Favorites include Yellow Submarine, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Waking Life, American Beauty, School of Rock, Dazed and Confused, Best in Show, Office Space, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Love and Death, and The Magic Christian.
"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." -- Groucho Marx
TV is evil, except for the shows I like. Non-evil shows are limited to the Simpsons, South Park, the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Slightly evil shows I occasionally corrupt myself with include The Office, 30 Days, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Wonder Showzen.
I mostly read non-fiction, although I love writers like Tom Robbins, Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams who write fiction with an eye towards reality, or Hunter S. Thompson who blurred the line completely. Some favorites include The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates by Tom Robbins, Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, I Seem to be a Verb by R. Buckminster Fuller, and The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. Currently reading The Secret Life of Plants. I'd tell you about it, but as you can see, it's a secret.
Either Nixon or John Lennon - I have trouble telling them apart. Whichever one was in the Byrds.
