Places

Well I move around alot being in the Army, but I'm already planning on going back to Charleston, SC when I redeploy.

Prague (been there twice and if I could somehow work getting the one slot in my career field in Prague I'd be in heaven for 3 years!)

Eateries

Portillos (first stop whenever I go back home to Chicago, even before I go to my Grandma's house!)
 
I do a complete run through Fallout 3 at least once a year. That game is so immersive for me. I get lost in that world and there is so much to do and see that I still find myself wanting to go back there.
 
Yesterday I listened to Billy Brag's "The Space Race is Over"
[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTEugaK9q9I[/yt]
on a loop for about 2 hours...

There aren't really many movies or shows I'll revisit, with such regularity as music, though I'll rewatch Doctor Who and Trek on occasion. There are many books I reread regularly, though: Einstein's Dreams and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe, both comforting reminders that life has no meaning, are the two I've probably reread the most.
 
I've never read a book more than once.

TV shows, however, I watch over and over and over again. It's gotten to the point where my roommate will walk in on me and go, "Didn't you just watch this?"

Buffy
Angel
Farscape
Doctor Who
Battlestar Galactica
How I Met Your Mother
Futurama

I listen to the HGTTG radio show repeatedly, I prefer it to the TV show or books.

Like you though, I revisit music far more than TV or movies. The whole back catalogue of Queen has basically been stacked up next to my record player since I was 10. They never even make it back to the shelf, what would be the point? :lol:
 
When I get Chinese food I always order Pork Lo Mein.

When I go on vacation it always alternates between Wells Beach, Maine and Lake Winnepesauke, New Hampshire.
 
I love to re-read my favorite books, but it's hard because there's so much new stuff yet to digest. My apartment is piled high with books and my Nook is stuffed with ebooks that haven't read-- probably more than can be read in a lifetime. :rommie:

Books you have read three times or more
Rendezvous With Rama, The Lost Worlds of 2001, the Foundation series, the original Sherlock Holmes stories, Ringworld, A Wrinkle In Time, Friday. Probably others.

Movies or TV you have watched over and over
Casablanca, Forbidden Planet, King Kong, The Ten Commandments, The Wizard of Oz, Raiders of the Lost Ark and sequels, a couple of the Star Trek movies. Definitely others; it's quicker to re-watch a movie than re-read a book.

The restaurants you frequent most often
Probably Burger King. :rommie:

Video games you often replay
I'm not big on video games, but I've played some of the Infocom interactive fiction games several times.

Places you like go on holidays etc etc
The White Mountains in New Hampshire. I'd live there if I could.
 
^ I'm not sure you should count watching different sports games, as opposed to watching the same one over and over because you like the ending. ^_^

Then again, I counted playing Halo as a repeated activity.

Oh bloody hell. :rolleyes: Okay then...as for things I do over and over: Again in NYC, I eat at the same deli for lunch every day. That good enough for ya?
 
^
Potato Gnocchi with roast beetroot, spinach, crispy prosciutto & meredith fetta
This one has my mouth watering. :drool:
Mine too, bub. :drool:

Restaurants we like tend to get frequented often. Sun Asian Kitchen, MacAlpine's Soda Fountain, Mary Coyle's Ice Cream, Matta's Mexican Restaurant, Greektown, George's Gyros, In&Out, The Chuckbox, Mike and Rhonda's, Baby Kay's Cajun Kitchen, Thai Elephant, ....the list is endless.

Vacation spots I have frequented include Los Angeles, Vegas, and Disneyland
 
When I go on vacation it always alternates between Wells Beach, Maine and Lake Winnepesauke, New Hampshire.

When I lived in Boston, there was this one beach in Wells I would go to a couple times a year with my dogs and walk along the shore for hours. Always tsayed at the same B&B in Ogunquit and ate at the same lobster shack in another nearby town for that matter.
 
Stuff I watch over and over again:
Any NCIS episode from season 7-that show to me is just as awesome as trek ever was and keeps me same!
Star Trek TOS
Any Trek movie..most that I've loved is the 6th movie: The Undiscovered Coutey. Now I know it's not a fav by most fans, but to me I love it because its about a murder mystery..who assassinated the Chancelloe of the high council?
Books that I've read are:
Green Eggs and Han...mom used to read it to me and get rogues tied wih the words a d then start swearing at the book for making it sound like idiots wrote it! I always laughed so hard at her!
Ferdinand the Bull- he always used to just smeeellllllllll the flowers!
