For Christmas this year I'm asking for piano lessons and a French class.
geez . lou . ise .
Scopolamine, retrosexuals, the elusive history of Cleveland, Ohio; knowing better, doing it anyway, dots (swiss and polka), escapism, cartwheels, trampolines, 5-7-5, science, double dutch, triple trutch, eerie coincidences, costumes, cameras, new friends, dead ends, going places, staying in, growing up, making out, business casual.
Please, if you'd like to be close to me, enjoy at least some of the following: adventures, wine (I don't prefer cabs); karaoke, crossword puzzles; exotic locales; baked goods; Bravo, Discovery, and the Food Network; dancing (I'm a real good waltzerin); science; movies; children; cats; being honest and direct; good old-fashioned chivalry.
Please do not partake in: breaking my windshield and/or my heart, borrowing money from me, hard drugs, prostitutes, judging me for watching reality TV sometimes.
I like anything you like, except Belle and Sebastian.
None ironically: Stomp the Yard (ask me about this film!), The Descent, They Came Back, Deep Sea 3-D, AirJAWS 2, The Day After Tomorrow, Lucky Three, Station Agent, The Bicycle Thief, Andromeda Strain, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Battle of Algiers, Annie Hall, Pride and Prejudice, King of Hearts, Hackers, The Subconcious Art of Graffiti Removal, Battle Royale, Cube, zombie movies, musicals, disaster movies, blah blah blah
Late at night in our house = CSI: Miami
david sedaris, richard dawkins, nick hornby, mark haddon, cloudy with a chance of meatballs, life of pi, wally lamb, The Omnivore's Dilemma, the jungle, good omens, brave new world, the phantom tollbooth, books about sex, experimental film, roald dahl, blah blah blah
Us, at our very best. We'll get there eventually.
