My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Food Network host and cooking guru Alton Brown, Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, actor R. Lee Ermy, musician Yokko Kano, film maker Hiyao Miyazaki, artist Don Figueroa, designer Ben Proctor (TF Movie designer), composers Howard Shore (Lord of the Rings triology), Steve Jablonsky (Transformers Score) and any designer who works at WETA.

Music:

I collect and listen to mostly soundtracks and music from anime. The soundtracks all share common themes of grand and sweeping scale. It's the sort of stuff that rises your spirits and butt from the seat. Think of the scene from Two Towers in which Gandalf leads the charge of the Rohirrim down the mountainside as they crash down like a great wave upon the Urukia. Great scene. I also have some P!nk, Gnarls Barkley, Blue Man Group, REM, the Coors, Venus Hum, Sarah Brightman

Television:

Lots of instructional shows. Good Eats, of course. Giada DeLaurentis, good show and she's hawt. BBQ University with Raichlin. Started watching America's Test Kitchen and Lidia Matticchio Bastianich's Italian cooking show. Both on PBS. Round it off with HD Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, Nat Geographic, and Military. ... and then there's Top Gear. An informative car program that that truly insane and a beauty to watch if you love wonderful camera-work, editing, and music.

Too many damn web apps

With all of the applications in Facebook and the time that goes into managing and responding, I feel as though I should be playing World of Warcraft.  Holy Crap.  It's grindtacular.
