Longboarding, rowing, photography, video editing, windsurfing, Applescripting, to name a few.

Tony Blair, to ask why he made such a mistake with his buddy Bush when he could have been one of the best ever PM's in British history.

Anything but country music. Big fan of Motown, Funk, Punk, Rock, old school rap, some of the new stuff in hip-hop, but not too much R(ap)&B(ullshit). Let's name a few names: Pixies, David Bowie, James B, Arctic Monkeys, The Clash, Kid Loco, Brazilian Girls, The Chi-Lites (check out "are you my woman" and be surprised)...
All of David Fincher's work (Alien3, Seven, The Game, Fight Club, Panicroom). Argentinian beauties like "The Nine Queens", hail to Guy Ritchie with his "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch". "Layer Cake" is worth more than a peek...Latest seen when my MySpace page was created? "Wallace and Gromit and the curse of the were-rabbit": amazingly funny.
And of course, the writing skills of Kevin Smith:
And how about this gem I found on YouTube...
CSI (thank God swiss TV also broadcasts shows in english), Six Feet Under. A lot of stuff on a German/French TV station called Arte. If you speak french, check out their internet radio .
And here's another way I tend to use television.
Don't burn them.
is a song by David Bowie - "This song tells the story of a German couple who are so determined to be together that they meet every day under a gun turret on The Berlin Wall. Bowie, who was living in Berlin at the time, was inspired by an affair between his producer Tony Visconti and backup singer Antonia Maass, who would kiss "by the wall" in front of Bowie as he looked out of the Hansa Studio window. Bowie didn't mention Visconti's role in inspiring this song until 2005, when he was sure that knowledge of this fact would not affect Visconti's own personal situation - he was married at the time of the affair." - songfacts.com
