Stavro Arrgolus's Interests
|
|
General |
Sitting down, editing this site, 'puttering around', ignoring labor intensive house repairs, napping in recliners, not dying (old guy stuff) |
|
Music |
Dementia (duh!) |
|
Movies |
Don't watch many of those any more (on TV) as new ones tend to suck a great deal. Haven't been to a theater since 1984. Not a fan of the 'movie experience'. That's why Satan created 'cable'.
|
|
Television |
Discovery, History & Science channels, news etc. (more old guy stuff) British comedy- Monty Python, of course. The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Alexei Sayle's 'Stuff'. Network TV has sucked for years. Don't bother with it anymore.
Rather fond of video games, though. Console & PC- sims, strategy, RPGs |
|
Books |
Douglas Adams' 'Hitchhikers Guide' and 'Dirk Gently' series, How to Fillet a Panda, Fill Your Life With Croutons, Controlling Fear Without Getting Frightened, What to Wear on the Toilet, How to Kill a Rat With an Oboe, The Intravenous Cookbook, The Stains in Your Shorts Control Your Future |
|
Heroes |
"To say that there is a case for heroes is not to say that there is a case for hero worship. The surrender of decision, the unquestioning submission to leadership, the prostration of the average man before the Great Man -- these are the diseases of heroism, and they are fatal to human dignity. History amply shows that it is possible to have heroes without turning them into gods. And history shows, too, that when a society, in flight from hero worship, decides to do without great men at all, it gets into troubles of its own." -Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. |
