Music, Books, Rock Climbing, Hiking, Photography, Ultimate Frisbee. Really, anything that gets the blood going, and I don't mean just plunging down rapids in Hell's Canyon or something. See a Renoir in person or clicking with someone new, just seeking out new experiences.
Picasso and Einstein (preferably in a bar in Paris), God (I have some questions), and anyone who wants to say hey.

I like smart movies. I mean, yeah, dumb popcorn flicks are awesome sometimes, but the ones I can watch over and over are smart, clever. Even "Waiting...", one of my favorites at the moment, is a social critique at heart, its more than meets the eye.
My Name is Earl (karma, dude), Scrubs, The Office (both versions), and House (oh come on, how freaked out would you be if you had a gnarly pill-popping doctor you had to rely on to save your life?). Beyond that, who has time for tv?
Anything by Steinbeck, Hemingway, or Cormac McCarthy. Neil Gaiman is the shit, so is Clive Barker. Pahlniuk is good if he hadn't become so self involved. Bill Bryson is the man for humor and insight.
