Traveling, games, hanging out, Temperence Hall, puzzles, reading, writing, Israel, Suriname, social justice, low-income countries, ketchup, nargilas, and of course long thin candles. Basically, the ideal would be hanging out with good friends in house or at a dive bar, puzzle on the table, smoking nargila, talking, listening to music, with ketchup in hand.

Too much to mention. These days I listen to Aleke, Awasa, what I've collected over the years and whatever my friends were gracious enough to let me borrow and put on my mp3 player. Some of the guys from the village have a band called Kapasi Tei, which you probably know means Armadillo Tail. I enjoy listening to them drumming and singing in the evenings.
The Goonies and Indiana Jones had a major impact.
Haven't seen much tv lately.
