Jaysus, what've you got? I'll give nearly anything a try. The things closest to my heart, though, are combinations that "shouldn't happen": Punk rock with accordions. Bluegrassified metal. Folk music (or music with folk-themes) in a hard, heavy format. Sweet, rolling tunes and voices that lyrically rip. You want to impress this stranger? You bring me your weird juxtapositions. Addendum: You want to break your heart and be angry about something? Go look up a translation of Rachid Taha's "Barra Barra".Television
..Brimstone, Firefly, and Farscape got cancelled; what's left?Books
At the moment: Freehold by Michael Z. Williamson. Good stuff; I can point you at a free copy if you're interested.

About me:
.."Hey, d'you have a MySpace?" my ex-brother-in-law asks as I'm walking him out to the student parking lot at his school.
"No, why?" I answer, just a little twitchy at the question I've heard no fewer than twenty times now from various sources.
"Dude! You need to get one!"
"Why? I've got a Livejournal."
"BAHHH, Nobody goes to Livejournal anymore."
"What? I go to Livejour--"
"But BANDS don't. C'mon."
"BANDS don't, usually, no, but people who think in longer-than-five-second bursts do. Meanwhile, MySpace boasts college kids and Ron Jeremy looking for the love of his life. C'mon yourself."
"Hey! I've got a longer-than-five-minute attention span! And anyway, Disturbed and Tom Petty have MySpaces."
"Mr. 'Sell your computer, buy a guitar'? I'll believe it when I see it. Petty hated the net, back in the day."
"You should come look. Hey! Here's my friends. Everybody, this is Jess, my... ex...sister-in-law..." Just for a second we all marvel at how long a title that is, and I miss when he'd call me his sister; he feels like the little brother I always wanted and I miss him.
The girls descend like seagulls on the box of candy he's carrying; I'm forgotten.
Elapsed time?
Five-point-one minutes.
But I've got a few friends with MySpace accounts, and they're sane enough in realtime...
So here I am.

3719 3rd Ave South (Bottletree Cafe)
Starring the sultry Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame as artist Salvador Dali and heartthrob Javier Beltran as writer Federico Garcia-Lorca, Little Ashes is one of the year's most anticipated films.
In the midst of the repression and political unrest of pre-Spanish Civil War, eccentric artist Salvador Dali and renowned poet and revolutionary Federico Garcia Lorca find their artistic and sexual freedom. The two form a bond challenged by their fierce ambitions, their friends, the struggle between a love for Spain and a love for each other.

A Birmingham SHOUT Fundraiser
Set in an all-male school, the story follows Timothy who suffers the wrath of his homophobic classmates. He withdraws into his imagination where macho rugby players morph into dancing fairies decked in go-go boy attire. When asked to star in the school play he first balks at acting. As Timothy eventually embraces the mischievous character of Puck, he finds the secret to a magical pansy that seems to turn people gay! He then puckishly imposes a new reality by turning much of his narrow-minded town gay, beginning with the rugby-jock of his dreams.

thanks for your blog comments... i'm behind, but i'm getting there.
stiff drink?
i'm not pregnant; bring it on.
i don't even drink, but hell, i may start. :)
and re: manicure... two answers.
Reason #1 -- it's easy to have neat nails when THEY ARE ALL YOU CAN REACH. between bedrest, not being able to bend over, and the absolute dredges of sheer human boredom, i was polishing them six and seven different times a day. they just happened to be pink at the hour it was time to make my way to the doc's office.
Reason # 2 -- us newly fat girls gotta have something.
makes us work harder. ;)
and yes, the nurses thought the manicure on the unshowered invalid was hysterical, too... i heard two of them talking once when they thought i was asleep.
glad to be so entertaining to the masses, lol! that's all i've ever wanted.
:)

it is certainly indicative of his writing style, at the very least. if you haven't, you should check them out. he writes good "lines."
