Contemporary art, contemporary design and theory, literature, hanging out with close friends. recently I discovered that I look a lot like Stephen Colbert so I may try to steal his identity, but I'm not sure yet.

..The Cinematic Orchestra, Radiohead, Paul Simon, RJD2, Roykstop (Melody AM), Alice in Chains, The Fugees, The Talking Heads, Nina Simone, The Grateful Dead, First Last and Only, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Gustav Mahler, Schubert, The Police, and many more.
In no particular order: With a Friend Like Harry, Habit, The Graduate, The Films of Krzysztof Kieslowski, The Films of Michael Haneke, Easy Rider (I should have put this at the top of the list), Roma by Fellini, The Passenger (Jack Nicholson did his best work in the '70's), Gattaca, Lord of War, Repulsion by Polanski (Catherine Denuve is incredible), Belle du Jour, Borat, 2001 by Kubrick (Yes, I am a dork), Russian Ark (a very big dork). There are far too many titles to list here. When I was in high school I would spend my weekends at the Cinematheque and I consider my time spent there to be as valuable as anything else I did in high school. I am a film buff in hibernation and look forward to some free time so that I might rekindle my old passion.
