About Me


You are now marked on my profile visitor map!

My Interests

hiking, camping, kayaking, sleeping, reading, drinking beverages, drinking wine, drinking wine and reading, stargazing, stargazing while drinking wine, hanging with my dog, not hanging out with you, not going to work, holidays, weekends, making people laugh, self deprecation.

I'd like to meet:

a bottomless wineskin with a good and skewed perspective on life.

Music:

built to spill, pavement, piebald, postman syndrome (day without dawn), nin, ambulance ltd, hella, helmet, sparks fly from a kiss, aviso hara, rollerskate skinny, stereolab, shellac, sufjan stevens, yo la tengo, toadies, dinosaur jr., slint, aphex twin, boards of canada, autolux, starflyer 59, silver jews, spiritualized, marble valley, grateful dead, greyboy allstars, robert walter, karl denson, bob dylan, sound tribe sector 9, particle, nine inch nails, tool, smashing pumpkins, les claypool, primus, beatles, herbie hancock, hendrix, zeppelin, the who, marley, granola funk express, jurrasic 5, atmosphere, and HUMA because that girl has the most awesome boots Ive ever freaking seen.

Movies:

breathless, weekend, contempt, battle of algiers, dr strangelove, mullholland drive, blue velvet, bottle rocket, big lebowski, fear and loathing in las vegas, life aquatic, team america, where the buffalo roam, resorvoir dogs, pulp fiction, office space, super troopers, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, family guy movie, being john malkovich and foreign films including anything and everything by Jean-Pierre Jeunet obviously including but not limited to amelie, la cité des enfants perdus and delicatessen, no mans land... anything freakish, mindbending, french, old(classic) or something that makes you think. my netflix list contains complete film snobbery, foreign language and indie movies that i couldnt afford, they dont carry at blockbuster.

Television:

tv is for suckers. that being said - family guy, simpsons, southpark, seinfeld, dave chapelle, and the preview channel so that i can find what channel family guy, simpsons, southpark, seinfeld or dave chapelle is on so i can watch them (since i dont watch tv i dont know what channel is what)

Books:

currently reading: unbearable lightness of being, against the day (new pynchon), and suite francaise (a book locked in a drawer for 60 years regarding the life of french peasants during WWII)
on the road and other beatnick titles, the sun also rises, vonnegut stuff, the house of leaves, A walk in the woods, electric kool-aid acid test, infinite jest, brief interviews with hideous men, a supposedly fun thing ill never do again, consider the lobster (d.f. wallace rules), gravity's rainbow, white noise, libra, underworld, the stranger.
been getting into poetry recently but still feeling my way around. so far interests include walt whitman, arthur rimbaud, charles baudelaire, david berman!!!!, john ashbery
the recognitions, ulysses and are on the list - although books usually end up cutting each other in line...and i have a feeling ulysses will be on the list for a long long time. I like book sales where I can walk out with 50 books that will take me a decade to finish but knowing I only spent 10 bucks.suggest me something.

Heroes:

Richard Dean Anderson, Chuck Norris, Kevin Smith, Austin Nichols - creator of Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon, the dead, bums who realize the that its not worth running the 'royal' wheel to get the cheese when they can just sit and ask for it and yell at you if you dont give it, linus torvalds, bjarne stroustroup, those who zig when told to zag, those who stand still when told to zig or zag or zug, those who hate authority, beer drinkers, coffee connoiseurs, wine aficionados, those who speak or appreciate french. bibliophiles.
