vego's rantspot


i'm 2/3 idealist and 1/3 cynic, so i generally am willing to believe the best of the world, but the cynic in me gives me the necessary reality checks...

stuff i like, well...

reading, writing, music, songwriting, toy collecting (children's toys, ty very much... although the grown-up ones are fun ;) and spoiling my mini schnauzer.

My favorite diaries:

comments: my baby! the only dog in the world with his own online diary... mostly just bragging about how many kitties he scares and how he bosses Mummy around, but still fun.

My favorite music:

Billy Bragg
comments: very direct and overly-socialistic, but you gotta love 'im
Tori Amos
comments: i wish i could play piano like this chick does
Peter Gabriel
comments: can't say anything bad about this guy... brilliant songwriter and a true humanitarian
Donovan
comments: the best thing to come out of the 60's even if his articulation is... well, weird
Beatles
comments: you gotta love the Beatles! You just gotta! Sgt. Pepper's is their finest, especially Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite.

My favorite movies:

Drop Dead Fred
comments: one of the funniest films of the 80's but often overlooked
Birdy
comments: a strange, sad, compelling film about a guy who wants to be/thinks he is a bird
Labyrinth
comments: David Bowie surrounded by muppets. Does life get any better than that?
The Dark Crystal
comments: bizarre and kind of a little too dark for little kids, but a wonderful fantasy
Willow
comments: the brownies are the best, i like the one with the mouse head for a hat.

My favorite authors:

John Irving
comments: Thw World According to Garp is my all-time favourite novel, and i've read several copies into oblivion.
Stephen King
comments: okay, so it's not great literature, but it is entertaining.
Charles Dickens
comments: once you get past the language, his stories are wonderful and enthralling.
John Steinbeck
comments: good if you need a story to really depress you, this guy didn't understand about happy endings.
Anne Rice
comments: love the vampire novels (except for Armand, that one was whiny) and The Mummy
