Thinking about updating my profile and not actually doing it, music, books, comics, cuddling with Fritz when I've been gone for a 10 days and he snores on my lap, games, metal work, political art, going around the world and not being a tourist, learning how to compliment your ass in Portugese, assorted geekery, meat on a stick, chicken fried steak at the Pantry, Russian guys from Ohio running jewelry shops in Singapore, different Russian guys saying "Aw, snap!" with that cute accent, bitching about not getting to go to Athens and Mayorca, 3 weeks off to play, new iPods and Ferrari laptops, spelunking, no longer renting
I'd like to meet:
People who aren't broken, just a little bent. I want to find people to do stuff with. I want to find people to do nothing with. Or anyone who needs a good bass player (or a kinda crappy drummer) to play serious music or just a bunch of trashy noise - I'm happy doing either. Or possibly someone who can speak Spanish for real and wants to go to Costa Rica.
Music:
I've been metally lately, the new favorite is Dillinger Escape Plan, Opeth, Mastadon, Kings of Leon, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, When I'm in old school mode - Black Flag, Bad Brains, Television, Husker Du, Devo, Wall of Voodoo, The Cars, M.I.A., Dizzee Rascal, The Streets, The Biz (cause he's diabolical), Meshuggah, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Silver Mount Zion, Bauhaus, Echo and the Bunnymen, Gang of Four, Talking Heads, some PIL, old Butthole Surfers and Dead Kennedys, KEXP, Slint, Fugazi, Isis, Neurosis, quality country and drunken honky tonk, lots of other stuff
Movies:
R. Kelly's Trapped In the Closet, I don't think it's supposed to be a comedy, though...bad horror, good sci-fi, anything by Jim Jarmusch, Tarentino, Weird Al Yankovic, Trey Parker, anything else that doesn't suck
Television:
Adult Swim, HBO Boxing, Discovery channel-any show about The Brown Tone is worth my time, and I just got sucked into Firefly, it's better than Buffy...
Books:
Right now I'm reading a graphic history of the American labor movement and the Wobblies, a book on thermodynamics and life, and Joss Whedon's X Men books, I recently read Bible Stories for Adults, Looking for Jake, and Bangkok 8, Anything by Brian Michael Bendis, Neil Gaiman, Neal Stephenson, China Mieville (accept that last one that kinda sucked), lots of military history, Edward Abbey, Everybody Poops, Legs McNeil
Heroes:
Aquaman. He's a superhero who's powers are unapplicable to 99% of supervillain related activity but somehow he perseveres in the face of his own overwhelming impotence.
