3. A musical artist, song, or album
4. A LiveJournal group or user not on my friends list
5. Something to do in the next two months [though my plate is pretty full already]



[livejournal.com profile] prog: M uses the Spanish words caliente and picante when she wants to specifically refer to a food's temperature-heat or spice-heat (respectively) and that's so handy that I'll start doing it myself, I bet. Ditto.

Thanks for this post... I am killing some time at work. ;)

1. A movie - "Shall We Dance" (Japan)
2. A book - "The Long Sandy Hair of Neftoon Zamora" - Michael Nesmith (I really want someone else to read this because I am still not sure if I liked the book or not)
3. A musical artist, song, or album - Michael Nesmith solo stuff http://www.videoranch.com/
4. A LiveJournal group or user not on my friends list - libertarianism
5. Something to do in the next two months [though my plate is pretty full already] - Go to REAL Appalachia and take some pictures. Zenith, WVa would be a good place to start.

Real Appalachia is not the Burgs... more in the boonies. I went to Zenith for a funeral and the place is way the frick out there... well about 45 minutes from here, but still... NOTHING around. Pretty cool.

1. A movie: The Hotel New Hampshire (1984)
2. A book: The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain (a novella actually)
3. Album: No Mermaid by Sinead Lohan
4. LJ user: martinhesselius (he has 664 friends; I'm sure he won't mind one more!)

The Mysterious Stranger is one of the coolest stories ever, if you're not a big fan of God.

2. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.
3. Artist: Cat Power. Particularly The Covers album.
4. Gunn.
5. Floss your teeth every day. (this one should be easy!)

I (and Lisa would too) second the Jethro Tull recommendation. I rather enjoy insertion of interesting traditional acoustic instruments into rock 'n roll.

I'm sure some band could use a cello, Tucker :)

1. Falling Down. You've probably seen it though.
2. Boyd by Robert Coram. And Orbiter, of course.
3. Dandy Warhols - Godless. Get on ICQ sometime and I'll send you a copy, if you want.
4. I can't think of anything that you'd be interested in that I know about that you aren't already reading, so I'll just say the group "applefans" as a throwaway answer. And research shows that they've fixed the lack of a delete key... You can now plug in a normal keyboard and set the delete key to forward delete and the backspace key to backspace.
4. Design a board game, and bring it to a state where you can, without embarrassment, show it to other people.

Who said anything about Icehouse? I had a concept for a Blade Runner-themed Werewolf-like game the other day. Everyone gets a list of people to kill. Some people are androids, some aren't, and you are only allowed to kill androids if you're a human (you don't know what you are, of course). Still have no clue how it would work though.

1. My Neighbors the Yamadas, Studio Ghibli
2. I can't come up with something off the top of my head that's both good and you haven't read already.
3. Moby, We Are All Made of Stars
4. [livejournal.com profile] starfallz
5. File your taxes early :)

BTW, I enjoyed the fact that Japanese uses atsui or atatakai for temperature-heat and karai for spice-heat, but I suppose the Spanish is more convenient since it's the US's unofficial second language.

Yeah, I've got it on DVD, it's region 2 so you'd want to play it on a computer, but it has English subs. I'm not sure whether you'd appreciate it or not, it's a series of vignettes about Japanese family life. But yeah, I'll try to get it to you at some time, or Lisa and I will show it on our region-free player.

I've found that everything I've heard by Moby I either love or hate, so make sure to grab a few tracks before making a decision :)
