Television
Not a big TV person... however, I am a fan of that 70's show, the office, the drug years (VH1), freaks & geeks, and arrested development. sometimes i find myself watchig The Joy of Painting hosted by Bob Ross and i find that the straight up hippiness of the program relaxes me. i also enjoy court tv, the history channel, and the discovery channel... so basically, anything funny or nerdy floats my boat.
Books
"Sometimes when sailors are sailing they think twice about where they're anchoring and, I think I could make better use of my time on land, I'll drink less 'cause Lord knows i could use a warm kiss instead of a cold goodbye, I'm writing the folks back home to tell them... Hey I'm, hey I'm doing alright." -The Format
