probably get struck down by the power for the king, but i am partial to a bit of smoked rainbow trout.....

[Tex Hex]

Reading - The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressel.
     (currently working my way through a tsack of comics too - tonight it'll be Grant Morisson's Gothic from Batman: LOTDK)

Listening - er, the 80's soundtrack of Vice City?  Especially Wave 103.  Last CD I bought was Medium 21's Killings from the Dial.

Watching - Six Feet Under is about it for TV.  I watched Chris Morris' My Wrongs... on DVD yesterday, and Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons in Runaway on video.  Currently trying to convince my girlfriend that Braindead is funny enough to mitigate the unparalleled gore.

I'd stand more chance telling her that Anal Sisters 4 is a romance.

"somebody else who likes tool!! well coool album...."

me too, me too!!

Today I started reading "Firing the Cathedral", Michael Moorcocks new Jerry Cornelius book. Just finished, or still going through the Appendices of The Illuminatus! Trilogy. Tooth obviously, although I haven't read a Meg for 6 months now. Someday soon, I shall be having a whole day of reading through them all. Joy! Full stories!! Still need to read Hellboy too before the film comes out.

Listening to umm, Ministry's "Animositisomina", David Holmes & Free Association, new Voivod album (which isn't bad at all, but nothing special really). Umm, anything and everything in my mp3 collection, when stuck on random. Right now it's on Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz Vol 2. Great!

Watching Futurama Season 3, Solaris the other night (Hmm, not bad, good atmos, bit girly really). No evil Sky in my house. Recently watched Breakfast of Champions (Kurt Vonnegut Jr book) with Bruce Willis, Nick Nolte in a dress :o), Barbara Hershey!!!! and other mad people. It was a hoot, I'd recommend it with the advise that it's well off the top shelf.
