America's Next Top Model, actually any kind of really dire Tv show that I can just completely zone out to. Oh and CSI Las Vegas, oh and Criminal Minds. I like medical stuff too and stuff with really random facts.
Anything by Margaret Atwood. Reading Jodie Picoults Ninteen Minutes right now, not a huge fan of her style of writing but this book has got me hooked.
Obscure people like Franko B, and Marina Abramovic before she became a spanner, actually she was probably always a spanner but Ulay was cool enough to make the both of them seem cool. I still can't deny that she did some pretty amazing work back in the day though. I love Douglas Gordon for his creepiness and his fucked up editing.
