Take hot baths, trouble my brain, read, watch a movie, or two, or three, and a season of a good TV show, preferably in one sitting, read again, in a hot bath, contemplate while watching the forest at the end of the field, getting depressed about humanity, take a hot bath, watch another season, trying to get through another day without crying in public, wasting another ten minutes of my short life updating the "interests" section on myspace, read again.
All of the above preferably while having sex...
Music
Jeff Buckley, The Beatles, Faith No More, Tori Amos, Simon & Garfunkel...
But I'm more of a song/album kind of guy than a band/artist kind of guy to be honest. So, in closer detail: Jesus Christ Superstar, the Etanol album by URGA, the ULTRA album by Depeche Mode, Ritual's first album, "Mission Earth" by ELO, the Eye in the Sky album by The Alan Parsons Project, "Life on Mars" by David Bowie, "The Man from Utopia Meets Mary Lou" by Frank Zappa, Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt", the California album by Mr. Bungle, "Bright Eyes" by Art Garfunkel, Chess, "The Winner Takes it All" and "Happy New Year" with ABBA, the Whore album by Dalbello, the Beautiful Freaks album by Eels, "Complainte pour Ste-Catherine" and "Swimming Song" by Kate and Ann McGarrigle, "He's My Brother" with the Hollies, "Farm on the Freeway" by Jethro Tull, "Lo Chiamavano Trinità" from the first Trinity movie, "Suicide is Painless" from the M*A*S*H movie, "Nature Boy" with Nat King Cole (the Bowie version is great too), "Summer Wine" with Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood, the Ten album (and "Indifference") by Pearl Jam, most of the songs on Limp Bizkits' Chocolate Starfish album, "Jolene" with Dolly Parton (Olivia Newton John's version is good too - the one I grew up with actually), "Mutter" and "Man Gegen Man" by Rammstein, "Yellow Raven" by Scorpions, the music from The Dark Crystal, War of the Worlds by Jeff Wayne...
Well, the list could go on forever, but those are some nice handfuls. Add a few pinches of Sting and Queen and early Elton John and you're set to go.
KISS was a big part of my life when I grew up, so it would feel weird to leave them out. However, few are the days when I listen to them nowadays. I vote for The Elder and Unmasked rather than "Strutter" and "Black Diamond" any day of the week too, so I guess that sets me apart from most "real" KISS fans.

About me: Dualistic gemini Peter Pan with slight mano depressive tendencies. A perfectionist with a taste for the flawed, always on a tightrope of ambivalence between Want and Need. Life in full view but out of reach.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to have a dinner with the following people and see if we would manage to get any food between the discussions: Mahatma Gandhi, Adolf Hitler, the biblical Jesus, the real Jesus, Carl Sagan, Tage Danielsson, John Lennon, Hatchepsut and Astrid Lindgren.
I would also like to meet Audrey Hepburn (maybe just a little kiss?), Gene Kelly, Sammy Davis Jr, Elvis, Paul McCartney, Charlie Chaplin, Nefertiti and every scientist that devoted his/her entire life to investigate or prove something that he/she found irresistible.
Then, if I could just have dinner one on one with every one of my dead grand parents. To be honest, that would be my first hand choice...
