Then again, it could be nachos and burritos from El Burrito Express in SF or ginger chicken from Tu Laan in SF) It could also be fettuchini alfredo from Joe's of Westlake. I have way too many favorite foods) thinking metaphysically and pondering the theories of quantum physics and astrophysics.

There are so many movies that I love that I will have to get back to you on this.
The Office, Weeds, Californication, Entourage, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, South Park, Family Guy and a few others, but mainly I like movies.
Anything by Hermann Hesse, I've read them all. Bukowski is really great too......oh yeah and Mark Morford's twice-weekly "Notes and Errata" column in the San Francisco Chronicle. He's the best columnist ever!!
