Movies
Rumble Fish, American Graffiti, Kill Bill, Lost in Translation, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, , Dead Man's Shoes. David Lynch. Things that are nicely shot and end well. The ending's importance can't be overstated. Whatever is lyrical.

Activities
Confusing myself and others at parties. Lurking around like a weirdo, I don't know. Playing on State Street for change. Because I need it, yes.
Interests
I become fixated on any sort of art that seems to be truly new. But NOT if it's something worthless and new. Something that's only new because no one ever wanted to see or experience anything like it. Something that is new in that it's truly excellent, and can truly do what it's meant to do. That having been said, I'm very easily caught up in hype. Mostly the hype surrounding things like "love" and "relationships". Don't believe the hype.
