Zoosk, fantastic move integrating Netflix and Last.fm. People define themselves with their movie and music tastes.

Having said that, Irena, my wife, refuses to go see Star Trek or X-men with me. :-(

I am glad I met Mark at a party three years ago and not at Zoosk. I would not date anyone who has in the profile Star Trek, X-men and Beverly Hills Chihuahua which are currently Mark’s favorite movies btw.

Irena is kidding about Beverly Hills Chihuahua, btw.

Still, she has a point. I think people define themselves by the movies and music they listen to, but Irena would never see X-man with me, if she could help it. I have, however, got her hooked on Battlestar Galactica. But that’s a rather unique sci-fi series. Perhaps I should try her out on Babylon 5 next, and convert her over slowly. :-)
