books: i like a lot of cyberpunk, dystopic, weird (to me) kinds of
books. real thought provoking mind-benders.. you'll catch me
mostly, however, reading a lot of geeky technical journals, though,
when i'm not deep in the books for school.<br />
<br />
movies: most kinds, but i probably prefer pretty intense movies
that require a lot of thought while watching them (momento,
inception, the matrix, etc.). i enjoy a surprise twist or two (the
prestige, usual suspects, etc...), but not at the expense of good
storytelling (m. night shyamalan i'm looking squarely at you). i'll
watch a heart-warmers if they've got something more than a cloying
premise (princess bride, christmas story). i've also been known to
indulge in a horror movie or two (hellraiser, aliens, etc...). or
three... i'm also a huge fan of mystery science theater 3000 &amp;
rifftrax. oh, and my cousin vinnie.<br />
<br />
shows: a lot of adult swim stuff: aqua teen hunger force, archer,
frisky dingo, sealab 2021, etc. for "real people" shows, a lot of
comedies, particularly if they're from overseas: the mighty boosh,
the it crowd, little britain, etc. some quirky/geeky shows: eureka,
dr. who, etc. i'm also addicted to law &amp; order and some of its
offshoots: svu, crime unit, etc.<br />
<br />
music: i like two opposite extremes: raw, digital, industrial,
experimental, noisy ebm .. and a lot of classical. there's not much
in-between except a handful of bands: jane's addiction, smashing
pumpkins, ... pop music tends to make me just plain angry.. and sad
for us at the same time. ;-)<br />
<br />
food: wide, wide variety. not a picky eater at all .. love a lot of
ethnic foods from overseas (thai, japanese, korean, pakistani,
etheopian, etc.). i have been a vegetarian for a greater part of my
life now, and still plan on it from here on out. however, if you
check out my q&amp;a, you'll see that it's a choice for /me/, and i
won't upend a table at a restaurant in indignation if you order a
steak. well, maybe if you ordered veal or foie gras.. ;-)
