Does anyone really have time for such things? I actually had a job.
- General Interests
photography - digital colour, manual B&W; conversation.
- Hobbies
Bar Fly mainly. Sleeping is ok too, when I can get it.
- Books
Joyce Johnson (just finished 'In the Night Cafe') - it's not often that a writer achieves this level of poignancy so naturally and without condescention.
Anything by James Ellroy (what a dark mind), George Bataille 'Blue of Noon' (delectable self-loathing insight into the human condition)
- Magazines & Newspapers
I'm trying to ditch the glossies and read more of the latter. I tend to select mags based on specific articles and newspapers based on general content/ commentary

A rewarding necessity - not a chore as many would have it.
- Fine Arts
All (as long as this doesn't include those featuring elephant poo or an unmade bed)

- I'd rather be
taller
- Sports
rowing (the simulated kind in a gym, although quarelling is good too), hockey (gotta love running around with a bat), water skiing (I tried it once on a simulated machine, and was told I was a 'natural')...perhaps simulated sports don't count.
