I'm looking for a way to put a permanent end to white people playing reggae. Any ideas?
Harold and Maude. Anything Woody Allen. I'm a sucker for horror movies, especially the bad ones. The back catalog of regularly-watched flicks includes Cradle Will Rock, Freaks, State and Main, The Girl in the Cafe, Fear and Loathing, etc.
The West Wing, Freaks and Geeks, Sports Night, Studio 60, The Office, The Daily Show, Arrested Development, Scrubs, Weeds
God, it's been a while since I read any fiction. I tend to use my reading time for learning and my TV/Movie time for pretending and entertaining. That's sort of sad, now that I've had a reason to think about it. Anyway, I'm a big Hunter Thompson / Kurt Vonnegut / Henry Miller / Charles Bukowski / John Fante / Nick Hornby / CD Payne / Tom Wolfe / Hubert Selby fan when I do get around to reading books that aren't about programming languages.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Andy Kaufman
