Football, cooking (mostly Italian, but more recently a stack of Turkish and N. African stuff: lamb + cumin = paradise), reading (fantasy mostly, but I'm a lit grad so poetry - especially Ted Hughes - too), writing (my job, until recently, was freelancing textbook material), drawing, Japanese culture in general (pop, social, sporting and historical - I follow sumo - baseball not so much), ancient history (my second major - esp. Rome and Egypt) and medieval English history - I was born in the UK and much of my childhood was spent traipsing around and learning about castles.
