Virtual Machines, electronic gadgets, gaming, comedians who are actually funny, food, music, film, sewing and chickens.
I dunno. I have enough trouble keeping up with the people I already know.
Most recently I've been into:
erykah badu
mos def
cool calm pete
cheap trick
dan the automator
le tigre
hole
beck
the xanadu soundtrack
air
Most recently I really liked:
Chapelle's Block Party
Walk the Line
Jesus is Magic
I really shouldn't watch so much TV.
But I do.
ATHF rules!
The Boondocks rule too.
Strangers with Candy and Chapelle show both rule but I've seen all the episodes a million times.
And I watch way too much Law and Order (damn TiVO)
None of these are life changing Oprah book club type authors ... and they don't make me seem more intellectual ... but they're fun. I can't rock The Chomsky Reader on a lawn chair in the yard :)
Neal Stephenson
George RR Martin
Chuck Palahniuk
David Sedaris
It's OK but not as good as Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars
