Date: 2005-01-25 11:02 am (UTC)1. "At Swim Two Boys", by Jamie O'Neill. Everyone who I suggested this one to liked it, so I hope you will as well. :)
2. Garage Olimpo. Quite the kick in the stomach, or lower, but worth it.
3. I have no idea which your musical tastes are... "The Holy Bible", by the Manic Street Preachers, is the album I liked best of the ones I heard as of late. (A review I read defined it as "harsh and desperate".) Quite different from their last born, "Lifeblood", I have to say.
4. Hm, that's tough. I'd say
5. Not pizza, if it has some strange fruit over. My italian blood coils at the thought.
6. Harry Potter and the Planetarium (http://lillithium.azile.net/)
7. "Yes, there was something altogether tantalizing about truth. One burnt to tell it, for it to be known. Dreaded it, too, that someone else should say it, their saying making it true, the truth true, unalterable. He thought pf that phrase from Wilde, What one had done in the secret chamber one has some day to cry on the housetop. Wilde had meant in confession. Was it conceivable to cry out with pride? When Kettle had asked was there a flaw in his character, he had replied that he did not think it a flaw."

Date: 2005-01-25 11:51 am (UTC)2. a book - The Talisman by Stephen King, or, for something a little stranger, The Notorious Dr. August: His Real Life and Crimes by Christopher Bram.. these two books are awesome.
3. a musical artist, song, or album - Tori Amos' album "Scarlet's Walk", or Interpol's "Turn On The Bright Lights"
4. a LiveJournal user not on my friends list -
5. what I should have for dinner - Chicken stir-fry.. mmm...
6. a website - http://www.neilgaiman.com/ I am not creative today.
7. a quote - "There's something inside that's yours, that they can't touch. That's the beauty of music. They can't take that away from you." from The Shawshank Redemption, one of the best movies ever.

Date: 2005-01-25 03:12 pm (UTC)2. Dick for a Day, a collection of stories by feminist theorists and other famous women about what they would do if they had a dick for a day. Very interesting read.
3. The New Pornographers. Specifically the Mass Romantic album.
4. Um.... hmm. Well,
5. mac and cheese.
6. Just... do a google search on 'Iceman art.' Go to the first site that comes up. Hilariousy bad comics fanart porn. (Warning: some of it is EMOTIONALLY SCARRING, especially if you're a Spider-man fan.)
7. Uh.... "Hell is other people"? Yeah, sorry, I got nothin'.

Date: 2005-01-25 06:40 pm (UTC)2. The Three-Cornered World (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0720611563/qid=1106677883/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-5080643-0238455?v=glance&s=books), by Natsume Soseki. A "haiku novel", where every phrase, every chapter could stand on its own as a complete work. Beautiful in its simplicity.
3. Nickel Creek (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004NK9T/qid=1106678002/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-5080643-0238455?v=glance&s=music&n=507846), eponymous album. They're young kids playing old country, and by old country I don't mean like Russia, I mean like bluegrass. Unbelievably skillful fiddling and mandolin playing, and beautiful vocals.

5. The Healthiest Soup Ever. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/beeblebabe/15474.html)
6. Cockeyed.com (http://www.cockeyed.com). How Much Is Inside? is enough to keep you busy for a day at work.
7. "A guitar is the human soul speaking with just six strings." from the manga Beck by Harold Sakuishi.
