Some of my biggest interests include music (record collectors,
instruments), Japan, drawing, reading and nerdy stuff like
astronomy, sci-fi shows and anime/manga.
I'm currently reading White Noise by Don Delilo. Books I really
enjoyed were written by people like Bukowski, Kafka, Wilder,
Bulgakov, Capote, Dostoyevsky, Clavell, Wilde, and of course Huxley
and Wells. In terms of manga I would have to say my two favourite
are Hellsing and Blade of the Immortal, however Peace Maker
Kurogane is great too.
We will usually end up watching any sci-fi or post-apocalyptic type
show or movie that comes up on Netflix, although I'm always happy
to find interesting documentaries. I'm not sure about favourites...
I've also watched my share of anime, Hellsing and Samurai Champloo
are at the top, along with Princess Mononoke I think, but I also
like Naruto, Cowboy Bebop, early Bleach and studio Ghibli
films.
As for music, well... I like most kinds of music, what I regularly
listen to consists of the Beatles, the Velvet Underground, Pixies
and Frank Black (and the Catholics) and the Breeders and the Amps,
RHCP, Beck, Butthole Surfers, 60's rock (pre-psychedelia) like
Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera, Pink Fairies, Pretty Things, the Fugs
and the MC5, some Psychobilly like the Meteors, Tiger Army and
Nekromantix, Sublime, Bad Brains, Rancid (I used to listen to more
punk but not as much anymore, I like Strung Out, Bigwig and lighter
stuff like Green Day), Violent Femmes, the Misfits, Shonen Knife,
the Stranglers, the Damned, the yeah yeah yeahs, I do enjoy some of
the Brit invasion stuff like the Coral (early) but I listen to alot
more Franz Ferdinand and Libertines, Modest Mouse, the Strokes,
Gorillaz, Doors, T. Rex, Bo Diddley, Snakefinger, Parliament and
Funkadelic, Zappa, Pavement, Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of
Death Metal, Primus, Beastie Boys, Nirvana and the Meat Puppets,
White Stripes, Tom Waits and I really like the Cars self-titled
album but that's it. And Yura Yura Teikoku. I'll often listen to
blues, mostly older stuff, and a bit of jazz too.
I like all kinds of food - Pasta for suuuure, Thai, Indian, Junk,
Japanese and candy if I can use that as a category.
Why aren't video games in this favourite section? Professor Layton!
Wario's woods and classics like all zelda games and mariokarts :)
My favourite arcade games are X-Men vs. Streetfighter and Marvel vs
Capcom II
