Skiing, sailing, travelling the world, meeting new people, drinking with friends.
Friends, people I grew up with or met along the way...
Currently I'm into the Gorrillaz. Also "Blister in the Sun" by the Violent Femmes is firmly stuck in my brain after my recent trip to Whistler with friends. Anything by Coldplay, Oasis, U2, White Stripes, Jet, Black Eyed Peas and others.
My favourites of all time: Room with a View, Pride & Prejudice, Fight Club, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Shawshank Redemption, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. I am also strangely addicted to Bollywood films at the moment
I don't watch any! It eats your brain. Ohhh, ok - I got hooked this year by the Apprentice and the Bachelor. Terrible...
"An Introduction to ML" is an excellent read. Not necessarily for everyone though. Novels I've liked are Captain Corellis Mandolin, Amsterdam by Ian McEwan, The Time Travellers wife.
