My Interests

Music:

The sound of my neighbor yelling for "Aureliaaaaaa!!!!" (the landlord)in the afternoon. Lazlo (the dog) signing along to an accordian. Baby Fights Incredible concept bands that have never left the imagination. A bunch of other music

Television:

Falling from rooftops or out of windowsI do watch Simon and Simon alot... I mean... NO! NEVER!Well, occasionally there is something Like Twin Peaks, The X Files, Webster, Get a Life, Arrested Development or Static. The rest is a bunch of hogwash!!!! And pundits!!! There aren't enough pundits on the screen giving us expert opinions.

Heroes:

Kill your idols!! These little bumper-sticker sub headings kind of freak me out. I guess my Grandmother, my dog,the person who faced off the line of tanks in Tiananmen square, people that do things to amuse themselves without telling anybody (like Andy Kaufman), and whoever does there will (and actually does it, not just talk about it).
