I hope to some day have my cake and eat it too, while simultaneously looking a gift horse in the mouth.
here's some shameless self-promotion instead:
beck,radiohead,wilco,whitestripes,cake, the beta band, the webb brothers, super furry animals, foo fighters, liz phair, queens of the stoneage, tool, little feat, gomez, pixies, interpol, lcd soundsystem, isis, elvis costello, the strokes, doves, the police, some bjork, secret machines, rolling stones, bob dylan, squirrel nut zippers, mad villans, blur, franz ferdinand, isis, granddaddy, the shins, postalservice, probot, stereolab, everclear, elliot smith, the ben folds 5, the mooney suzuki, nin, prefuse 73, clinic, gorillaz, movie soundtracks (like snatch, rushmore, garden state, fight club, pulp fiction, stranger than fiction, etc)........
All the really good ones, including films by: kubrick, fincher, the coen brothers, tarintino, hayao miyazaki, pixar, wes anderson, judd apatow, scorsese, sam rami, terry gilliam, old python movies, stephen chow, spielberg and lucas (but not lately), brad bird and several others. I also hold a special place in my heart for entertaining zombie flicks (ex: shaun of the dead, cemetery man & dead alive). •Some honorable mentions: office space, fear & loathing in las vegas, ed wood, team america, 12 monkeys, iron monkey, the iron giant, spirited away, the royal tennenbaums, bottle rocket, eternal sunshine.., amelie, the incredibles, monster house, the jungle book, napoleon dynamite, blade runner, fight club, lotr, wallace and gromit, zero effect and the life of brian.
the office, deadwood, lost, family guy, old cartoons, new cartoons, and any "educational-type" science shows that trick me into learning something useful. I'm not much into watching t.v. sports...unless it's something crazy like robotic cock fighting or synchronized water fencing.
Stephen King is fun to read. I'm a big fan of Fritz Lieber's old books. I buy alot of art books and reference books/mags. And I have absolutely no desire in reading "The Davinci Code". I'd also like to someday illustrate a children's book...any good writers out there looking to network?
if i was ever to get a tattoo....
