So much to say here. Hard to list names but I love the richness and character of local, live music though I don't get out to see much these days. I'm currently listening to a lot of the new Wilco CD, always Peter Mulvey - anything he writes is golden to me, Old Crow Medicine Show (O.C.M.S. was great - not so much this last one, but it's okay), Dervish is my favorite traditional Irish band with Cathy Jordan sounding like a wee angel, Beck - mmmmm... Midnight Vultures..., Ben Harper, Robert Bradley, Taj Mahal, Keb' Mo', and so many more waaaaaaay more embarrassing folks!
Obviously, some are movies I love and some are movies I love to watch. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (really anything Monty Python), Apocalypse Now, Der Himmel über Berlin (Wings of Desire), The Graduate, Roman Holiday or anything with Audrey, On the Waterfront, A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, State and Main, Fear and Loathing, Trainspotting, Dumb and Dumber, Office Space, Wallace and Gromit - any of them, Dude Where's My Car?, Joe Dirt, Shaun of the Dead, and now Hot Fuzz! and...ummmmm...still thinking...
I love My Name is Earl, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, etc. Gotta have my Friends re-runs as well as Seinfeld. Other than that, I'm a big dork and watch a lot of the Food Network and HGTV.
Just a few... Books: A Prayer for Owen Meany, The Return of the Native, The Lover, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, A Walk in the Woods, Into Thin Air, The Famished Road, Red Azalea, [The Moviegoer, The Second Coming, The Thanatos Syndrome (God, I love Walker Percy)]. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini was incredible. Currently reading The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri.Poetry: Anything by W. B. Yeats, Seamus Heaney, Kenneth Koch (One Train is beautiful), Frost, Whitman, and so on...
My Mom. She's the most selfless person I know.
