A Pavement reunion tour? The gritty, hard-nosed play of Trot Nixon. Seeing Yo La Tengo play one of their Chanukah shows in New Jersey. Skee-ball. Bobby Orr's Stanley Cup-winning goal in overtime against the St. Louis Blues. Irony. Washing my hands when they're dirty. Taking the express train to Nappy-Ville. I'm starting work on my master's degree, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.
The Boston Red Sox and Bill Murray (not necessarily at the same time, though). In my mind, after several years of idolization, I have elevated Bill Murray to a nearly mythical, God-like status. I'm not saying that he could walk on water, turn it into wine, and, I don't know, cure a leper, but, believe me, brother, if it turned out that he could, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. Would you?

Music: It's delightful, it's delicious; it's da' best time to be had. Here's a tasty sampling: The Autumn Defense, Band of Horses, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Belle and Sebastian, Calexico, Johnny Cash, Cat Power, Elvis Costello, Crainbuilders, The Drive-By Truckers, Dropkick Murphys, Bob Dylan, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Fall, Edith Frost, Grandaddy, Howlin' Wolf, Mississippi John Hurt, The Kinks, My Bloody Valentine, Neutral Milk Hotel, Joanna Newsom, Nora O'Connor, Will Oldham (be it Palace Music or Bonnie "Prince" Billy), Pavement, The Silver Jews, Smog, Son House, Sonic Youth, Spoon, Swell Maps, The Velvet Underground, Tom Waits, Wilco, Yo La Tengo, Warren Zevon, and so on...
I like these movies: Bottle Rocket, Dr. Strangelove, Easy Rider, Evil Dead 2, Fletch, Garden State, Ghost World, Grosse Point Blank, The Hebrew Hammer, The Hustler, The Jerk, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Roxanne, Running with Scissors, Still We Believe, Stranger Than Fiction, Trainspotting, Wonderboys, and most of Albert Brooks's movies (Real Life, Defending Your Life, and Mother for instance). Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, and Lost in Translation make up the Holy-Murray-Trinity.
Arrested Development, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Monk, Mystery Science Theater 3,000, The Office, Scrubs, The Simpsons, and Six Feet Under. I'd probably sound cooler and above it all if I claimed that I didn't bother watching television, wouldn't I?
Reading is FUNdamental! Here's some good times for you and yours: Actual Air, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Among the Thugs, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, Bodies in Motion and at Rest, Do Fish Drink Water?, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the Fletch series, Fraud, Gig, Is There No Place on Earth for Me?, Jenny and the Jaws of Life, Love is a Mix Tape, On the Road, Random Family, Stiff, and Undertaking. Anything by Augusten Burroughs, Dave Eggers, Jonathan Franzen, Nick Hornby, Chuck Klosterman, David Rakoff, David Sedaris, or Sarah Vowell. I'd name more, but that seems like a nice, tidy amount for now.
You mean other than Bill Murray? Okay, Mark Ibold, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich, Spiral Stairs, and Steve West (formerly of Pavement and currently of their own damn selves), Dad, Paul Newman, Ted Williams, Elvis Costello, H.D.J., Hunter S. Thompson, Cam Neely, Steve Martin, Larry Bird, a whole slew of Davids (Berman, Bowie, Cross, Eggers, Letterman, Rakoff, and Sedaris), and, finally, Mr. Nomar Garciaparra.
