I’m not a big fan of rap, but I love Yannick’s [C’est Soiree La](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAPzTFlVUN0) And while I like Beyounce, I think Single Ladies is one of the modern songs ever written.

> [@yanceylebeef](#): > > Fantasy. Terry Pratchett. > > I know it viewed as more satire than actual “Fantasy”, but trying to describe a book with Trolls, Dwarves, Vampires, Werewolves Witches, Wizards and an anthropomorphic personification of Death who is partial to kittens always makes my friends eyes cross. This. How do you explain that Death talks in CAPITAL LETTERS, but isn’t shouting? ---

I can’t stand Pink Floyd. If I am up on a tall ladder, and a Pink Floyd song comes on the radio, I will climb all the way down the ladder and change the station. But there is one album by Pink Floyd – and only one album – that I truly love. **The Piper at the Gates of Dawn**. It is _wonderful_. ---

I’m not a big fan of crime dramas, but I love _On the Waterfront._ It was on TMC a while back, and I watched it mainly out of curiosity about all the awards it won. I found it totally riveting, and have watched it 4-5 times now. And the same goes for the book \*I, the Jury. \*I met Mickey Spillane once, and he had a very magnetic personality, so I read the book and loved it. I read a few of his other books and enjoyed them, but not as much. And I’m still not a big fan of crime dramas.
