wallball, singing, climbing, recording, drums again, Philip Glass, eventually relearning the piano, finding good records, writing, running, sushi, conversation, walking downtown to University Ave, sleeping in, rain. Pubs with decent food and bars with decent graffiti. Deep sea diving bells in hot tubs. Reading to music, but not knowing how to read music. When you find that open door, you've got to walk through. When it is locked, have a crowbar handy.
monkeys and astronauts mostly
Nine Inch Nails, DJ Shadow, Tom Waits, Social Distortion, Eels, Soul Coughing, Radiohead, Mogwai, Ministry, Soundgarden, Beck, Portishead, Postal Service, Drist, Pappy, other stuff.
Jacob's Ladder, Watership Down, Six String Samurai, Hero, The Red Violin, Blade Runner, Wes Anderson, Coen Brothers, Katsuhiro Ôtomo, that sort of thing. Syriana, Babel, Michael Clayton and that sort of thing.
little to none, but that doesn't make me cool.
Anything by Douglas Adams, Max Brookes or Kahil Gibran. Lot's of stuff. Stuff bigger than people, but raw enough to be about people. Good dark fiction, old college textbooks, audio hardware catalogues, local music rags.
Gumby, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.
