• Cooler air. There's no sun beating down on me making me feel hot all the time.
• Interesting people (you meet more interesting 'outside the box' kind of people working evenings and nights than during a day shift.

Movies are listed in alphabetical order. Yes, some have a definite cheese factor, some are just brilliant. I've added my own ratings to most of them. This is more of an experiement for myself to see exactly how much time in my life has been spent watching movies (and the majority of them are usually at home, either on TV or through rental).

• The fact that there is more than one Underworld movie. It was a horrible movie. I hated it. I still wish I could have my 120 lost minutes back.
• Charity/Cause d'jour bandwagon jumpers.

These are the characters/personalities that appear regularly on TV that if I see them, I'm very likely to change the channel fast before I end up tossing a brick at my television set.

Disposable reading? Newspapers, magazines, pamphlets. I cannot call it disposable because I'm such a pack rat, it's not funny. Seriously. I'm surrounded by papers. So in no particular order, here are the papers I read from time to time:

• Sky News
• Sky and Telescope
• Ontario Out of Doors
• Weekly World News
• The Toronto Star
• The Globe and Mail
• The Toronto Sun
• The Metro
• 24 Hours
• Field and Stream
• Reader's Digest {Canadian}
• National Geographic
• Canadian Geographic
• Almanacs {Old Farmers, Canadian Farmers, etc}

Or a drink, but I don't drink, so I'll just have pop or something.

• My Grandmother
• Budha
• The Dalai Lama
• Neil Gaiman
• Stephen Hawking
• Sue Johanson
• Nick Rhodes
• Pope John Paul II
• Pope Benedict XVI
• Florence Klein (Gene Simmons' mom)
• Oscar Wilde
• ....more to follow

Just rattling off a list for my own reference... Feel free to ad.. I've no idea what I'm going to do with this yet. (bear in mind I'm Canadian, so if you do add, I may not know who you are talking about if the campaign is say, strictly Norwegian;)

I think I'm just adding things I've found amusing too.

• Coke Zero Talking Eyeball
• The Tide Talking Stain
• Bell Mobile - Frank & Gordon Beavers
• Fido Dido - 7UP
• Ikea - Lamp commercial
• Doritos - Who's Bob? (Bob, Bob, Bob. He doesn't like mosquitos. Bob, Bob, Bob. He likes to eat Doritos...)- please don't ask how I remember that.
• Barg Root Beer - (Whadya mean Barg has bite? Johnny? Whadya mean Barg has bite? Johnny?)

Yes... So... I've been watching a lot of TV the past day or so... Here are my favourite TV people. The ones that I enjoy watching.

• Q (John de Lancie) - Star Trek: TNG - He's handsomely annoying. I love how he's just a total dick and there's nothing anyone can do. LOLOL! I love how he can rile the Capt. :D
• Brian Griffin - Family Guy - Possibly the only reason that Family Guy's worth watching.
• Mike Rowe - Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe - I like his voice. I think the show's informative and who doesn't like to see people fumbling in disgusting filth?
• Sig Hansen - Deadlist Catch - He's just a sexy hunk of Norwegian, who takes no guff. How can you not like that? His brother's kinda cool too. :P
• Alton Brown - Good Eats - If it were not for Alton's need for useless trivia and science content in his cooking show, I would never have learned to cook. He kept me focused long enough on his show to actually learn something.

• Golf
• Soccer
• Poker
• Bowling
• Bobby Flay

I'm not a materialist. But I'm apparently very hard to buy for. This list is for people who know me and would like to buy something for me for Christmas or my Birthday. Yeah, I know. Some are outlandishly strange.

And for those with no attention span who can't be bothered going through this list... GIFT CARDS!!! I like them! I use them!!! I think they're not tacky!!!
