Quick: What was the last...

Movie: Hellboy (again and again, can't wait for Toro's "Domu")

Book: Hmmm, I read seven or eight books at once and tend to finish them pretty close so here goes:

Just finished at 8am this morning before bed - The Triumphant (bolos, part 3) created by Keith Laumer, stories by David Weber and Linda Evans. (wonderful series, most of the stories in the entire Bolos line leaves me with a tear before the end).

just finished yesterday around 2pm before went to work - A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell k Hamilton (Great stuff, if a bit fluffy)

still reading - Sunglasses after Dark by Nancy Collins.

still reading - Area 51 Legend (not that great, but it's not terrible)

Music: Don't listne to albums but lately really been into John Spencer Blues Explosion and Gretchin Wilson.

Don't listen to whole albums much anymore; lots of mixed CDs in my car with an eclectic mix of pop, rap/hip hop, Enya, rock-n-roll, etc.
Eric, you're the only dude on Earth who listens to NWA and Enya. There's something either fundamentally wrong or completely brilliant about that.

My coworkers always look at my launchcast strangely, because I have stuff like Cradle of Filth, Garth Brooks, Bob Dylan, Mozart and Jars of Clay playing back to back.
 


Let's see, I just watched Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels yesterday or the day before.

I believe the last book I read was, ahh, what's it called...I think it's just Merlin, the follow up book to The Once and Future King.

As for album, I'm currently listening to disc two of 69 Love Songs by the Magnetic Fields. Yet again. Just before that I'd been listening to a bit of Richard Cheese.
 

I just saw I, Robot (Good action/mystery), The Village (Good, but the ending was a tad telegraphed), and Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle (Dear Lord forgive me for seeing this movie.).

It took me a few hours, but I read Wizard's First Rule pretty much front-to-back. It was good.

I bought and listened to Metallica's Load and Metallica, AKA the Black Album.

I like Enya.
 

Last watched Invader Zim vol. 1, read Wheel of Time: Crossroads of Twilight, listened to Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells 2003 (re-recording of the classic). That's just the last full album I put in the stereo, though.. generally I just play my 2800 song playlist on shuffle. ;)

And FWIW, there's some Enya and some Metallica on there. ;)

The last movie I saw was Abandon Ship on A&E last night. The last one in theaters was LOTR3, and several different ones in DVD form- Forbidden Planet, Jason & the Argonauts, and others.

The last book I read was I, Robot, which makes me not want to see the movie. Currently alternating between reading a collection of Robert Howard's Solomon Kane stories and the Kalevala, and looking forward to reading the books that followed the trilogy of Earthsea books by Ursula K. LeGuin as well as Kristine Katheryn Rusch's 3rd book in the Retrieval Artist series.

The music question is more complex. I'm listening to a bunch of stuff on shuffle play in my car- The newest from Satriani, Charlie Hunter, Anthrax, Los Lobos, and The Crystal Method, along with an early Mahavishnu John McLaughlin disc. My portable is loaded with Nas. (Few of my friends or family like rap.) The CD changer in my den has Kodo, California Guitar Trio, Days of the New, Andreas Wollenwieder, Brand New Heavies, Soundgarden, and Black Light Symphony. The one in my bedroom has Audioslave, a CD of Japanese flute music, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Jaco Pastorius, Primus, and Busta Rhymes. The DVD player in my room has the latest from Queens of the Stone Age, while the one in my den has a concert from Led Zeppelin.

And if you think Enya & NWA is wierd, count me in as a wierdo. I'm a music junkie with more than 3500 CDs covering all the genres of music. (I also have stacks of LPs and casettes.)
 

1. Movie you saw?
Independance Day (just watched it on video)

2. Book you read?
Any book? Or just novels? Oh well, for RPG books it is Creatures of Freeport (still reading). For fiction it is Swords Against Death by Fritz Leiber (still reading). I'm also very close to finishing Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb. Plus, I'm studying a book called A History of the Vikings by Gwyn Jones.

The last book I finished was Swords and Deviltry by by Leiber.

3. Album you listened to?
Umm, Bon Jovi: One Wild Night is playing on the DVD player right now. Does that count? :p

Cheers!

Eric, I see you have great taste in music. Enya is the coolest female singer since, well I don't know - she's really great. - KF72

I'm sure it's brilliance. ;)

I don't listen to NWA but I do like Everlast. Of course, I also listen to Avril Lavigne, KISS, Fefe Dobson, Nickelback, Staind, The Cult, Good Charlotte, and Santana.

See, not so strange.

And dang, how could I forget Metallica. Hmm, probably becuase I haven't listened to any of their stuff lately.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY, I TELL YOU!

Wow, Enya's got a lot of fans on EN World. I'm not surprised though. Her music just speaks to you. Would be good background music for an Elven City encounter/campaign.
