Comedy, Carnivals/Sideshows, Alpaca farming (http://www.ilovealpacas.com/),Making out with Howard Dean (that's really more of a goal than an interest)
Someone to finance my alpaca farm.
Nine Inch Nails, Saul Williams, Billy Bragg, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Beethoven (all the hits), Tom Waits, and the Circus Contraption band (check them out, they're local.....if you're in Seattle). Most importantly "Bombs into You" (they're one of my friends. In all reality he's my brother but he rocks all the same......he's the cool one in my family).
Two words: David Lynch
The Office (british version), Weird Weekends w/ Louis Theroux (it's british, too), Arrested Development, Twin Peaks, Carnivale, Six Feet Under, Mr. Show. Yes, you're right. All of my favorite TV shows are no longer on the air. That's because I have better taste than the general public.
Non-fiction: The Beauty Myth, Bachelor Girl, Fast Food Nation, Nickeled & Dimed, anything by Howard Zinn. Fiction: Goblin Market, Geek Love, Kindred, Reservation Blues. Oh, and I love Dorothy Parker. She would be one of my heroes if I had any.
Does the bible count?
