Books: Crime and Punishment, Confederacy of Dunces, Calvin And Hobbes, Old Man and the Sea, Middlesex, Rabbit Run, Let the Great World Spin.

Movies: focus features, fox searchlight, sony picture classics, superhero movies and pixar. If you want to see me openly ball put on Up, Love Actually or The Princess Bride.

Music: Lately all I listen to are podcasts mainly This American Life, The Moth, WTF and Radio Lab. I'm having a lot of trouble not listening to the weakerthans, camera obscura, taylor swift and lately hip hop when I do feel like listening to music.

Food: try anything twice, just in case the first time it wasn't done well.

Picasso or Van Gogh, Picasso would be more fun but I'd geek out over Van Gogh more.

What will happen when the robots take over.
Why we don't have teleportation yet and how much better life would be with it.
