Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite book: Power of Myth, by Joseph Campbell
(I generally gravitate toward nonfiction)

Favorite Movie: Koyaanisqatsi

Music: Without music, life would be a mistake. I tend to listen mostly to electronic/idm/ambient/minimalist. I like music with really serious, grand aspirations, and/or something that describes really bizarre, unfamiliar things. Philip Glass is my favorite artist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tons of things - it depends on my mood and the other person, I'm sorry to say. But I realize now that if you discard context and are looking for something just nakedly shocking that many of the amazing things I remember tend to be not so uplifting..
How about this - I was with Bill Clinton the night he was elected president for the first time.
