Music:
I listen to most anything with a good beat. Some of my favorites are the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Panther Attack!, Portishead, Billie Holiday, Mogwai, Radiohead, Frank Sinatra, tool, Chevelle, Jimi Hendrix, PJ Harvey, Bronze Fawn, and DJ Shadow.
Movies:
Some flicks I can watch over and over are Pulp Fiction, Stranger Than Fiction, Thomas Crown Affair, Empire Records, Man on Fire, Sandlot, and most anything with Audrey Hepburn.
Television:
I watch little television except Adult Swim. You might occasionally catch me watching something on Comedy Central, Discovery, or Spike unless my son is home. Then there might be some Nickelodeon, too.
Books:
I tend to have at least one book in progress. I read a range of things but lean mostly toward fiction. Some of my recent favorites have been The Secret of Lost Things by Sheridan Hay and Wicked by Gregory Maguire.
Heroes:
My son, Elias. He and I have discovered that mad skills come from the heart.
