This list will probably make no sense, and that is how it should be

Ingredients:

Bates College, for, well, whatever; Rumor Vroom, for being so damn thoughtful; Running Dog (Don Delillo) and Another Roadside Attraction (Tom Robbins), for disproving that you can’t judge a book by its cover (caution: links do not lead to said covers, but to other covers for th’ same books); Various movies, for instance: Starship Troopers, Dirty Pretty Things, and Boondock Saints; Brother Dog, Max; Underworld, the 800+ page book by Don Delillo that more than made up for intestinal troubles; The Borgata, but not in a generally positive way; Exotica and The Sweet Hereafter by Atom Egoyan; The Culture of Make Believe by Derrick Jensen; Kult, the incomprehensible yet delightful music group;
MI-5, particularly for the all-hell-breaks-loose episode (Episode 11 – I Spy Apocalypse)
