About Me

I like to read, write, eat out, exercise, and travel. And go to the movies when I need a few mindless hours away--or want to engage crucially with the developing world via indie films annointed by Cannes. Later, at a cafe, I can be seen savoring a pinot grigio in my left hand while delicately sipping an espresso with my right, thus affecting both European exotica and my American ADD. If you listen closely, you can hear me misquoting Camus and laughing indulgently at my own jokes. When the check is laid down I am often overheard to say, "Pity, I seem to have misplaced my billfold."

My Interests

Traveling to faraway lands and pretending that I'm shocked they don't speak English, and then acting really indignant about it.

I'd like to meet:

Gore Vidal, Noam Chomsky, Jessica Alba. And since that would be such a wierd dinner, I think I'll just opt for Jessica Alba.

Music:


Movies:

Movies by Wong Kar Wai, Michael Mann, Spielberg, Tran Anh Hung. Movies with Shu Qi, Tony Leung, Brad Pitt, Daniel Auteil, Emmanuelle Beart, Tom Cruise.

Television:

House, Nip/Tuck, European soccer.

Books:

Reading a book by Saul Bellow, who is very good at describing American culture. Also a book on Neoliberalism, which was sadder than Hamlet. And Robert Fisk's book on the Middle East--those people really are crazy! Just kidding, of course.

Heroes:

Chronologically, Scooby Doo, Ultraman, Dr. J, Jesus, Magic Johnson, Bono, Kurt Vonnegut, Frank Sinatra, Buddha, Michael Jordan and, currently, Steve Nash.

Terrorist whores causing trouble again.

The latest word on Zizu's mystery head butt during the World Cup Final is that Materazzi, the falsely incredulous victim, called Zidane the "son of a terrorist whore." You've got to hand it to Materaz...

Hateblog

I hate people that come into a coffee house and act like they own it. They talk loud, as though everyone wants to listen to their cliched drivel. They are dressed either extremely hip (like ...

The New World

I saw The New World last weekend. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but here are some thoughts. It was directed by Terrence Mallick and it tries hard to be an art epic, a lot like the film Medea...
