threeplusfireBecause I can not sleep, and I need something to think about that won't induce nightmares. Blame this fine gentleman for giving me the idea. Though I probably should break it into pieces to avoid madness.
=====
academica: a world I find fascinating and enticing, all those books and papers and endless arguments. really, there is no other place for me.
alan rickman: one of the best voices ever, and an actor I enjoy watching.
anathema: a good band, whose cd I keep trying to pilfer from my best friend's collection. I don't think he realized the trouble he would be getting into when he started letting me listen to his cds.
andrei biely: author of St. Petersburg, one of the best Russian novels ever.
andrei platonov: one of the authors I started reading because I was in love with my Russian professor and I would stare at his bookshelves to keep from blushing. The Foundation Pit is fantastic.
bata shoes: Czech shoe company, where I bought my nifty black sandals
belief: something I admire, and long for
belle & sebastian: one of those bands you just listen to in the afternoon.
bohumil hrabal: one of the best Czech authors, in my opinion. I Served the King of England saved my life one year.
bondage: it's fun. and what else am I going to do with all that rope?
botanicus: the greatest soap store in the world, in the Czech Republic. this year I brought home mint, lime-madarin orange, strawberry, orange-lemon, kiwi-lime, and apple-blackberry.
candy: both the sugar, and that song with Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson, which reminds me of the Christmas break where we stole a jar of jelly beans from our elementary school and ate them in the woods.
catholicism: I am not a very good Catholic, but I try.
clean hair: one of my tics, I suppose. I can not stand the smell of hair that has gone unwashed for weeks, and I hate the way mine gets oily so fast. plus, it is a joy to run one's fingers through someone else's hair.
cobblestones: I like them, even though they can't be good to drive on. they just look neat, and remind me of old things.
coffee: my life would not be complete without coffee in various forms. I started drinking it when I was still in elementary school.
collecting photographs: I am bad about taking pictures on my own, so I just collect them from others.
cooking: this is a skill I constantly want to hone. I am not bad, but I am not brilliant yet. somedays, all I want to do is run away to pastry chef school.
crux ansata: extraordinary zine writer, who I hope will one day find some kind of happiness.
current events: another one of my obsessions. I like to know everything that is going on, right now.
czech: a difficult and beautiful language, which I still don't speak well enough
czech literature: for such a small country, the Czech Republic has produced a lot of brilliant writers.
david bowie: a god amongst men, or perhaps an alien. his music rocks my world.
destiny: do we have one? is it fixed? I would like to know.
devetsil: a cinematic movement that produced some of the finest Czech New Wave film. makes me want to go to film school.
dj krush: just something I like to listen to on my headphones sometimes, and dream away.
don harrison: a newscaster on Headline News in the 80's and 90's. I grew up watching this man, and when he died, I was quite sad. Don was the voice of breaking news to me.
dostoevsky: one of my all-time favorite authors. I read Crime and Punishment over the course of two sleepless days in high school, and it sparked my fascination with Slavic literature.
dreaming: something I do too much of, and not enough. I dream quite vividly, even when I don't want to do so.
driving: finally, I am learning to enjoy driving in some ways. mostly because it is dangerous, and fast.
