LJ Interests meme results

1. buster keaton:
   My dad and I watched lots of his movies when I was growing up. I still love his work. That flat expressionless face and the monster stunts he did all himself, totally unique.
2. diedrichs:
   The coffeehouse that ate my entire life in 1996. Love/hate relationship at this point. I’m there almost every day and I probably will be unless I move out of town or they tear it down.
3. husker du:
   In 1984 I bought their single cover of “Eight Miles High” and was completely hooked. That same year “Zen Arcade” came out and tipped my musical taste upside down. They had a raw sawblade intensity and so much emotion.
4. kwyjibo:
   A Simpsons trivia item; Bart wins Scrabble with it. It’s here because my friend Steve, who knows way too much about the Simpsons, blew us all out of the water with a Simpsons trivia game with this answer and it impressed us all.
5. mexican midget rodeo:
   Yeah, it exists. Including Mexican midget go-go girls and midgets on fire. I have never seen it. Mexican entertainment is its own world.
6. octopus:
   One of my favorite animals. I just love watching them move. As a child I was mesmerized by Jacques Cousteau petting them undersea.
7. pynchon:
   “Gravity’s Rainbow” is my favorite semi-comprehensible novel, and I like “V” and “Lot 49” a lot too. He’s the American Joyce.
8. somethingawful:
   This is a great website for the laughing off of the ass, and once in a while for good satire too.
9. turbonegro:
   Over the top Nordic gay punk metal. Not anything to be serious about, but loads of fun.
10. zen:
    I like puzzling philosophies. Zen I particularly like because of R.H. Blyth’s insane classic book “Zen in English Literature and Oriental Classics”. But I couldn’t ever practice it. I can’t sit still.
