Yes, music. Also sports, particularly NBA basketball (Houston Rockets) and major league baseball (Houston Astros). UT football. Sci-fi. History. The Texas hill country. Progressive politics.Tex-Mex food anytime, all the time. Hanging out with the missus and my dogs.
Music
All of it. Every friggin' note ever written, performed, recorded, hummed in the shower, stuck in somone's head and they couldn't get it out until someone brought up another one, from the first rythm pounded out on a rock at the dawn of sentient man to whatever is being written at this very moment. I dig it.
Except "Burning Flame" by Vitamin Z. God, what a horrid piece of crap that was.
Movies
12 Angry Men. Dr. Strangelove. All Monty Python. All Christopher Guest. Raising Arizona. Star Trek flicks. Serenity. Juno.
Television
Corner Gas.
A lot of shows on Fox that were cancelled (Firefly, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Titus) Battlestar Galactica; All Trek; Red Dwarf; NBC Thursday, Fox Sunday; SNL; Adult swim; It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Books
I read a lot of reference materials - stats, lists, dates, blah blah blah. Winston Churchill: "A Study in Greatness"; In Cold Blood; The DaVinci Code; scores of books on famous bands/musicians
Heroes
Winston Churchill. My parents. Macca. Hakeem. Bill Clinton - If for nothing else, anyone who can twist up the collective neocon panty like he did is aces in my book. Then there's that whole "Peace and Prosperity" thing. Jean Luc Picard. Bill, JB, and Ernie. Hank Hill.
About me: I'm on imdb.com now, kinda a big deal. Yeah.
Tall. Texan. Lefty. Funnier than you. Wearing a mask of false bravado. I'm a native Houstonian living in the Texas oasis of Austin.

We're convinced that we actually won. I'll explain: two years ago we placed 4th, last year, second and this year we got so many votes that we placed second in experimental while concentrating on cover. However, according to the chronicle, we didn't even place. Now, according to the rules we couldn't win any other categories if we won "none of the above" so I think they just took us out and gave it to the eggmen. At least thats my theory.
