I like movies, and no I don't have a fave actor/director/film/etc...so don't bother asking. I like music...I played trombone for like 10 years, but I haven't seen one in a while. I love the theatre...I was an actor who wanted to be a playwright, but everyone wanted me on stage and didn't care how good a writer I was (am). I also like hiking/camping/canoeing/etc. It's good to get out and see what else is on this forsaken rock I've been forced to habitate. Uhm...Yeah...that's about it, I guess. Wanna know more? Grow some juevos and ask me.
Scott Bakula...don't ask...I'm just obsessed with Quantum Leap
Daddy by: Sylvia Plath You do not do, you do not do Any more, black shoe In which I have lived like a foot For thirty years, poor and white, Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.Daddy, I have had to kill you. You died before I had time-- Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, Ghastly statue with one gray toe Big as a Frisco sealAnd a head in the freakish Atlantic Where it pours bean green over blue In the waters off beautiful Nauset. I used to pray to recover you. Ach, du.In the German tongue, in the Polish town Scraped flat by the roller Of wars, wars, wars. But the name of the town is common. My Polack friendSays there are a dozen or two. So I never could tell where you Put your foot, your root, I never could talk to you. The tongue stuck in my jaw.It stuck in a barb wire snare. Ich, ich, ich, ich, I could hardly speak. I thought every German was you. And the language obsceneAn engine, an engine Chuffing me off like a Jew. A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen. I began to talk like a Jew. I think I may well be a Jew.The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna Are not very pure or true. With my gipsy ancestress and my weird luck And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack I may be a bit of a Jew.I have always been scared of you, With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo. And your neat mustache And your Aryan eye, bright blue. Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You--Not God but a swastika So black no sky could squeak through. Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you.You stand at the blackboard, daddy, In the picture I have of you, A cleft in your chin instead of your foot But no less a devil for that, no not Any less the black man whoBit my pretty red heart in two. I was ten when they buried you. At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do.But they pulled me out of the sack, And they stuck me together with glue. And then I knew what to do. I made a model of you, A man in black with a Meinkampf lookAnd a love of the rack and the screw. And I said I do, I do. So daddy, I'm finally through. The black telephone's off at the root, The voices just can't worm through.If I've killed one man, I've killed two-- The vampire who said he was you And drank my blood for a year, Seven years, if you want to know. Daddy, you can lie back now.There's a stake in your fat black heart And the villagers never liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through.
Ah-ha...Good topic. I could probably max out the internet's available space with all the movies I love...but I'll try to keep this short. Romance - Gotta go with Moulin Rouge *shrugs* Comedy - Too many to list, faves are Danny Kaye, Gene Wilder, Mel Brooks, Monty Python, Eddie Izzard, Woody Allen, Steve Martin, and anything by Kevin smith, etc etc etc Action - Hmm...I'm gonna go with anything with Bruce Willis or Nick Cage... Misc choices - Lord of the Rings series (duh), anything by Quentin Tarantino (especially Four Rooms...HILARIOUS), uhm...yeah...get back to me on that.
Quantum Leap (best television series of all time, hands down). Animaniacs (best animated television series of all time, hands down). Friends (I'm a lot like Chandler if you'd like to fill in the "About Me" section on your own)
Ah jeez...Anything by J.D. Salinger, Chaim Potok, Robert Jordan, R.A. Salvatore, Elaine Cunningham, Terry Brooks, Sandra Brown, Dan Brown...Sadly, I do love the Harry Potter series...But I think the best books of all time, for me, is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books by Douglas Adams...Besides all those, I could probably sit here for the next hour talking about my favorite authors.
Albert Einstein, William Shakespeare, the guy who invented Ranch dressing/dip, my mother (of course), and...I'm gonna go with...Brody from Mallrats.
