appropriation. fractal physics and nonlinear sequential equations. thermonuclear dynamics within a typified vacuous system of source-based binary code. and robots. these questions are odd.
Myself of the future, like in Back to the Future II
I like music, a lot of music, and especially like supporting local acts and concerts of the bomb-shelter variety.
Yep, I like watchin the good ones. watching space balls in nashville right now.
Well, I like to say that I don't watch television, and I don't really. But then, every once in awhile, someone comes along with seasons of something on DVD, and its good so I watch it. Examples: the British version of "The Office" (Griffin), "Home Movies" (My Bro), "The Mighty Boosh (Anne) and for awhile I got really really into "The Twilight Zone." I was gettin them from the library. Some episodes are these really incredible little portraits of psycological disturbance, i.e. the effects of isolation: anxiety, paranoia and delusion.I'm kind of annoyed that I have more on here about tv than music, but music is so big...
Time for an update, but I'm going to keep this old blurb about the book sale, because its fun: I just went to this library book sale, and got two big boxes of books. It was a good time. They had a box sale, and I went through, found everything I wanted and stashed it. Then they herded us all outside, cleared the building, and made us line up in front. They gave us boxes, opened the gates and everyone ran in like panicked lemurs.I walked in, put my stashed books in my boxed, grabbed a few extra, paid my 5$ and left. Nice and calmly.At the moment, I'm reading, in no particular order of preference or commitment: "Where I'm Calling From" by Raymond Carver, a collection of his short stories. He's good, very spare writing about little life events. Also, "The Road to Martyr's Square," a sort of memoir, sociological examination of the struggle between Israel and Palestine in the first Intifada, with a focus on the Hamas graffiti and martyr memorabilia. Interesting, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if their sympathies lie on one side or the other. "The Oxford Book of American Poetry" edited by, uh, Letham, I think? That one speaks for itself, i guess. American poets. and Various book sof Native American and Mexican-American myths and legends. In these stories, the mountains walk around and have wives and husbands, and presumable have mountain sex because they have babies, too. I think that about covers it. Other enjoyed writers include, in no particular order: James Joyce, William Vollmann, John Fante, Davis Foster Wallace, Beckett, Bukowski (his poetry, which at times is stunningly beautiful), Eggers (sometimes, sometimes he seems like a child) DeLillo, Moody, Read some Trotsky, Burroughs, Umberto Eco (recently read the name of the rose, a gripping story and thematically very complex) , Plath, Flannery O'Conner has some good stories...I dunno, you'll just have to come root through my boxes.
