- Pulp Fiction - “Say what again!” - Again, pretty much anything from QT and I’m gonna watch it.
- Dark City - This one is a film that most people haven’t heard of… and it feels a little long to sit through… but I just love the twists in the story.
My Guilty Pleasures-
Like others have said before me, I don’t have guilt about these pleasures… but instead I just ride and run hunderds of miles a week to work them off…
- Cheese - I love cheese…
- Cocktails - I love a good drink. I love to challenge a bartender and I love it even more when they rise to the occasion. Hotwired.com used to have one of the best online drink collections with great stories about the drinks and proper instructions on making them. I prefer the classics done well.
- Gadgets - I love gadgets, gizmos, etc… GPS, computers, audio players, video players, phones, etc.

Current favorites… since it’s summer, these aren’t all on, but once they come on you can be sure I’ll be watching them.

Nicknames you’ve been called-

- “BHG” - duh!
Pick 4 Other Bloggers…
Ok, this thing is harder than it sounds, so I apologize in advance for the four of you if you actually take this on. I normally am not a fan of chain letter things, but I am actually very interested in hearing the answers to these questions for Bill and Cathy, and although I know many of the answers for my sis and bro, I figure it would be interesting for others to meet them too.

We’re a little hooked on Burn Notice this summer, too. Damn DVR = I watch more TV in summer than I did prior to it. And, Dark City. That is a good one!

I love Dark City (even if Keifer has that weird raspy voice all the way through it) It kinda preceded The Matrix, in ideas. Very overlooked, good flick.
Brad Hefta-Gaub Says:
Excellent point about Dark City vs. The Matrix… very similar themes. By the way, I saw that my Sister Sheba mentioned 5th Element in her Tag… that’s also a fun flick.

..and I thought you were simply a husband, dad & ironman freak! Let me know when you want to hit the track again! Give me sometime to recover from my 50. If only I could bike and swim….
fourwhitefeet Says:
I am with Bill. : ) Though I don’t mind getting tagged as much as I mind tagging four of my friends. Sounds like Brad was a bit reticent about that part too. : )
