I like cheesy romantic comedies that require little to no thought and are available for entertainment purposes only. Most of the movies I like, my husband starts to make jokes about three quarters of the way through, which then makes me mad and wrecks the movie I was simply trying to enjoy. I watch movies as a means of escape for ninety minutes.
I am a terrible judge of good music or musical talent. Which, ironically, I am surrounded by extremely talented vocalist. I try hopelessly to stay in step with their musical conversations (which if you are now imagining them speaking in musical verse, that sometimes happens too). You'd think some of their expertise would eventually rub off. A few months back, a buddy of mine was putting together an album and was sending song clips to my husband for feedback. The songs I thought sounded just fine were a bit off pitch and too rushed. When I felt like a finally heard the errors in a song that they had been talking about, my untrained ear showed itself as a novice. The song was in perfect pitch and was a favorite to be included the album. All I really look for in a song is a fun beat without any overt lyrics about what men and women should do only in private. (Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" is an exception. I can still rap every word!) I listen to music that fits and enhances my mood.
