Formula 1, SCCA, driving fast, pit crews!, Gold Star Racing, working at the track, Black Cat Racing, Halloween, natural history, biology, herpetology, amphibian declines, teaching science, subversion of cretins in positions of power. I'm hopelessly addicted to racing! November Fire!
Friends and racing folk.
Angry shit. Silly shit. Spooky shit. Ramones. AC/DC. Tiger Lillies. Tom Waits. Butthole Surfers. RevCo. The Cramps. Paul Simon. White/Rob Zombie.
Anything by Werner Herzog. Most by John Waters. Night of the Living Dead. Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Yeah, horror and drag queens turn me on. And I can't forget Grand Prix. That movie says it all for me and my interest in F1 racing. A Clockwork Orange. Cinema Insomnia with Mr. Lobo.
Formula 1: I watch it no matter the hour! MASH. Friends, to detox at the end of the day.
Between Pacific Tides- Edward Ricketts. Anything by Stephen Jay Gould. Steinbeck and my new-found fondness for fiction. The Smaller Majority- Piotr Naskrecki. Alex Zanardi- My Story. The most amazing racing and general life book I have ever read. It is impossible to put down. You can live through anything if you can live through what this guy has.
Strephon Taylor. Kimi Raikkonen. Alex Zanardi. Stephen Jay Gould. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Galileo Galilei. Gregor Mendel. Charles Darwin. People who do the right thing.
