What are you listening to and on what?
01. What types of portable audio devices do you use? I have an iPod 80Gig Classic Generation 7 Black.
02. What format of music do you listen to most often? MP3s
03. How do you get your electronic music files? (pay service [i.e Napster, iTunes, eMusic, etc.], file sharing, artist/label web sites, etc.) You have to pay to play I go with iTunes and ripping my own CD collection (around 600 strong).
04. What type of headphones do you use? Black and Gold Skullcandy Lowriders: 40mm power driver in a super small lowrider chassis. With smooth styling, 90-degree swivel DJ-style speakers, and a unique fold-up headband for ultra portability. About $35 at your friendly Target I hate that earbud crap! All ears are not created equal. I got my eye on some of those earphones they make custom for you. You make a mold of your inner ear and they make the earbuds based on your molding. Runs about $200.
05. What is currently on your portable music player that you are using? (Post artist, album title, please.) Artist: Jerry Lee 'The Killer' Lewis Song: Breathless Album: The Hits: Jerry Lee Lewis.
Read about that somewhere...
1. Do you read for recreation? Books, Magazines, WebPages.
2. What sorts of things do you read? Fiction? Nonfiction? What category or genre? Long pieces? Short? Books? Magazines? Web pages? Fiction and news. All of the above.
3. Does your mood (day-to-day), circumstance (week-to-week or month-to-month) or lifestyle (year-to-year) influence the reading choices you make? I would say so. I have been reading Rolling Stone magazine since high school. I used to avoid the national affairs section for the most part but now I go cover to cover. I have been reading Martha Stewart Living for about 5 years now. I have been reading Chuck Palahniuk since they made 'Fight Club' into a movie. I have been reading Christopher Moore since I picked up 'The Island of the Sequined Love Nun' in a Hastings in Fayetteville pre 2000. I stumbled onto Harry Potter while I was working as a janitor at an elementary school. I read the first four books back to back. I literally set down book two and picked up book three on a Saturday afternoon. Over the last two years I have been doing much reading online. 'PVP Online', 'Fark.com', and 'Suicidegirls.com'.
4. What function does reading hold for you? Escape? Learning? Companionship? Imaginative voyage? Other? Escape. It is always about escape. Be it a book, ,magazine, movie, music, it is always about escape.
5. What, if anything, that you've read in the last year or so stands out as particularly excellent reading? I really liked the Deathly Hallows. Kind of bitter sweet. I also really like Brad Warner's column for suicidegirls.com; 'Hardcore Zen'.
