My Interests

Kiva.org

Music:

Byzantine and Russian chant, Tom Waits, Madeleine Peyroux, Modest Mouse, John Lee Hooker, Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, John Prine, Iris Dement, Django Reinhardt, Portishead, Lead Belly, Skip James, Taj Mahal, Bob Dylan, Staple Singers, Wilco. Also the OMWF soundtrack. And I like to speculate about how bluegrass and gospel are going to inform the tones of American Orthodox liturgical music.

Movies:

Oh yes, lots. See Cry Freedom, if you've never. But what we chiefly need is more movies about Jesuit Samurai.

Television:

The only thing I miss about real television: the Daily Show. Thanks to the magic of Netflix, however, I have become a total Joss Whedon addict. Tara, if you're out there: you were so right.

Books:

My required reading list: The Screwtape Letters, Lewis; Alice in Wonderland, Carroll; Pensees, Pascal; Time Enough for Love, Heinlein; "A Little Cloud" from Dubliners, Joyce; Just So Stories, Kipling (especially "The Elephant Child"); Godel, Escher, Bach, Hofstadter; Mark 2:1-12

Heroes:

St. Genevieve of Paris, C.S. Lewis, Fr. Arseny, Galileo. And, okay, let's be honest: Rupert Giles.
