ScruffyRasputin

My name's Sssargon. I have a BA in Studio Art and am currently studying animation, and have a job giving horse-drawn carriage tours. I have a wonderful girlfriend and a brilliant dog. I like quirky, bizarre, or hilarious things, and just generally enjoy life...always try to have a good time. I'm a fan of mail, and of giving things to people, so swapbot works out pretty well for me.

Anything with a good beat, really, but I'm not a fan of most rap, and like even less country music. Other than that I have an eclectic taste. My current favourite songs are "Heart of the Ocean" by Gaelic Storm, "The Boys are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy, and "Ramble On" by Led Zeppelin. Led Zep is my favourite band, but I like a ton of others too, in a variety of genres. Mountain Goats are also good, as in Jonathan Coultan, Voltaire, David Bowie, They Might be Giants, etc etc etc I also really like lots of different international music. Seriously, anything with a good sound. Or interesting lyrics. Or both!

"The Name of the Wind" (and upcoming sequels) by Patric Rothfuss, The Gentleman Bastard series (starting with "The Lies of Locke Lamora") by Scott Lynch, The "Song of Ice and Fire" series by GRR Martin, "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky, "Candide" by Voltaire, "Don Quixote" by Cervantes, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, and "Lord of the Rings" by JRR Tolkien

Iron Man, Darjeeling Limited, Lord of the Rings, Braveheart, The National Treasure movies, Star Wars, Emperor's New Groove, etc I'll watch just about anything that's interesting, even if it's crazy or terrible. I'm also a big fan of the horrible old horror flicks that Christopher Lee is in.

Robin Hood (BBC), Lost, House, Crusoe, Psych, Cheers, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Mythbusters, Law and Order (Original and SVU), Star Trek, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Futurama, Family Guy, Avatar: Last Airbender, and Tudors. Favourite animes include Kyou Kara Maou, Detective Academy Q, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Monster, Yakitate Japan, GTO, Full Metal Panic, and Evangelion.
