anything with sugar in it. Cows and Pirates. language: mostly french; Icelandic will fuck your day up, too, physics: string theory graphs and exploring the difference between Einstein's theories of special and general relativity really get me going, dance: free style or classical, and Irish Coffee--actually, any kind of coffee--mmm
Sylvie Guillame

JP (for those not in "the know", JP stands for Jurassic Park), I totally dig french films, too: La Jette, Alphaville, L'Anne Dernier a Marienbad, and I love Dr. Zhivago. Omar Sharif is d'bomb, bitch! I guess I should be hip now and mention Wes Anderson, David Lynch, Cubrick, and Cohen Bros. movies. What...?.. They're really good. I also have to confess that I really like Strickly Ballroom. Sometimes, you just have to embrace cheesiness. I have to add that The Cronicle's of Narnia and Garden State were stinky!
Big Love is the awesomest television show about poligamyst mormons. And 30 Rock is totally rad, mad. I tried to watch So You Think You Can dance...what a sham!
I just finished Ayn Rand's We the Living. So epic...so sad...WOW!!! I'm into poetry, but my preference in poets changes with my mood. I re-read Celine books and Perec books. Yea, I'm a dorkus m'lorkus. I will say that Dr. Zhivago is awesome. I read one of Sam Shephard's poetry books not too long ago, and it made me cry--in a good way. Denis Jonson's Jesus' Son is one of the best books EVER. I also love Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters. Joyce's Dubliners is great, but the rest of his stuff is long-winded, drunken Irish bullshit. Nathanel West's A Cool Million and Celine's Journey to the End of the Night rock my world as does Robbe-Grillet's Jealousy and Weekend in Marienbad. Perec's Life a Users manual rules along with anything by Margaret Atwood. Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is pretty descent of your in the mood to slit your wrist. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, any poem by Mayakovsky or Ted Berrigan, D.A. Levy, Rimbaud, Mina Loy, George Oppen, Bob Kaufman, Frank O'Hara, and Susan Howe, anything by Emma Goldman, Tom Wolfe, Tom Robinson, Kafka, Frederic Jameson, Annie Dillard, Heidegger, and Sartre, If on A winter's Night by Italo Calvino, Cane by Jean Tumor, Poe rules -- especially The Casque of Amontillado, and Colors of the Mountain by Da Chen.
My dad, of course.
