Making and listening to music would have to go first, but I like movies, good books, art (in many forms), fun, travel, psychology, physics, shiny things, racquetball, a good conversation, architecture, internet animations and many of the odd little thoughts that dash through my head. It's interesting trying to work out where they came from.
