Read, meditate, paint, draw, play games.

Radio3.cbc.ca They have great variety, and its all modern Canadian music.
3) What movie did you enjoy recently?
The Dark Knight, yes I finally saw it!! It was AWESOME!
4) Who makes you laugh?
Hmm... well lately toast makes me laugh. :p My dog is silly and makes me laugh, random conversation with friends, ironic things in life.
5) Where do you go/ do to recharge?
I go home, I take a nap, and meditate. I picked up a copy of the Dhammapada today, I am finding it very relaxing.

What kind of games? And oh, you’re in for a treat with the Dhammapada.
(Also, your title just made me laugh. buck buck!)
My favorites are Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon right now (nice nonviolent games :P)
Also I’m sure I will enjoy the Dhammapada very much, its translated by Gil Fronsdal, he did so very poetically. :) It’s just lovely!
Oh my goodness! Really? Small world. I used to go to Gil’s dharma talks in Redwood City when I lived in California. (I think I’m on this one… he asks for comments. :)
Is he a friend of yours then? Chapters had his book available three ways: paperback, hardcopy (what I bought) and paperback with 2 audio cds. Shambala seems to really like his translation to print it that many ways, I know I am enjoying it so far.
A friend? Oh, goodness no… more like a hero of mine. :) But yes, he’s got a beautiful way with words. You made a good choice.
Glad to hear you found something to listen to up in Canada. I always have a hard time finding anything to listen to when I go up there. I recently just saw the Dark Knight.Moved straight up to number 1 for me. What was your fav part of the movie?
Ok it was harsh and incredibly violent, but remember Joker’s “trick” to make the pencil disappear? That one instance, you can’t help but really get the complete twisted nature of the character, it churned my stomach but worked for me.
