i have succumbed to project runway and lost. i find wildlife documentaries and home improvement shows quite soothing.
1984, anything by gaiman or yoshimoto, edward gorey, griffin & sabine, lucia perillo, snow crash, strangers in paradise, various beatnik classics, walking dead, wicked, a wrinkle in time...i also enjoy various books an eccentric coworker lends me, like primoridal soup by leunens. they aren't particularly good books, but they're always interesting.
