Writing, anything performing arts, museums, reading, being a super dork, eating, watching a buttload of movies and TV shows from Netflix, videogames, learning to cook, animals ( I want to have a menagerie)experiencing new things
Music
I really like classic rock, but can take interest in any type of music as long as there is either a) good lyrics b) innovative or both. I like anything from metal to Celtic music.
Movies
Oh dear lord, this is a long list and I won't bore you with it. But here's a few- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Star Wars, Spirited Away, Juno,Big Fish , The Prestige weirdo sci fi flicks with post apocolyptic/ dystopian society (think the Matrix, V for Vendetta, Logan's Run-cheesy but good), classics like Sunset Blvd, Taxi Driver, The Graduate and more weird twisty turny movies like Memento and movies with memorable lines oh and who doesn't like a good sword and sandal flick like Braveheart and Gladiator. Oh and anything Pixar and Disney.
Television
The Office, Dr. Who, Lost, Big Bang Theory, My Name is Earl, Top Chef, Project Runway, shows with food and weird twists.

Heroes
My everbaby and Dwight Schrute. And again anyone who stands up for themselves, are aware, challenge the norm or what appears right, think deeply and differently and those that despite hardships still have the courage to be themselves and to see beauty in life. Basically people who never loose themselves to the world.

i just saw it tonight, so i have to think about it a bit more, but i'm pretty sure i would give it a C. It did some things pretty well, but there were other things it screwed up royally.
Hey you! Long time no chat! :) All is good on this end... writing like a nutter. Also trying to make a low budget horror movie with a friend of mine who works on special F/X and stuff in the business. You got any projects on the hop?

as you will find, getting published is hard. you have to do research - find a magazine, order a copy, then read their submission details.. there's alot, some big, some not, but you have to consider the style of yr work.. fraid yr gunna have to do the hard yards... try GUD, otherwise... good luck.. (no novels published ..yet)
