Right now: I'm mostly interested in Barack Obama being our next President.
People who think that 8 hours is a fairly insignificant drive time if there is an interesting example of 1950s programmatic architecture at the end of it. People who have never (and would never) use the word 'party' as a verb. People who can't sing but love karaoke. People who can suggest vegan restaurants in the Los Angeles area that I don't already frequent. People who exhibit a healthy (or, better yet: flagrantly unhealthy) appreciation for Harry Dean Stanton. People who think that Paradise Hotel was an important sociological experiment, use their grocery money to see movies, and don't mistake kindness for naivete. Classy broads. Underdogs. Natural born world shakers (or at least people who understand the reference).
I am fairly obsessed with Kris Kristofferson right now. Also: The Boomtown Rats, Adam Ant, The Psychedelic Furs, Clarence Carter, Tubeway Army, Serge Gainsbourg, Billy Bragg, Journey, The Smiths, Elvis Presley, Peter Murphy, Kenny Rogers, OMD, Pulp, Alphaville, Jawbreaker, and Peggy Lee.
Almost anything by: John Cassavetes, Mike Nichols, Preston Sturges, Hal Ashby, Jean-Luc Godard, John Huston, Wim Wenders, Stanley Kramer, Frank Capra, George Stevens, Samuel Fuller. Almost anything starring: Elvis Presley, Anna Karina, Harry Dean Stanton, Warren Oates, Humphrey Bogart, Greta Garbo, Sidney Poitier, Eli Wallach, Stellan Skarsgard, or Ben Gazzara.
Anything by: Alexander King, William Faulkner, Dorothy Parker, John Steinbeck, Flannery O'Connor, Carson McCullers, Mikhail Bulgakov, or Edith Wharton. (Guilty pleasures: Jacqueline Susann and Charles Bukowski)
