Date: 2004-02-23 11:58 am (UTC)This one is hard. I don't watch movies! Oh, wait! Here's one! "A Question of Silence."
My class really liked it. :)
2. a book
This one is doubly hard because I read so many books. I have to choose randomly, I guess. How about Passing Strange, by Joe Citro. I really think you'd like that one.
3. a musical artist, song, or album
I highly recommend that you pester CallunaV for the Filk that Will Not Die. I think it will amuse you.
4. a LiveJournal user not on my friend's list
Epicyclical. I don't understand any of the fandom stuff, but her entries about her father have me laughing so hard my tummy hurts. I also still remember her description of her friend with "Driver's Tourette's."
5. what I should have for dinner
Do this:
--Take a medium frying pan. Coat it lightly with good olive oil. Chop about five or six cloves of fresh garlic, sprinkle HALF of it in the pan.
--take a block of cheddar cheese and a block of feta. Chop into cubes and put into the frying pan, mixing randomly. Put on medium low heat.
--let the cheese melt gently. Sprinkle the top with the rest of the garlic and with oregano (fresh is best but dried will do). It is ready to eat when the cheddar starts bubbling.
--You can add fresh or dried tomatoes to the top, too (the former are best in summer, of course). Or other things which strike your fancy, such as peppers (which I personally dislike, but you may not).
--dip excellent crusty bread into the pan and eat. You may also wish to have carrots and celery (or slices of jicama) with it ("finger salad," I often call it).
This is an easy and quick and very decadent dinner. Based on the "Greek Melt" in one of the Moosewood cookbooks, I forget which.

Date: 2004-02-23 02:11 pm (UTC)2. The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie. I try to foist this writer on everyone. My best friend got me into him a few years ago and I've seen him speak live. The man is brilliant and wrote the screenplay to the movie Smoke Signals which is based on one of his short stories from the aforementioned book. His work is pretty serious (this particular book is all stories inspired by his upbringing on an American Indian reservation in the north west) but the man himself is one of the funniest motherfuckers I've ever had the honor of meeting.
3. Hmmm...Portishead. Just because I was listening to the song "Glory Box" last night and it's one of the sexiest songs I've ever heard. It's off the Dummy album. I dare you to listen to it and not think that the lady lead singer has one of the sexiest voices around.
4. Since you're also a performer (and because this guy royally kicks ass as a human being), I'll suggest
5. If you're not too terribly worried about something heavy, I'll suggest chicken pesto tortollini (sp?). It's "rub your nipples" fantastic. For something lighter, perhaps Japanese? Like a cucumber and crab meat salad followed by an entree of tuna, cucumber, and California rolls and with pineapple iced cream for dessert served in a hollowed out pineapple (yes, I did have something similar for dinner over the weekend. Why do you ask? ;)) Needless to say: YUM!
6. Well, as a moderator, I gotta plug the old Internet Infidels, a website for freethinkers, agnostics, skeptics, secular humanists, atheists, etc. A finer and smarter group of people I've never met. And one of the friendliest atmospheres on the net.
Okay, might as well slap my new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy icon onto this bad boy. ;)
Re:

My turn!
Date: 2004-02-23 04:04 pm (UTC)Evolution. David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, and Julianne Moore. Feckin' hilarious.
2. a book
Working, by Studs Terkel. It's old-ish, but really entertaining/enlightening.
3. a musical artist, song, or album
Anything by The Wicked Tinkers. Bagpipes, drums, a didgeridoo, and even a cast-bronze replica of a Bronze Age Irish horn. LOUD, LOUD, LOUD. As a matter of fact, that's the first album I have by them and it.fucking.rocks.
4. a LiveJournal user not on my friend's list
Gary! (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mrbearguy/) He doesn't post much, but he's a hoot.
5. what I should have for dinner
My recommendation? Indian food.
6. a website

Date: 2004-02-24 09:27 pm (UTC)If you like that book, you should expand and read The Toughest Indian in the World. The story "The Sin Eaters" just rips your heart out, though. My copy is one of my prized possessions (it's autographed. ;))
That picture on the back of Lone Ranger and Tonto kills me because it's so stoic. Alexie in person is extremely animated, always grinning, and astoundingly funny. And liberal as hell (a big bonus in my book. ;))
