Television:
..I don't watch TV really... Though, my roommate and I are debating getting cable in preparation for this winter... Hrmm...
Books:
..I love lots of them--but never really have the time to read them as much as I would like. I like plays. I read those when I can. Stanislovski and Artaud are big influences. Christopher Durang is probably my favorite playwright. Book-wise, give me anything by Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Ann Rice, or Terry Goodkind. I don't like depressing books, but I don't like uplifting ones either.
Heroes:
..I am my own hero.
