Video of the week:
Echo & the Bunnymen - Never Stop (live at Royal Albert Hall 1983)
I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet people who are not afraid to be themselves and act weird/crazy/silly/retarded... people who embrace their inner-nerd and flaunt it proudly... people who are smart and creative and geeky, and definitely a fan of music (or musicians themselves)... having a sense of humor/understanding sarcasm is very important.
i've already met my inspiration: my favorite guitarist Will Sergeant and my favorite author Neil Gaiman... but to be honest, I am very shy and tend to act a bit silly around famous people... and usually end up embarrassing myself.
I'd like to someday meet Ian McCulloch (of the Bunnymen) and Richard Butler (of the Psychedelic Furs) and James Callis (Gaius Baltar on BSG) and Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond on LOST).

I like fiction that has a little bit of fantasy in it, because I secretly want things like magic and wizards to be real.
a quote from Steve Carell: If we were meant to read for enjoyment, would God have created television? Read as it was intended — for exercise. The more you read, the more you expand your — what's the word I'm looking for? — your stockpile of words. You must have a stockpile of words that you can pass along to your children for their stockpile.
Heroes:
Will Sergeant and Neil Gaiman
