  Love / Hate

My favorite colors are , especially and , and . I also love the colors, furniture, architecture, and styles of the mid-century modern period, and collect dishware and glassware from that period.

I have an affinity for raptors, particularly owls and hawks, and "adopted" two of the latter--a male kestrel and a female sharp-shinned hawk--through HawkWatch International, an organization dedicated to the study and preservation of raptors.

I also love Maine coon cats, used to own two of them years ago, and several years ago acquired a new Maine Coon mix named Alex (short for Alexander Graham Bell-the-cat). My sister has her own nickname for him: "Psycho Kitty." I also love green growing things, and have a house full of trees and plants.

My favorite season is autumn; my least favorite is summer, particularly when accompanied by high humidity, as is usually the norm here in Washington, DC.

I prefer dusk to dawn. I'm a night person and hate getting up in the morning.

Bittersweet (dark) chocolate over milk chocolate, no contest. I'd walk on glass for really good dark chocolate.

I love spicy foods, and my favorite cuisines are Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai and Ethiopian. But I have very wide-ranging tastes, and will eat just about anything. I also particularly love ice cream, especially dulce de leche and other caramel flavors: Ben and Jerry's new "Karamel Sutra" flavor (chocolate and caramel ice creams with fudge chips, surrounding a soft caramel core) especially is pretty aptly named, being at *least* as good as sex.

Fun Link: Ben and Jerry's site offers information on all the new flavors, online games, a tool for finding your nearest B&J retailers, and much more
