jewsom: wow, i've never come across another green tea-o-phile.. i've been addicted to the green stuff for about 7 years, i have about 10 cups a day.. apparently it does wonders for your health..

not such a fan of the wailing wall.. i remember going there and stuffing something of mine into it a few years back, the whole 'holy land' thing was all rather underwhelming - egypt was incredible though


albummaster: pork scratchings eh.. looking forward to an early heart attack then! haha.. nah, they are at least low carb.. or something

the holographic universe is one of many such books i've been meaning to get round to reading.. i'm definitely of the persuasion that there is indeed some kind of superconscious element to reality..




Favourite Album:
pet sounds..although any of my top 10 would suffice

Favourite Song:
couldn't possibly pick one, but smells like teen spirit is the benchmark to which i'd hold anything else up to

Favourite Painting:
can't say i've ever been captivated by a painting.. perhaps a self-portrait..

Favourite Food:
thai, indian, chinese (eastern living is the way forward!) failing that a full rack of ribs in bbq sauce or something italian..

Favourite Quote:
1. "business." MUST be heard in context:

telefunker, you might want to lay off the green tea. I was drinking it excessively until a former English professor recommended this story:

http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/l/lefanu/green/

I recently went to Israel and, as unreligious as I am, got all emotional at the Western Wall. It was a very powerful experience for me. It's probably just because I'm Jewish, but the entire trip was very amazing.

I forgot all about Speak the Hungarian Rapper. Tupac Shakur, rest in peace, he was the greatest. Hahaha. Don't know what they're fighting for- business. Hahaha. If this man has an album, I need to buy it.

I'm not a huge fan of poetry, but you haven't read any poems that you thought were great?

[Elston]

bc1991, good pick for a painting. Edvard Munch is great. Have you ever seen that movie from 1975 they did of his life? fantastic.
