The movie never ends it goes on and on and on and on...

About Me

Just a working stiff, drifting through life, making candy in a factory downtown... No, sorry. That's not me. I'm a "screewriter" or "independent (as in doesn't get paid to do it) film maker." I also work at a "television station" and am "married" to Kate.So yeah. I write. I make goofy commercials (some of them are even watchable!). I collect movie posters and obsess about films and movies.I like travelling. I like making films. I like cooking and jogging and kickboxing and I do all these things with my wife, Kate.I like making lists and reading lists (though not "To-do" lists, as they give me a headache and my eyes glaze over and I don't do what they tell me to anyway). Top twenty-fives, mostly. Top 25 actresses on my to-do list. Top 25 films. Top 25 TV shows. Best of's, worst of's, you know how it goes.Check this scary factoid out: My birthday is September 11 and my wife's name is Katrina - We're an American tragedy!a href="http://shes-crafty.net/quizzes/quizzes.html"

My Interests

Movies, film making, screenwriting, photography, traveling, wine tasting, hiking, swimming, impersonating people (authority figures, mostly), photography, fashion, cooking, mall walking, acting like a tough guy then bursting into tears when confronted, connecting with people, drawing, endlessly quoting things to the point I have no original sentences - my conversations (at least on my end) are carefully constructed movie and television quotes put together in some semblance of real dialogue. For example, when my brother Ian asks me how my trip to the dentist was, I reply "He slimed me." This ends up becoming a sexual harrasment lawsuit against my dentist at my brother's insistance (and I better listen to him - he's an architect).

I'd like to meet:

People, mostly. Not to say I'm opposed to animals - especially Bigfoot. Chupacabra. Yeti. Wookies. Any sort of anthropomorphic enitity - as long as they're progressively minded.

Music:

Big fan of music from 1997 - yes, 1997. I like anything really - old gangsta rap, Blur, Wilco, Journey (of course!), Duran Duran, The Killers (jumping on the bandwagon? So sue me), Ryan Adam, Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright, The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, Joy Division, New Order. Can't go wrong with 80's music and classics like Bowie, The 'Stones or The Who. DeKalb recently introduced Kate and me to The Diddy Bops, a groovin' band we saw in concert. Anything but country. I know, I'm close-mided and biased, but unless it's a jug band, please, no country.

Television:

Anyone who hasn't seen ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is only hurting themselves. Anyone who has seen it and didn't like it is hurting the planet and should be stopped before their un-talent pollutes the genepool.
