Songwriting and recording; studio production; painting, 2D/3D digital art and design. Almonds. The book-readin'. The Wide Wide World of the Web. Scuba diving. Cooking dinner while having a cold, cheap beer. Semicolons. Helicopters. The usual.
I'd like to meet the bastard who invented the little round metal pieces that are on screen doors and are supposed to somehow hold them open, but rarely work. Soon as he looks away I'd take his wallet. Then I'd give all his money to someone who can come up with a more effective solution to my ever-closing screen door problem. Then I'd let the cat out, the air in, and celebrate the dawn of a new day.
The Beatles, Willie, Waylon, Bob Marley, Steve Earle, Ryan Adams, Dave Matthews, and Modest Mouse all make the short list. Oliver Mtukudzi, Built to Spill, Hugh Masakela, Chris Knight, and Mike Doughty also get regular play on the ol' iPod. Way too much to my own stuff and that of my friends. Probably don't listen to as much Dirty South Crunk as I ought to.
Spinal Tap; all the Christopher Guest ones. Castaway. In America. 12 Monkeys. Immortal Beloved. Night Watch. Tideland. To Kill a Mockingbird. Life Aquatic. Eternal Sunshine... "Murder Party" looks like a hit; I enthusiastically recommend it!
Redskins in the HD, at least until the 4th quarter. LOST (but only on DVD so I can watch til' my watchin' gives out) All of my wife's HGTV shows, though they are frought with lies, damnable lies.
