Photography for fun, Film/Video for fun and profit, painting...not so much but I can draw a helluva stick figure, dancing, puppetry, hiking, yoga, videogaming, sea swimming, canoeing, creating new and excitingly fruity drinksfor my ladie friends, sleeping, good bad movies, mediating on my balcony over looking Rock Creek Park, symphony orchestras (especially the free shows at the Millenium Stage), see below for my film/lit/boobtube likes, Homestar Runner (since there isn't an Internet section), kereoking badly, saveing the mundo, getting hurt (as long as someone's around to laugh at me), Hashing (the running club not the smoking...well, ok both), travel (Ireland, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Various Scandanavia, Greece, and Amstardam are tops on the list ), going down to the Blue Ridge Mountains in the fall, and trying to getting telemarketers to pronounce my name right until they hang up on.

Books:
Totally depends on the mood I'm in. I usually read fiction, every once in a while a biography, and a lot of short stories. Right now I'm reading Lord of the Rings again, Picture of Dorian Grey, and a Conversational Portugese Phrase Book to help refresh me for my semi-sabatical around Brasil. I just finished Stephen King's Wolves of the Calla and the Cronicles of Narnia, all seven. A great read for any age! I live with three cool people and we have a library in our front hall of shared books. I have no idea what I'm going to grab next, but I've always wanted to read Dracula.
Heroes:
Jane Goodall. Smart, Sexy, and she lives with Chimps! Jon Stewart, Steve Martin, Kevin Smith, and Joss Whedon tie for a close second.
