Book: The Complete Joy of Homebrewing. I typically stick to
non-fiction and the audio CD format from the local library as I
just don't like keeping around rows and rows of dust-covered books.
True, I'm well aware people like to perpetually store their books,
whether read or unread (or never to be read again), to showcase to
their friends and family that, yes, yes, indeed, they CAN read, but
I'm going to let my friends and family just trust me on this whole
literacy thing.
Movies: Everything from Raiders of the Lost Ark to Ed Wood to
Bedknobs and Broomsticks to A Night at the Opera to Godfather I
& II (III was a bit of a dud for me) to Paper Moon to Watership
Down to the lovely French film, The Grand Illusion.
Shows: Honestly, I don't watch much television. Really, how does
everyone find the time for all these shows? I used to watch House,
but haven't caught the last two seasons. Oh, I did enjoy the couple
episodes of Parks and Recreation a friend made me sit through! Does
that count?
Music: Pinback.
Food:
Beer.
I'll go ahead give myself a firm pat on the back for my performance
in the kitchen lately. Not because I've cooked anything strikingly
gourmet, or done any major culinary experiments worthy of note, but
because I've been making all my own food lately. All of it! And
while the stuff I've made has been of the relatively simple,
"comfort food" variety, I have managed to perfect a few simple,
pure recipes which I believe I shall hold dear to my heart for as
long as a live. Among said recipes are:
-The Greatest Burger of All Time
-The Greatest Chili of All Time
-The Greatest Beef Stew of All Time
-The Greatest Grilled Cheese Sandwich of All Time
That's good eating, right there, ladies. And more importantly, it's
all dirt cheap!
