About Me

Iconoclast guru and busboy for hire...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Robert Anton Wilson. But now he's dead. So I'll have to wait. Or will I?

Music:

I like music. It sounds nice.

Movies:

Where to start on this one... I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to movies...I like a pretty wide variety of stuff. I heart huckabees, Garden State, Eternal Sunshine, Good Night and Good Luck, Little Miss Sunshine, Blood Diamond, always always always Episodes IV, V, VI...particularly Jedi. Fight Club, High Fidelity, City of God, Amelie, Donnie Darko, Memento, Requiem, I'm into foreign, sci fi, drama, docu/mocumentary. I like David Lynch, Scorsese, the Cohens, Hitchcock, Argento, Spike Jonze, Fincher, Errol Morris, Luhrmann, Almodovar, P.T. Anderson, Wes Anderson. You know. I'm into some cerebral stuff...but I have a soft spot for comedy (a la kevin smith) and the occasional blockbuster explosion filled mindless flick. I'm easy to please in this regard, providing I don't have to put up with too much cheese. Unless it's intentional cheese. Like ironic cheese. That I can stomach.

Television:

Television is intellectual pablum. Bah to television. Bah. But CSI is pretty good. And The Simpsons work on so many levels. I just can't stop watching LOST...Don't even get me started on The Family Guy. Colbert is great (minus truthiness), and Jon Stewart is my hetero lifemate...

Books:

Too many to list. Favourite authors include Tom Robbins (Fierce Invalids is numero uno), Chuck Palahniuk, Dave Eggers, Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Anton Wilson, Daniel Quinn...
