Landscape Painting, Søren Kierkegaard, Chesca Girls, Commodity Art, popularizing Pre-Socratic Philosophers. Making art at my lil' U.N. pad with my lil' U.N. pals. I also enjoy watching kittens (esp. when they play in the sink). Scrapbooking

I'd like to meet:

Those with a real passion for lumination. Beyond that, I can't give you any more suggestions. ...Learn to market yourselves.

Music:

The Smiths, The Fall, Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, Dmitri Shostakovich (when properly performed).Lately I have been listening to a lot of Bole2Harlem, Matt and Kim, The Sultans of Ping, Half Man Half Biscuit, Ruth Etting, Michael Nyman, and of course the Smiths (but as for the Smiths, "by lately I mean the last 23 years").

Movies:

Peter Greenaway (Vertical Features Remake, The Falls, A Map of H, Drowning by Numbers, A Zed and Two Naughts), Yvonne Rainer's The Man Who Envied Women, Bruce Robinson's Withnail and I, Albert Brooks' Real Life, Marcel Carné's Les Enfants du Paradis, Stanley Donen & Peter Cook's Bedazzled, Rick Moranis & Dave Thomas' Strange Brew

I tend to read a lot of "potential literature" authors (aka the OULIPO group). However lately I have been reading Theodore Dreiser, A.J. Liebling and Ring Lardner intensely. Also some H.L. Menchen and Robert Benchely to lighten and sour the mood (conversely).
