Reading books, listening to music. Collecting posters on my walls, attending shows, attending Taco Bell drive-thrus. Drinking, drinking coffee, smoking, smoking...coffee. Organizing my games, comics, toys, socks, thoughts. Working, whining, mulling, lamenting. Talk about exercising, and then do the complete opposite. Get busy during the day, get down on the dance floor late at night.
William Shatner. No, seriously.

Nerd movies, mind numbing movies. Quirky movies. What comes to mind at the moment: Amelie, Little Miss Sunshine, The Professional, Equilibrium, The Life Aquatic, Serenity, Primer, Hard Boiled, your average action flicks, martial arts, fun stuff. Hackers, Fight Club, Finch's stuff is always great. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, Roger Dodger. Thank you Film as Lit. I have a soft spot for lame comedy, like Kung Pow, and I do love Lilo and Stitch. Anything superhero related or sci-fi related as well. More Star Trek than Star Wars I'll admit.
Don't really watch television, just TV on DVD at times.
A variety. Just picking up authors at random, some Orson Scott Card, Hunter S. Thompson, some Terry Brooks, whatever is suggested to me.
Spider-Man.
