Cycling's a big one these days, but also camping, writing, civic engagement, media and journalistic reform, politics (not the "who's winning, who's losing" politics, but issues that can help better people's lives), law, spending time with friends, enjoying the moment, getting off my ass and making my life count for something

All things - Listening to Gift of Gab and Blackalicious, Alison Krauss, 80s tunes, jazz, techno, Air, BT, Rolling Stones, The Postal Service, The Shins, The Smiths, classical, Yo La Tengo, etc. Since I'm in Japan, I've started listening to domestic music to. Heard of Asian Kung-Fu Generation? They're pretty good.
"Good Night, and Good Luck" - an amazing flick. But like comedies, nearly everything that Focus Features produces (ie. Lost in Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and historical/bio films (13 Days, Fog of War).
Family Guy, man - Family Guy. Futurama, too.
Everthing by Murakami Haruki ("Kafka on the Shore", "A Wild Sheep Chase"); same for Michael Chabon ("Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay", "The Final Solution", "A Model World"); "Animal Farm", "1984", and "The Road to Wigan Pier" by Orwell; history by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., particularly "The Age of Roosevelt" & "The Imperial Presidency"; the fiction and non of Arundhati Roy; "Moyers on America" by Bill Moyers; David Sedaris; just finished "Democracy Matters" by Cornel West; most stuff by Arianna Huffington -- how long can we write here? I love writing, fiction or non, that broadens my thinking, my imagination, my perspective on the world.
"For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."- JFK.Kennedy (JFK & RFK), FDR, Bill Moyers, Cornel West, Arundhati Roy are all major heroes to me.
