In essence, I can't watch TV...
I'd split my time between where I live now (beach, gold coast, California) and international travel. I especially love Japan, Germany, UK (want to got to my namesake in England), and Northern Europe. I would love to go to New Zealand. Ideally I would travel with my dog and a guitar. It is odd. As anti-social as I am, I love big cities.
I've been to a lot of other countries some of which I don't want to revisit.
I collect and use fountain pens daily. I have about 20. They range from cheap steel nibbed Esterbrooks to a lacquered Namiki. My all time favorite is my Grandfather's Sheaffer lever fill that he got for his High School graduation. It is a little delicate though. He used it all his life. My daily favorite is either an Omas or a ivory colored Waterman. I like a pen with a bit of weight and reasonable girth (appropriate for a site such as this). I prefer medium to broad nibs as I like the expressive line you can generate. I don't have neither a Mont Blanc nor a Parker. Odd isn't it?
I prefer Japanese inks (Pilot Iroshizuku or similar). Admittedly, I have never used the opalescent inks.
If you are ever in Tokyo, you want to go to Itoya! Pen porn! Seattle pen is also very cool.
The only thing I would add to Liz's excellent commentary is that an ultra sonic cleaner is good for annual (or beyond) deep cleans. I typically only have one pen full of ink at a time. Sometimes I switch; sometimes I refill. I could use a single pen for 6 months depending upon my mood.
Coffee (accept no substitutes!)
Smoked tri tip, rice pilaf and fresh green beans. A slice of red velvet cake to share.
Accidents will Happen - Elvis Costello (I feel the randomness of the damage we inadvertently do to others. And from others, to us)
I Won't Stand in Your way - Stray Cats (late night mourning)
Its Alright - Social Distortion version of Dylan's song (I'll get along very nicely, thank you. "...a light I've never known")
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac (anger well channeled)
Love in Vain - Robert Johnson (watching her leave...)
Fatty tuna makes good sushi
Mercilessly, a slick tongue teased

I find good body art very alluring. Unfortunately, there is a lot of bad work out there.

Coffee! Good, very strong, fresh drip or press coffee. if ordering out, a short double macchiato.
