I'd like to meet:
For someone who's used to keeping to himself, I have a way of getting around, and I tend to attract conversation (both welcomed and non-) from a variety of people. Basically, if you can decipher my dry sense of humor and not take it personally when I'm not being talkative, then we'd get along quite well.
Music:
Artists/Genres: Mr. Bungle, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Faith No More, Radiohead, The Doors, The Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Seatbelts, The Pillows (FLCL!), Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Beastie Boys, AiC, Soundgarden, STP, Spit, The Cure, Led Zeppelin, A Tribe Called Quest, Violent Femmes, RatM, White Zombie, Interpol, Elastica, Butthole Surfers, L7, Babes in Toyland, Digital Underground, etc. This list is not even close to being comprehensive, as I've got a couple hundred different albums around. There are a lot of honorable mentions.
I've finally started revisiting the old tub 'o cassettes, and I'm gradually adding things that I recall playing the hell out of. *
Next band gigs: [See Calendar ---]
*Also, feel free to insert whatever indie band you prefer right here _______. I assure you I'm cool enough to like it if I hear it, but I really don't feel like doing the research. You're only going to skim this, anyway.
**Henceforth, all tracks shall be played only once for the benefit of your sanity. One to grow on: There are other numbers than "infinite." There's gotta be at least like 67 of them.
Movies:
Donnie Darko, Super Troopers, Blue Velvet, A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, Memento, The Matrix Trilogy (surprise!!), Cube (0-2), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Way of the Gun, dark comedies, psychothrillers, grifting capers, Everything that's marginally related to Ben Stiller, the Kevin Smith series and Tarantino, and pretty much everything else. My taste in movies is not what you might call discriminating. My friends that have known me long enough consider it a challenge to find movies that I plainly dislike.
I have become so consumed by my mission to watch as much as humanly possible that I hand-coded the following and keep it updated:
Most recently watched (for the first time) :
Privately viewed:
Bridge to Terabithia
Before that:
In a theater:
DOA: Dead or Alive

Television:
Wow, this list is out-of-date. I should sort through it some time.
Nip/Tuck, Veronica Mars, Bones, The Office, The Venture Brothers, Adult Swim, The Dead Zone, SNL, Reno 911, FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, Lexx, Alias, 24, The Pretender, Farscape, Outlaw Star, Megas XLR, every animated DC/Marvel adaptation from the last 15 years or so, and too many other things to admit
For those of you who like hidden camera/prank stuff, the absolute best is Trigger Happy TV, closely followed by Oblivious.
