Judexs' profile

Electric chair reupholstering, I do 1890 Widows and Veterans Census transcribing for fun (USGenWeb.Org), I might get off my Reagan Democrat behind and go do some politicking, since this election is going to be great....

St Judes Childrens Hospital (My namesake, the patron saint of lost cause and desperation), Army Emergency Relief

Seriously, do you have a couple of days? Right now in my car it's Yo La Tengo, Smiths, Neil Young, Bowie, REM pre 1988, Frank Sinatra Reprise years, Aerosmith on drugs, Cream, and Pretenders.

Spongebob. Any narrative true crime show. I just can't deal with make believe stuff anymore, Leave it to Beaver, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Underdog. NFL Network any time.

The Godfather(s). No, not Part 3. Gone With the Wind, Elmer Gantry, From Here to Eternity, All About Eve...Not too much made after 1974, other than Woody Allen stuff.

Gone With the Wind, hands down. However, I have read and continue to read any history of the Civil War, Russian Revolution, the Rise of Nazi Germany, World War One, Edwardian Society, any Kennedy biographies (I'm Boston Irish, can't help that)

Tabang San, Uijongbu, Korea. Rudesheim, Germany. Strassbourg and Paris. Gillette Stadium and Fenway before it became overgentrified. The inside of any track vehicle or rotary wing aircraft. The beach when the tourists are gone. Random brewpubs.
