You United-States-ians. As far as movies go I prefer the comedies; not a big horror fan, although I do like the action as well. I'll admit, I also enjoy the romantic comedies from time to time - I'm a sentimental guy. :P
See, what makes netflix awesome is that they have all the crap you can't get at the corner movie store. I went on a LONG samurai kick, and got into a huge amount of old japanese films. I've gone through a lot of the classic European directors too, like Fritz Lang and Federico Fillini... Yeah I started that off a bit soft. See, this is my biggest hobby outside of the obvious. If you want serious movie recommendations ever, let me know. I can be good at it.
I'm trying to start jogging to lose some weight. 260lbs is a bit much for my tastes.
Heh. I've done two little blog posts about weight loss recently. The second one sucks and I want to combine it with the first. Soon I plan on going into a follow-up about exercise. See, I was, a while back, what jeff calls "hyperfocused" on weight loss. I did 210->165 (sorry guys, Imperial units) in about 3 or 4 months. And it wasn't starvation or anything. I'm not very good at staying at 165 though - that's what I get for having hobbies that mean I sit on my ass.
I actually personally don't drink any alcohol, personal and religious reasons, but that makes me a great designated driver! :D
That has always impressed the hell out of me. Not religious convictions, per se, but _convictions_. People who do what they want because THEY believe it, and don't back down. I find it amazing, so keep it up! On 10/1/07, Damir Perisa <damir.perisa@solnet.ch> wrote:
my most time intensive hobby is not arch but photography. have a look here: http://lux.perisa.ch
Wow that's a) new to me, and b) damned impressive. Photography is one of those hobbies I'm jealous of. I don't have the eye for it, but if I could do it, I would constantly.
what else is social about me?... hmm... i started learning to dance tango about half a year ago and really like it... i know some standard dances but tango is worlds better in my mind at this stage.
Man, I have been seriously thinking about learning swing dancing. Don't ask me why, because I have _no_ idea.
another thing: i like cooking and experimenting with food
Oh man, my last experiment with food was a mild success. It involved chopped sirloin, black beans, melted cheddar cheese, and mole sauce. I have no idea what I was going for... something mexican-ish. But it ended up like spicy cheese soup.
