some times i eat, sometimes i drink, sometimes i smoke, sometimes i masturbate, sometimes i have sex, often i sleep. i like bikes and banjos and tall buildings and taxidermy and ducks and parmesan cheese and singing in the car and driving to random places all whim-like and puns and clever word games and crosswords and reading and learning and progressing as a person and lying in bed all day with someone i love and going to Lake Tahoe and playing craps and coloring books and people with interesting noses and thick eyebrows and going on at least 2 vacations a year and cute sneakers and old t shirts that are super soft and striped socks and pop art and russian art and making out in scandalous places and recycling paper and communes and waiting tables and catherine keener and katherine hepburn and my brother. I don't like manipulative people, immature people or manipulative, immature corporations. i also seem to be very against career politicians, or politicians in general. though i am sort of obsessed with the clintons
radical and/or queer librarians, bitchy bottoms, polite tops, and dirty talkers. people with craftmatic adjustable beds and/or chairs. cute girls with sexy bicycles. train hoppers and mail fraud-ers, or other peeps who like to break the law in harmless ways. neurologists, linguists, dog lovers, and baseball fans who want to explore the fact that baseball is poetry and actually a metaphor for life. people who like to tell a good story and drink a beer, and anybody who is struggling to be a good, strong and interesting human being. oh, and joe mauer.
um, everything... sort of: snoop dogg, iron and wine, the music machine, the misfits, curtis mayfield, old school rap (le trimm and JJ Fadd 4-evah), mom rock, dolly parton, bluegrass, joy division, belle & sebastian, the magnetic fields, the smiths, this one song by bobby caldwell that BJ got me obsessed with, t rex, brian eno and early david bowie, some tupac songs, the buzzcocks, michael jackson, the talking heads, cat power, rufus wainwright, neutral milk hotel, e.l.o. and styx, the organ, joanna newsom, giant value, and freakwater. i don't like smooth jazz, raffi or enya. or most electronica. and i hate korn.
wes anderson's movies, most coen brothers, cabaret, they shoot horses dont they, mulholland drive, christopher guest movies, muriel's wedding, eternal sunshine of a spotless mind, being john malkovich, your friends and neighbors, welcome to the dollhouse, napoleon dynamite, fiddler on the roof, the color purple, cold comfort farm, mystery science theater 3000 the movie, werner herzog's documentaries, return of the living dead, heavenly creatures, and Little Darlings, with the 2 hottest 70's tomboys ever. Sigh.
buffy, the kids in the hall, the simpsons, the twilight zone, twin peaks, both versions of the office, six feet under, freaks and geeks, it's always sunny in philadelphia, that episode of Flavor of Love when the girl poops on the floor cuz that was totally fucking amazing; basically i like a total spectacle, or something that will rock me
'everything is illuminated' by jonathan safran foer; 'fall on your knees' by ann-marie macdonald, 'atlas shrugged' by ayn rand (i know i know, it's fucking good though); john steinbeck's 'grapes of wrath' and 'east of eden'; 'oranges are not the only fruit' by jeanette winterson; 'the people of paper' by salvador plascencia; 'to kill a mockingbird' by harper lee (i want scout to be my child); utopian/ dystopian novels; gabriel garcia marquez; vladimir nabokov; 'nausea' by jean paul sartre; 'you shall know our velocity' by dave eggers; 'prodigal summer' and 'the poisonwood bible' by barbra kingsolver; everything i've read so far by robert anton wilson, but especially 'prometheus rising'; 'fingersmith' by sarah waters; 'never let me go' by Kazuo Ishiguro is haunting me still; and crazy conspiracy books about aliens and the reptilian overlords who are controlling our world and our minds
anyone who finds truth in this statement: "you are lost if you forget that the land belongs to no one and its fruits to all" Jean Jacques Rosseau. also, robert anton wilson, and bette midler is the wind beneath my wings.
