Travel, foreign languages, and food. I try to do all three at the same time when possible.
Getting married in a little under a year. Sweeeeeet.Otherwise, I'm here for old friends or when your computer crashes and you lose your cellphone and this is all you have left to tell me that you need help moving. True story. Lazy bastard.
Hendrix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Von Bondies, PJ Harvey, White Stripes, Blackalicious, BB King, Franz Ferdinand, old Guns 'n' Roses and Bon Jovi, Portishead, Cream, Elastica, Elbow, Jurassic Five, Placebo, the Mooney Suzuki, Al Green, KMFDM, Ella Fitzgerald, Digital Underground, Sepultura, Fiona Apple, Billy Holiday, Saint-Saens, Calamine, Etta James, the Doobie Brothers and Skynyrd, Morcheeba, Radiohead, Shakira, M.I.A., Interpol, Sergio Mendes. My mp3s are permanently set on random. Otherwise, I really suggest Radio Paradise on the internet. They's good. And purty.
Cowboy Bebop, Amelie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fight Club/Snatch/Se7en (all the same movie, sort of), Tremors, Shrek 2, The Empire Strikes Back, Children of Men, Leon, Blazing Saddles/Young Frankenstein/History of the World (known as the Brooks Trifecta), Garden State, Sin City, The Bourne Identity, and bad movies that end up being good anyways. In the movie of my life, Clive Owen plays me. Except he smiles more.
Adult Swim and Daily Show. We don't have cable, so this is really more of an "invite Josh over" sort of thing. There are many fine programs on PBS. Also, Beauty and the Geek. Try to guess which one I am, you homely, homely geeks.
Favorite ever is Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman. The others are Stranger in a Strange Land, a Series of Unfortunate Events, Naguib Mahfouz, Sin City, Squee, Alan Moore, Transmetropolitan and Nextwave, Faust, and The Best Non-Required Reading series.
Einstein, Otto von Bismarck, my dad, anyone from The State who's still found work, Spider Jerusalem, my old boss Gene, and anyone who takes up a lost cause.
