Electric cars, 40's and 50's culture, swing dancing, live music, going to the orchestra, honky tonks, vintage clothing, art museums, flea markets and auctions, photography, road trips, roller blading, real estate, fine wine (and other adult beverages), almost anything with wings, jackalopes, FSM, zefrank, cartoons and the pure element of surprise.
I'd like to meet:
I'm here to meet new friends and to stay in touch with my current friends. I don't want any myspace boyfriends or stalkers, thank you very much. So... People. Yeah. I'd like to meet people. Different-- in a good way-- kind of people. Especially people in the West LA/Culver City area. People who have the same musical tastes as me so I have people to go see shows with. People who will go to Duke's Hideaway and swill Jameson with me or go to Backstage and do karaoke.
I'd also like to meet The Flying Spaghetti Monster because I heard he really does exist.

Ok, I confess-- I broke down and got cable. At least I don't have to fuss with the rabbit ears. I'm a Family Guy addict. Other than that-- thank goodness for DVD rentals.
Books:
Please give me some book suggestions. I really want someone to lend me Still Life With Woodpecker, Fast Food Nation, oh, or one of them Suze Orman books that tells me to stop doing stupid shit with my money. Usually like to read John Steinbeck, Charles Bukowski, Tom Robbins and the Canon 30D and 1Ds Users Guides.
