My mind is mostly revolving around academics, life, or these things (no particular order):
- soccer (playing and watching; a fan of FC Bayern Munich: here)
- birding (novice – my eBird profile here or here)
- swimming (started at the age of 6)
- jogging/running (preferably outdoor; aiming for a half marathon)
- golf (a VERY beginner)
- talk show by Conan O’Brien (from Late Night through Tonight Show to Conan: here)
- Rocky (my favorite is Rocky II)
- Star Wars (I mean who doesn’t?: here)
- DC comics (Flash, obviously: here)
- Japanese comics (my recent favorite is Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue)
- Novels (digging famous ones)
- Movies (Josh Radnor, Robin Williams, Steve Carell)
- American TV shows (e.g., Silicon Valley: s2e10 “Two Days of the Condor”; Flash: s2e21 “The Runaway Dinosaur”; Supergirl: s1e2 “Stronger Together”)
- Japanese TV shows (too many to list, but Toshiaki Karasawa is definitely my favorite, especially in Great White Tower)
- The Beach Boys (album Pet Sounds)
- Shogo Hamada (album Edge of the Knife: here)
- Tatsuro Yamashita (album Big Wave or Moonglow: here) – I’m sure there are other things to be added, but I think I made my point.
