Playing, writing, creating, singing music. Watching movies. Gourmet cooking. A great glass of wine. Taking photos. Sunsets. Hot showers to wake me up in the morning. The smell of rain. My love to get his ars over here from the UK and my cat (RIP)
I'd like to meet:
"Wandering in this place as in a wilderness,
No comfort have I nor yet assurance,
Desolate of joy, repleat with sadnesse:
Wherefore I may say, O deus, deus,
Non est dolor, sicut dolor meus."

Movies:
Indie, Period films, Cult, Ingmar Bergman (RIP) Foreign...anything that moves me. Kubrik.....he's the best (hmmmmmm) Most interesting one I watched recently was "2046" and I recommend it.
Books:
I like to read books about composers. Beethoven had a very messed up life and Hector Berlioz was kind of a nut as well...he also wrote reviews for music, it's interesting to read about how he hated Wagner's music, a hoot. But my favorite is Stravinksy. If anyone is interested in his music and just a bit of history itself...read about him. He knew some influencial people back then. Mann, Jung, C.S. Lewis, Dostoyevsky, Heinlein, Flaubert, Sexton, Thoreau, Austen, Bronte, Shakespeare, King, trashy novels here and there. Gotta lighten it up once in a while. I also like music scores...would collect more if I had the $.
