Makes me feel like I could live forever if I try hard enough.<br /><br />Music: Ice, Ice Baby- maybe I too could live out my fantasy as a crappy rapper someday too...<br /><br />Film: Office Space- hands down the best movie to come home to after a hard day of beating my head against the wall at the office. I also have multiple bosses so it hits home for me. Through in the novelty rap and it soars!<br /><br />Performer: I'm going with Johnny Depp. His early roles were much meatier for lack of a better word, but anyone who can do Keith Richards as a pirate is icing on the cake.<br /><br />Art: If by art you mean something good, I have no idea. If you mean cheap wall hangings purchased from small vendors- I'm your girl. Although I have no idea what their names are now.<br /><br />Punch Line: pretty much any lame joke from Zoolander. It's embarassing, but it's so damn funny to me!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654151251211901386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-32901682260687034142007-01-11T14:37:00.000-05:002007-01-11T14:37:00.000-05:00I'm pitching in to add a new voice to the mix.

Awesome soundtrack...Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta!<br /><br />As for music, I'd have to say any there are many, many songs that have changed the way I listen to music. When I was young and surrounded by metal hairbands and lame classic rock stations, Sgt. Pepper first came out on CD. That really broadened my horizons. Next, a few years down the line, a friend at college loaned me <em>Surfer Rosa</em> by the Pixies...what a revelation! the first time I heard Beck, Morphine, PJ Harvey, the Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Jane's Addiction, Henry Rollins...ack, I could go on.<br /><br />As for art, I don't know much, but I know what I hate, and I don't hate "Map".Isaac Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402890244648619420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-62908723153057795462007-01-10T08:37:00.000-05:002007-01-10T08:37:00.000-05:00American Movie is one of the worst three films I'v...<i>American Movie is one of the worst three films I've ever seen.</i><br /><br />Have to believe if you see <i>Coven</i>, pronounced "Coh-ven," or "Northwestern," you'd drop <i>American Movie</i> to worse 5.<br /><br />SD, have you seen either of Borshard's masterpieces?

Name a piece of music that changed the way you listen to music: <br /><br />Paul's Boutique - Beastie Boys. It was the first time I had ... umm. It music was forever different.<br /><br />3. Name a film you can watch again and again without fatigue: <br /><br />American Movie. It is so very classic American and yet motivating to me for avoiding becoming the lead character.<br /><br />4. Name a performer for whom you suspend of all disbelief: <br /><br />Chris Angel - MINDFREAK!!!!! That dude is krazay!<br /><br />5. Name a work of art you'd like to live with: <br /><br />One of Van Gogh's early Oriental works. The combination of that unique style and those Eastern themes is an amazing combination. <br /><br />6. Name a work of fiction which has penetrated your real life: <br /><br />Karma Sutra. It can't be true; but I seem to think about it.<br /><br />7. Name a punch line that always makes you laugh: <br /><br />A: "You fuck her."<br />Q: How do you get a nun pregnant?Studiodavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16784469805972410740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-9770644394454496632007-01-09T21:41:00.000-05:002007-01-09T21:41:00.000-05:00By the way, speaking of Hoffman playing . . .
