Triathlon, cycling, running, and (surprise!) swimming. Live music. Art. Movies. Anything shocking. Anything un-P.C. Rebellion, Independence, Rationality (does that make sense?). Writing for my own personal pleasure.
Listening now to: BRMC, Sea Wolf, SSPU, Bowie, The National, Tegan and Sara, Simian Mobile Disco, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Arcade Fire, Spoon
I am a huge movie buff. Picking a favorite is my version of Sofie's Choice. Do you go w/ the classics: Godfather, Star Wars, Patton, Schindler's List, Jaws, Chinatown, Casablanca. Or the quirky little films that reveal your true inner self: Amelie, Time Bandits, Breaking Away, Three O'Clock High, Stalag 17, Diabolique, The Producers. Anything by Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Cohen Bros, QT, Robert Rodriguez, and Michael Mann. Right now, I am really into Spanish cinema: Y tu Mama Tambien, Sex and Lucia, Amoros Perros. Overall, I am looking for a story where I admire and feel for the characters, no matter how loathesome they might be.
Very picky: Sopranos, Entourage, European Pro Cycling (not kidding!), 24, Real Sports, Daily Show, Chappelle Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Phillip K. Dick's "A Scanner Darkly"; Anne Frank's Diary; "A Confederacy of Dunces"; Hawking's "A Brief History of Time"; Greene's "Fabric of the Cosmos"; Dante's "Inferno". If you want to know anything and everything about me, read Ellison's "Invisible Man". Pornography always has a special place in my heart (and next to the KY).
Ignatius J. Reilly, Stephen Hawking, Lance Armstrong, Hugh Hefner, Howard Stern, Jane Goodall, Jennifer Aniston, and George Lucas
