Music:

What's to say about music? It's my motivation after a long day of work; my only consolation while driving; the beat my heart dances to. Lately, I listen mostly to movie soundtracks: Jon Brion. David Bowie. Mark Mothersbaugh. I often dabble in modern music: Ladytron. Okkervil River. Coldplay. Feist. Jeff Buckley. Rilo Kiley. Neutral Milk Hotel. The Fire Theft, thank you Yenny. I'm fond of just about anything from the 60's: CCR. Simon & Garfunkle. The Zombies. Nico. Bob Dylan. The Rolling Stones, because it's in my blood. I'd be lying if I didn't mention The Beatles. And Early Jazz is a guilty pleasure: Annette Hanshaw. Fred Waring. Gene Austin. Etcetera.

Movies:

Princess Bride. Willow. The Importance of Being Earnest. Bridget Jones. Pride and Prejudice (A&M version). Office Space. Garden State. I Royal Tenenbaums. Rushmore. The Life Aquatic. As Good As It Gets.

Television:

What is this thing you call "television"?

Books:

The Good Book. Classic English/American Literature. Etiquette Books. Domino Magazine. Vogue.

Heroes:

Jesus. Nick Vujicic. Melissa Stephens. Naomi Berg. Yenny Myerscough. Natalee Gregson. Jessica Wheel. Amy Giese.
