Interests
General
Comedy, politics, chess, reading, food, films, playing piano, drinking. I'm sure I have others; this doesn't have to be an exhaustive list.Music
Movies
The Zero Effect, The Edukators, Anchorman, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, movies based on graphic novels that don't make you want to gnaw out your own eyeballs (can't think of many examples - V for Vendetta wasn't too awful, I suppose), Seven Samurai, Being John Malkovich, HappinessTelevision
Don't really watch TV I do box sets and sometimes internet TV. Anything written by Joss Whedon is alright by me (Buffy, Angel, Firefly). Arrested Development, that was superb. Also Family Guy, The West Wing, Futurama, Peep Show, 30 Rock, South Park... Quite enjoying Lost. Most guiltily, I'm addicted to Smallville, but under no misapprehension that it's any good; it's the worst-written show I've ever watched - I'm just in so deep now that I can't stop.Books
