Gettin’ my Sei Shonagon on on a Sunday night
- The drumming of Tutty Moreno, any record, any time
- Brandon Roy with 0.8 seconds on the clock
- Irene Jacob’s profile in Trois Couleurs: Rouge (yeah Leee)
- The way March rain washes away February snow
- The Nicholas Brothers’ classic dance routine in “Stormy Weather,” Fred Astaire’s favorite movie dance number ever (yeah Liza #1)
- Ben Shahn, “The Red Stairway”, which has haunted me ever since I saw it in my reading book in 6th grade
- (The Hugo Award-winning short story) “Eurema’s Dam” by (the gleefully insane science fiction writer) R.A. Lafferty
- Kurt Russell as Jack Burton in “Big Trouble in Little China”
- The three-album run of Giant Steps to Wake Up to C’mon Kids
- Edgar Degas’ La Petit Danseuse de Quatorze Ans
- Mikhail Baryshnikov dancing “The Prodigal Son” (yeah Liza #2)
- Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India. All of it. Witness.
- The end of Donald Barthelme’s “Rebecca”: “The story ends. It was written for several reasons. Nine of them are secrets. The tenth is that one should never cease considering human love. Which remains as grisly and as golden as ever, no matter what is tattooed on the warm tympanic page.”
- The taste of fresh mesir wat wrapped up in warm injera at the Ghion Hotel restaurant in Addis Ababa
- Late at night Erykah Badu starts playing Twitter DJ, and all the stuff is excellent soul music and jazz and r&b and you’re sitting there and it’s like Damn what kind of excellent new world is this gonna be. (Alternate choice: this video.)
- “Dazed and Confused”: Pink, Wooderson & Mitch walk into the Emporium & Linklater slows it down a half beat w/ “Hurricane” on the soundtrack (yeah Anne-Marie)
