I love the comic books, but also the real books with no pictures.
My favorite book of all time is Dune. but by bookshelf ranges from
Dickens to Douglas Adams. From Hunter S. Thompson to Francescia Lia
Block. I must say that I have a soft spot in my heart for
long-running mystery/crime series. I blame Fletch. The Parker books
are the best of the bunch in my opinion.

When people find out how much of a movie geek I am, people ask what
my favorite movie is. The answer, for over 20 years now, is Brazil.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen that movie and I
still find something new every time I watch it. Here's some others,
knowing full well that I've left hundreds out:
The Thin Man, North By Northwest, Wings Of Desire, L.A.
Confidential, Until The End Of The World, Some Kind Of Wonderful,
Better Off Dead, The Hudsucker Proxy, Incredibles, Ferris Bueller's
Day Off, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Ichi The Killer, Dazed &
Confused, Meatballs, Animal House, Ghostbusters, Super Troopers,
Anchorman, Up, Wall-E, Let The Right One In, Pi, Miller's Crossing,
Rear Window, Run Lola Run, Battle Royale, Zombieland, Sympathy For
Lady Vengance, Rushmore, Tell No One, Tron, Star Wars (do I have to
even say which ones?), Kill Bill, Big Lebowski, Time Bandits, Die
Hard
Music is very important to me. It's the soul of life. It gets me up
in the morning and puts me to bed at night. But I could never be
bound to one genre because I believe there's a song to go with
every flavour of mood in the human experience, and the songs can't
all be in the same genre, can they?
That being said, here's some of my favorites right now:
The Pixies, Hank Williams, France Gall, Neutral Milk Hotel, The
Cure, NIck Cave, The Magnetic Fields, MGMT, LCD Soundsystem, Rock
Sugar, Ken Nordine, Serge Gainsbourg, bat for lashes, Modest Mouse,
The black kids (am I allowed to put them down if I already put down
the Cure? Sure! Go ahread! It's your list!), Yeasayer, Digital
Underground,Biz Markie, The Dead Milkmen (June 12th!
woo-hoo!)
Notice that this list is subject to change without any notice,
depending on the mood and/or weather.
As for Food, no big long lists here. I love food, and am always up
for any new culinary adventure! I believe that food is not just a
way to get nutrition in our bodies, but that the history of a
culture's diet paints a picture as rich and as detailed as any
written history.
