Unfortunately, to many to name here succinctly á l'instant, but I'm sure you'll hear all about them eventually
4. What makes you most happy?
Madrid, Genève, Montréal, delicious products, lazy rainy days with Mr. Gordo, being with my closest friends (La Zeez, The Voice, The Fierceness, La Donna, Big Sis, Skanque Huore, La Antropóloga, Mr. Polemic, and El Babycito, La Vicks, Prancilla, et al)

I tried watching that new reality show about hot football players (Mainstream Jail Bait), but after the first episode, kept missing it, so, I guess the answer is no. I'm afraid I'm not a terribly dedicated television watcher.

Unnecessarily mean or taciturn people, which apparently includes 50% of the American people
