UrsulaShmursula's profile

Online classes, live music, visiting with family and friends, eating out, drinking wine, hangin' with my pets.

This is the best part! I love all music, but am usually still stuck in the 60s and 70s hard rock genre. Zeppelin, Stones, Sabbath, and on and on. However, I really enjoy some newer bands. My favorite band of all time - now - is Tool. They are just amazing. I have followed them around a bit. No! I'm not an old Dead Head. I did see them once, but fell asleep!! Just love the blues, too. Always looking for good new music and love to catch both new bands and some older musicians at great small venues.

Usually anything HBO: Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, the Wire, Rome, and Sex and the City. Regular TV this year I'm enjoying Two and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother, My Boys and the Bill Engvall Show. On Showtime, I enjoy Penn and Teller's "Bulls**t" and Weeds.

There's been so many!! If I go back to some older ones, I really loved "The Bishop's Wife" and "It's a Wonderful Life". I enjoyed the old musicals, too. Some recent movies that I would consider my favorites are: Magnolia, Good Will Hunting and Crash.

"And think not you can direct the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall direct your course." Kahlil Gibran in "The Prophet"

Do you mean famous people? Well, then, I'd have to say Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, The Dalai Lama, Jane Addams.

Chicago will always be my favorite place and my hometown. Loved New Orleans and San Francisco. The Smokey Mountain are the most beautiful mountains I've seen. Some day I want to see Europe. Especially Italy, Paris and Amsterdam.

Well, I love dogs, cats & ferrets for sure. I always wanted a horse, but never had the opportunity.
