reading, drinking, and of course, my favorite : twiddling my thumbs.
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."MacbethAct V, Scene V
everything except most country and christian rock.
Legend; Labyrinth; Amistad; Harry Potter; Lord of the Rings; Goodfellas; Shrek; the John Hughes films in the 80s; Bird Cage; and so forth--there are WAY too many to list.
Family Guy; Law & Order (any version); CSI; House; The L Word. Food Network, History Channel, and my total fav: National Geographic.
this could take all day!! the few that come to mind are: Harry Potter, anything by the Marquis de Sade, Mikhail Bulgakov, Leo Tolstoy, and Fyodor Dostoevsky; Coming of Age in Mississippi (Anne Moody); Black Power: The Politics of Liberation (Kwame Ture & Charles Hamilton); Count of Monte Cristo (Alexandre Dumas); Bill Haywood's Book: The Autobiography of Big Bill Haywood; New institutionalism in organizational analysis--I told you I was a nerd; Macbeth (if you don't know who wrote this, i have a few suggestions: 1. unzip your pants, 2. bend down, 3. remove your head from your ass)
