Writing, cooking, reading, watching too much TV, talking about too much TV, tennis, politics, and wasting away my work hours on Myspace.
Music
I like it in my ears... and various other orifices.
Movies
I'd like to write a sequel (maybe even a prequel) to Ishtar, because I'm pretty sure no one else will, and I'm pretty sure you can only go up from there.
Television
Arrested Development (RIP), The Sopranos, Deadwood, Scrubs, 24, World of the Psychic, Bassmaster (it's a fishing show), Strangers With Candy, Kids in the Hall, Mr. Show, The Soup, Best Week Ever, Lost, Everyday Italian, Dead Like Me, Top Chef, Rachel Ray (if I have the TV muted), and The Daily Show.
Books
Harry Potter is my personal crack, and now I don't know where I'll get my next fix. Anything by: Jim Thompson, Mark Twain, Raymond Chandler, Raymond Carver, Christopher Moore, David Mitchell, Ben Elston, Nigel Slater, Nigella Lawson, Ruth Reichl, and I'll round it out with the grumpiest of all the Brits, one Mr. Martin Amis.
Heroes
I'd say Ghandi, but this is sort of about food, and he didn't really eat that much.

About me: I might have been born without a sense of smell, but more than likely I was dropped on my head as a small child, which rendered my sense of smell null and void. Regardless, I am now olfactory challenged. Since I never know what I smell like, I shower with obsessive-compulsive regularity, and I have my wife smell all dairy products and leftovers before we tuck in.
My conundrum is I love to cook, and I love to watch people eat what I cook. But I often have no idea exactly what they taste when they eat what I cook.
I do have a sense of taste, but I’m sure I’m missing something. Some distinctness, I suppose. I don’t think my tongue has developed super human tasting abilities like those blind people who can hear a pin drop from a mile away. For example, I cannot distinguish between most flavors of Jolly Ranchers. They’re all just pure sweetness to me. Sour Apple I can pick out of a crowd, but Cherry and Strawberry are one in the same as far as my tongue is concerned. Now, if it were real strawberries and cherries, I can usually figure that out, and not by texture alone.
So, there it is. I don’t look upon myself as disabled, but I’m hardly complete. I’m not looking for pity; I just want to give everyone the heads up that you’re dealing with a guy with four senses, so everything I write here will be overshadowed by that. But if someone wanted to make a movie-of-the-week about my plight, all I have to say is if Brad’s all booked up, Colin could do in a pinch – just get him to shower first.
And I’m also a vegetarian for the time being. I don’t guarantee I’ll stay that way.
LOL this is crazy! And it only works if you have Internet Explorer (I think). You have to go to www . retwistic . com (no spaces) and then after it loads you need to hit the back button or else the funny video won't come up. If that doesn't work then hit the forward button instead.
We just posted the first episdoe of BlendinTV Season 2! We're really excited for you to check it out and tell us what you think! We're always looking for new food ideas so send us some if you want!
The Craic Festival 2009 has invited FairplayCollective to play at this years Festival. All members will be playing in the round. The show is at The Mercury Lounge, March 14th at 8pm. This is the last night of the festival and Foy Vance is also on the bill.
What more can I say, a great night for music and film, with the odd star thrown in. Come show your support.

However you choose to pass this Christmas, remember the reason why Jesus came. Amidst the ranting and the raging [Psalm 2], Christ still “...heals the brokenhearted, proclaims liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, and sets at liberty those who are oppressed” [Luke 4:18]. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” [Luke 2:14]
