Matt

Are you hoping for a contact?

About Me

Bad handwriting. Bad Person.

My Interests

ROBOTRIPPING! And turtles, I guess.

I'd like to meet:

dactylometra pacifica

Music:

Ear poison.

Movies:

Rushmore, then the rest... In The Mood For Love, Bright Future, The Warriors, Twin Falls Idaho, Devil's Backbone, Blue Velvet, Oldboy, Last Life In The Universe, Akira, Ikiru, Stray Dog, Straw Dogs, Man Bites Dog, la Haine, Chung King Express, The 400 Blows, Gladiator, Stranger Than Paradise, Bubba Ho-Tep, El Topo, Breathless, any Western, Sweet and Low Down (the last 15min, in particular)... many more than I care to admit.

Television:

The Adventures of Pete & Pete is pretty good. So is Twin Peaks. And of course, there's Leave it to Beaver, Travel Sick, Freaks and Geeks, Millennium, and Arrested Development. All my favorite shows get cancelled.

Books:

I find the "For Dummies" series of publications to be particularly enlightening.

Heroes:

Rod Serling, Alexis Argüello.

"There! That one's open. Pull in here."At 2am, we pull up to a soggy and dilapidated Long Beach taco shop in a car worth far more than it should be. Worth more than any car should be. Worth more than ...
