Angela Gerstner - Things I like

Wow, I'm impressed by your curiosity - Well, enjoy finding out what I loooove ... Here are my favorites:

About people:	HUMOR - especially the kind that allows you to laugh about yourself, too; honesty.
General:	Walks on sunny spring days and looking at the first flowers and trees blooming (although I suffer from slight hayfever - but so what); Indian summers with the colorful leaves; long walks along beaches; sunsets; being with my friends or cooking for them from time to time; flowers and plants (palm-trees, fern)
Food:	CHICKEN (I'll probably grow wings some day !), pizza and all kinds of Italian food, Greek food, enchiladas with piles of guacamole; almost anything with spinach (spinach pizza, spinakopita, plain spinach with fried eggs etc.) And, of course, I like some sweet stuff, too: Cheesecake, fresh raspberry or strawberry cake, home-made apple strudel with hot vanilla sauce, many types of yogurts (however, not all of them), mint/chocolate-chip icecream, macadamia nut icecream
Drinks:	Cranberry juice, cappuccino, mineral water & tea
Smells:	Vanilla, apple & cinnamon, "bakery smell"
Colors:	Royal BLUE (That one definitely becomes obvious to anyone who gets to see my apartment), bright red, black and (pumpkin) orange
Animals:	Orang-utans, koalas, kangaroos, mice (not if they chewed up food in my kitchen closets though), rabbits, the beautiful blue Ulysses butterfly, and basically I'm a "dog person" (not a cat lover) and particularly like long-haired mixed breeds with dark eyes
Music:	Pop/Rock music: Too many bands to list up but my favorites include SUNRISE AVENUE (those really cool, nice guys from Finland), P!nk, Daughtry, Thriving Ivory, Nevio, and many more .... Some latin music, a bit of techno and some jazz and classical music, as well - just the best of (almost) everything :-)
Car:	Convertibles are kinda fun (at least in summer) but actually I have no car at all and love walking.
Authors:	Bill Bryson, Donna Leon, John Steinbeck etc.
Comedians:	as long as they give me a good laugh, I have no special preferences
TV-series:	What I like most are good crime or medical series with talented, "nice" and preferably humorful casts such as: "Hawaii Five-0" (the remake series with Alex O'Loughlin) - my top favorite; "Criminal Minds" (only because of the excellent profiler team - sometimes I wished the murders they are investigating weren't so cruel); "Navy CIS"; "CSI Miami"; "Grey's Anatomy" Oh, and I almost forgot to add "Moonlight" and "Three Rivers" - I love both shows (I just hadn't updated this page for quite a while...) Former favorites include "Friends", and the "Columbo" movies
Movies:	Many movies with Brad Pitt (though not all...); 'As good as it gets' (starring Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson) with such a well-deserved title; Most movies with Hugh Grant; 'Speed'; 'Keeping the faith' (a comedy starring and directed by Edward Norton) All comedies with Sandra Bullock (Sandra never seems to bother making a fool of herself in her movies; I really like her good sense of humor and the fact that she doesn't take herself too serious) and last but not least: 'Chocolat' and 'PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN' - not least because Johnny and Orlando are such fun to watch :-)
Actors:	Alex O'Loughlin, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman, Matthias Schweighöfer, Moritz Bleibtreu, Daniel Brühl etc.
Actresses:	Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, Iris Berben, Christiane Paul etc. Of course, there are many more talented people out there ...
