Photography, people, hiking, flyfishing, arts and crafts, herb, herbs, herbology, massage, shiatsu, tai chi, astrology, astronomy, cosmology, heuristics, chess, digital sound waveform interpolation software, games, computer games and computers. An' other stuff. Music died for me in 1981 when I bought my first CD player.
Janet II. Uh, strike that. She comes with raging tempests and I think I've had my fill.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fULtU2NfPQA&feature= user
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cpSv2mNhhc is the profile song, and it brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it; I don't like digitized music; I can hear the digital waveform and it can't compare to the analogue you get with vinyl, live or reel-to-reel; Yes (the best), Jethro Tull, Heart, The Police (before Sting's separation), Lisa Gerard & Dead Can Dance (my mother was singing tenor in Mozart's Requiem while pregnant with me, I love female tenors) AfroCelt, Wassis Diop, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ravi Shankar; these days I'm getting into Shiela Chandra, Blues Traveller and JPopper, bless his newly-skinny ass.
GANGS. OF. NEW. YORK. Best movie ever. Also good are the whole damn Godfather trilogy, Greenstreet Hooligans, Lord of the Rings 123, Braveheart, Anne of 1000 Days and Gladiator. Yes, I admit it, Russel Crowe can act for a certain audience. He was also good in an obscure gem called "Romper Stomper". Cincinatti Kid, Cool Hand Luke, Contact, The Matrix, Lion in Winter, Panic Room.
Only good for target practice. Well, to be fair, I do enjoy the Family Guy, King O'Hill, Simpsons... For that I'll put away my gun...
"Dawn" by Ocavia Butler; "The Keltiad" by Patricia Kenneally (who got out of there alive, despite Jim...); "Between Good and Evil" by William Grey; "Beyond Good and Evil" by Nietzsche (the first book my dad ever gave me, bless his heart); and last but DEFINITELY not least, "The Practical Critique of Reason" by Immanuel Kant, great reading for anyone with interest in toppling the Ivory Tower neo-fascist intelligentsia.
Roxanne. She had a great ass. Conan. Way before Justice League. Super-Duperman. Oh! You mean REAL heros! Hm. Who, really, is my hero? Mr. Doke from gym class? Oh hell no. Jane Geidl from Vocab & Comp? Possibly. No, really. She was pregnant my senior year and everybody fell in love with the whole emotionality thing... But for real, possibly: KAROL VOJCEK (? VOTIVECJ?? Polish is so goddam hard to spell.) Gawd how do you spell his name. Pope JP II is up for sainthood. May the Vatican be blessed with true and proper insight.
