About Me

I am riding a brass lion.

What the hell are YOU riding?

My Interests

Pique-niques

Trying (and failing) to grow a beard.

Scratch tickets

the sink hole in the street outside.

"new and exciting"/"nostalgic" drives/walks.

big old ridiculous hair.

10 mile road.

I'd like to meet:

All of y'all.

Well. No. Scratch that. Some of y'all.

Music:

Masta Ace

Little Brother

Magnetic Fields

Broken Social Scene

MF DOOM

Binary Star

but actually I'm terrible at discovering new music so please, men and women with good taste (defined lord knows how) tell me what to like!

Movies:

Teen Wolf (doye...)

Homicide, it's got Joe Mantegna in it and it is awesome.

Pootie Tang

Sans Soleil

Some Like it Hot

His Girl Friday

North by Northwest

Eternal Sunshine

Field of Dreams

Television:

Nip/Tuck, Scrubs, Family Guy, Boston Legal.

Books:

"The world is full of abandoned meanings."

I'm going to start calling Don DeLillo Donny D like I'm his goombah "associate" what likes to crack skulls and go "down the shore".

I thought I'd like Fred Exley's "A Fan's Notes" but I lent it to Adman and never read it. But he liked it. So let's just say that I do too.

What else?

I like Margaret Atwood. I like Italo Calvino. Borges. The Corrections was pretty great.

But lately I've been reading inspirational novels and shit. And not ironically either. For real. The shit inspires the shit out of me.

Heroes:

Green Lantern.
