About Me

Food is best enjoyed to excess. Disneyland is the answer to all life's problems. Mr Big had nothing on Steve. Bjork hasn't made a good album in years. Porn is all good and fine, until you spend a night working in a porn shop (which I have). Why have one good job, when three shitty ones are available? Everyone should travel more. Nintendo produces the best gaming platforms, period. On a nice day, San Francisco is the best city in the world. Gillette makes the best razor. Opinions are awesome.

My Interests

I suppose I'm best known (mocked?) for my interest in Disneyland. Aside from that, I enjoy reading, going to movies, making movies go to me, drinking in excess and spending time with the friends of the world.

I'd like to meet:

I'd adore the chance to meet Walt Disney and pick his brain for awhile. Guess I'm out of luck there. I'm content.

Music:

I really adore Eartha Kitt and Dolly Parton. They've gotten me though some rough times. I'm also quite fond of the Scissor Sisters, Incubus, Jill Sobule, Nikka Costa, the Strokes, Simple Kid, Tina Turner, Steven Sondheim, the Decemberists, the Gorillaz, Bjork (though not her shitty heavy breathing album), the Sons and Daughters and Sondre Lerche...to name a few. Paul says I "don't like indie music". I say I don't like Paul.

Movies:

My top Five, in no particular order, is as follows......Sunset Blvd, Ghostbusters, Aliens, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Television:

As Far as shows that are still alive and well, I'd have to go with Pushing Daisies, LOST and Battlestar Galactica.

Books:

the Unholy Trinity of David Sedaris (Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family..), Life of Pi, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Angels in America

Heroes:

Walt Disney and Dolly PartonI edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
