My musical tastes are the product of my having come of age in the early nineties. Also, my parents were hippies that occasionally threw on the oldies station during family outings. I don’t listen to a ton of new music, but I have been intrigued lately by smaller artists like Tilly and the Wall and Aqueduct. I’ll also listen to anything that’s fast and loud.

And 24. it's the only show i watch with any consistency. and fear factor. and passions... you know, the soap. and letterman, mr. show, pee-wee's playhouse, kids in the hall, south park, aqua teen hunger force, pete and pete, house, my name is earl, the office, simpsons, snl, space ghost, beavis and butt-head, the x-files and the tick (live action and animated). i get most of my TV form DVD.
i can't read or write. but if i could i'd like tom robbins, cormac mccarthy, bukowski, henry miller, d.h. lawerence, joseph heller, hermann hesse, dave eggers, the bible (when i need to make a really offensive joke), michelle tea, kurt vonnegut, hunter s. thompson, the beats (naked lunch is published in heaven, so i guess that it doesn't suck), chuck palahniuk, douglas adams, lord of the rings and harry potter. i hear that all of those books and authors don't suck. i can't be sure though. Also, anything that has been made into a movie, that way it's easier for me to fake that i've read it.
ralph macchio, ralphie (from a christmas story), ralph fiennes, ralph nader, ralph 'fritz the cat' bakshi, ralph wiggum, ralph lauren, ralph waldo emerson.
