Travel, writing, and animation.
Either of my grandfathers when they were thirty.
Yes. I used to say that the only music I don't listen to is country, but I’ve even been listening to country lately, so go figure. The concerts I went to this summer were Tom Waits, Flaming Lips, Jane Doe, Phil Lesh, and Rufus Wainwright at Carnegie Hall.
Yes. I was doing this thing last year where I watched all of the academy award winners in order and rated them on the "Dusty's Suspension of Belief Scale." Casablanca came in first with a 16, followed by Gone with the Wind and Crash at 14, and Endless Summer was up there with an 11. It's a long and complicated system; ask me for the entire list.
No. I don't really watch television, but I’ll rent an old season from the library and watch it in one sitting. Did I mention OCD? I just finished Six Feet Under season two and Arrested Development. I didn't like six feet under, but I loved Buster from Arrested Development.
Yes. I have them. I would have to say that my favorite fictional books are no longer the ones with the crazy girl driving all the guys insane. Stuff like Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Sun Also Rises. I've come to the conclusion that Miss Holiday Golightly and Lady Brett Ashley are actually the same person. Lately my favorite book is Profound Thoughts of a Plumber. So underground it's not available anywhere. Ask me if you want to borrow my copy.
I would have to say that my Dad, my Brother, and my Mom, would fall into that category. My Dad for being such an incredibly stable role model, my brother for doing things I could never do, and my Mom for being able to put up with all the crap I've put her through.
