Comedy. Writing. Technology. Living on the absolute cutting edge. Singing. Digital music. Games.
Entertainment. Failing that, entertaining people.
Ah yes, the music list. I listen to, effectively, everything. This includes absolutely horrible shit, which I'm just not going to list here.Recently I've been on a weird kick, moving from The Mars Volta to the late-stage At the Drive-In to Panic! At the Disco: also, the entire soundtrack of Guitar Hero 1&2. Prior to that, Clapton, Cream, and Kanye.CDs I can see from where I sit: Panic! At the Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, At the Drive-In - This Station is Non-Operational, Stellastarr* Harmonies for the Haunted, Kanye West - Late Registration, Cream - Best of Cream, The Crystal Method - Tweekend, Eve 6 - Horrorscope, Rolling Stones - Forty Licks, The Who - Live at Leeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones, Matisyahu - Youth, Danko Jones - Sleep is the Enemy, Foo Fighters - In Your Honor, Paul Oakenfold et al. - The Swordfish Soundtrack.
I don't watch movies much. In fact, one of my best friends just bitched me out for not having seen any of the Godfather series. UPDATE: 2/3 of the way there.Movie drawer: Fight Club. Clerks. Office Space. Dogma. Snatch. Crash. Mirrormask. Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (I'm not making this shit up: http://imdb.com/title/tt0311361/).
If you don't believe that Family Guy, and to a lesser extent Futurama, was/is (it's OK to not like the new season) the best show on television, we probably have nothing to talk about.Also, I love Scrubs. Don't know why. Just do.Currently slogging through Rescue Me and debating catching up on House.
Again, I read everything. Favorite author is, inevitably, which of Neil Gaiman, Isaac Asimov, Neal Stephenson, or George R.R. Martin: whichever I've read last.Bookshelf from where I sit is Isaac Asimov's The Intelligent Man's Guide to Science Volume I and II (first edition), V for Vendetta, Sandman, Watchmen, Anansi Boys, Fevre Dream, [a shit-ton of technical books and textbooks], Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash, Diamond Age, Lost in a Good Book, Flatterland, Flatland, Notes from the Underground, Quicksilver, The Desiderata of Happiness, About a Boy, The Professor and the Madman, The Eyre Affair, Shogun, The Art of War (James Clavell translation), [All of the Song of Ice and Fire books to date], Neuromancer, Virtual Light, Pattern Recognition, The Collected Works of Shakespeare, and I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.
