Xyphur's Favorite Things
| Interests: |
Cars, Racing, Mechanics, Computers, Electronics, Music, blah, blah, etc. |
| Music: |
Mainly rock of varying strengths. Have been known to indulge in classical as well. Basically, anything that doesn't make my ears wanna run & hide. Absolutely no hip-hop, pop, or any other type of manufactured synthetic garbage 'music'. I'm especially liking Opeth right now. |
| Books & Authors: |
Stephen King, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, Whitley Strieber |
| TV Shows: |
Chuck, Terminator, American Dad, Family Guy, Top Gear, Pinks, CSI (all of them are equally good), usually anything on Discovery TLC or National Geographic (in HD also - programming usually differs) |
| Place: |
Cayuga Dragway (Toronto Motorsports Park) |
| Possession: |
Myself :P |
