to watch. Five opinionated and outspoken women and their views on what is going on in our world. Mad About You I love Paul and Jamie's wacky but loving relationship. Ellen Funny, funny lady and more power to her whatever her gender preference is! Too bad her show is no longer ... oh well, guess I will hafta watch it on Lifetime Television! Friends Having a main charactor's name of Monica, I gotta watch it! But really, the show is nothing more than nice eye candy. Seinfeld A really funny show ... now to only been seen in re-runs. Xena: Warrior Princess I love watching a woman kick major ass and it is very *ahem* entertaining as well. Lois & Clark Yeah, it is cheesy but a woman hasta drool Plus, it is just plain old good comic book hero fun. Be sure to catch it on TNT True Lies The perfect blend of muscle, babes, action and humor. Predator Anoter good Arnold movie from the old days. Gruesome and suspenseful. The Princess Bride A hilarious and romantic fairy-tale. The Little Mermaid One of the best Disney animated movies and I know all the songs by heart. Ladyhawke A wonderful and great love story in a fantasy setting. *sigh* Dragonheart Dragons, heros and kings -- oh my! Besides, I love Sean Connery's voice. Blade Runner I love this surreal, futuristic atmosphere. Besides, Harrison Ford rocks! Star Wars: A New Hope Watching them again in the theaters renewed my love for these amazing and ground-breaking Sci-Fi movies. It sure brought back memories! I even liked most of the additions and re-work on the special effects. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Braveheart I am not a huge Mel Gibson fan but I was impressed with this saga. Pulp Fiction Sex, drugs, blood, violence -- oh yeah! Akira The king of all Anime. I like the Japanese version with English subtitles the best. Yume (Akira Kurosawa's Dreams) A beautiful artistic piece. I highly admire this man and his movies. Cucina Cucina! A yummy, noisy and inexpensive Italian franchise in Seattle, WA. Jet City Pizza Ordering in gourmet pizza is the best! Our favorite pizza is the Northwest Garlic Gourmet (pesto sauce, artichoke herts, garlic, feta, sun-dried tomatoes and black olives on a sourdough crust). *sigh* too bad we no longer live next to one anymore. The Old Spaghetti Factory Casual and historic spaghetti house. (As you can tell, I really like Italian) Pochana's A yummy fast take-out place for Thai food. Hisago Delicious and fairly inexpensive Japanese food that is close to where I (used to) live. Tropicana Pure Premium I consume this orange juice by the gallons and only the original style. I do not like little bits of orange in my juice. If I did, then I would simply eat an orange! Sobe I am always on the lookout for drinks other than soda and I tried this one and loved it. They are a blend of natural "new age" medicines like Ginseng, Ginko and St. John's Wort. My favorite flavor is Wisdom with orange and mango. *yum* Starbucks Arabian Mocha Java I worked there once and now I am brainwashed. *grin* Plus, my brother works there so I hafta support the family. (Yeah, well it is nice to say that anyhow -- hehe) Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Whenever I go into a shop, I must have one of these. Thanks to my good friend Steph for getting me addicted. *poke* Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Here are some of the flavors that I enjoy: White Russian. Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz Coffee with Heath Toffee Crunch Deep Dark Chocolate Chunky Monkey *drool* You don't see a trend do you? Victoria's Secret I usually like their style and the sexy lingerie is nice. Spiegel They have a great variety of things and they also have a great return policy. Nordstrom's They have the most wonderful service. The Gap I really like the fit of their jeans and some of the other clothes are nice as well. Natural Wonders They have lots of neat and strange stuff. Express Cute, chic and european style clothes. Coach Expensive but definately worth it! Puzzle rings by Jose Grant The most unusual rings in the world. My husband and I each have one and it is his wedding ring. Stuff I make I make jewelry on occassion with beads and wire and so on. I usually create bracelets, necklaces and earrings. My wedding ring Since I picked it out, I better like it! Cassis I get it made at Garden Botanika. It is a light and fresh smelling scent that I also use for my soap too. Since I am particularly sensitive to smells and most perfumes, this is one of the few scents I care to wear. Origins I used to use Garden Botanika's skin care but wasn't really getting the results I want. My skin is quite oily and hard to keep the breakouts to a minimum. I just went and got a sample of skin care, shampoo, stress relief and I am hooked. I really like the fact that it is natural bontanical oils and essesences that they use in their product line. Proactiv Ok, so here is my proof of my addiction to infomercials. I usually only like watching them and never ordered from one til now. I figured what the heck, I am tired of my blemishes that pop up and ordered it. I really like how it works, now if I would only use it like I should. Nexxus I use the Therappe Shampoo which cleans and moisturizes followed by the Humectress Conditioner which makes it nice and shiny. Origins I really like the Clear Head shampoo. Very minty and refreshing ... perfect for those early morning wakeups. Lush During a trip to Vancouver, BC, I discovered a little shop of all natural hand-made cosmetics. I use Antiphilitron to get rid of my grungy, icky hair without making it brittle and overcleansed. Dr. Peppermint, a solid (soap for the hair!) shampoo that is quite minty and invigorates my scalp. I have got to mention a few more items even though they are body care and not hair care. I really love their bath bombs ... fizzy, scrumptous, smelling solid balls the size of your fist. Add one to your bath and viola! Instant sanity. Mentadent Ok, this is probably more info than you wanted to know eh? I am just amazed they have their own website! Anyway, I guess I will stop here. Last but certainly not least ... my most favorite thing in the entire universe: My husband, lover and friend: Fredrik Hübinette. Comments? Suggestions? me.
