Reading just about anything, learning Flash animation for future Journal projects, and most recently, desert gardening.
Music
I am always playing music when I write so I listen to a lot of great music in other languages: Ojos de Brujo, Ceu, Mariza, Pistolas, Lila Downs, Amalia Rodrigues, Caetano Veloso, Habib Kote, Salif Keita, and Cesaria Evora are all on my desk right now.
Movies
Seven Samurai (uncut version), Stray Dog, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Zaitoishi (original and remake), Chushingura, Hara Kiri, Enter the Dragon, Fist of Legend, Fearless, Blade Runner (the final new director's cut at last!), The Third Man, and anything good, bad or ugly with Christopher Walken (yes that includes the Omen mess)
Transformers, Simpsons, Pan's Labyrinth, Hell Boy, All three Blades (I know, I know), 16 Blocks, Run Lola Run.
Television
Flight of the Conchords--New Zealand's best export since the kiwi.

Here's what I am reading now: Catherynne Valente's The Orhpan's Tale: In the Cities of Coin and Spices, Peter Hoeg The Quiet Girl, Margaret Rosenthal The Honest Courtesan, Jon Courtney Grimwood Nine Tail Fox, and three of Liz Williams Inspector Chen novels (thank you Nightshade books!)

Who I'd like to meet: If it were possible, Flannery O'Connor.
Just checked out your blog - lovely and interesting! Loved your post about how to write a great novel. Louise Erdrich wrote about tying herself in her chair to write. I find copious amounts of caffeine does the trick.
Greetings and Welcome to the Enchanted Path! The fairies and I would like to extend our thanks for including us in your world! Hope you're enjoying the weekend! Karen
~as a rule, I avoid these "pass it on things like the plague! - but I do like this one! - so please forgive me !

Hi , thanx for the friendship , though I don't know much about writing , I know I gotta write it down [ or draw it ] when it comes to me ... for sure ....
Hello, Midori ... Just stopping by to see how you're doing in this not-so-new year. As for me, I have a new Imaro novel out, and hope to have two more available before the end of the year.
Could you tell me the name of the book that you had us read for your class several years back about the transformation of boys into men in the Blackfoot tribe. I haven't read it since then and can't remember much about it, but what I do remember was great and would like to read it again.
Ha! - thanks for that vision of sugar dusted mountains Midori! - here in the Clyde valley, it's definitely not mild, but we are also surrounded by snowy hills. xxx
