I also like movies with lots of hidden symbolism, and ones that are like giant jigsaw puzzles. You know, the ones that take watching them five times or researching on the internet to completely understand. And ones with characters I actually like. It's rare, but those are the ones I love to come home and watch at night. I wish I could make a list of all of them, but I have a horrible memory when it comes to film titles.

I HATE MTV.
vh-1 classic is ok though.
I have an extensive collection of textbooks.
Ancient piano books.
A reference section worthy of its own decimal system.
If I had time to read every book I own, I would be an expert at EVERYTHING.
My pinko dogs have destroyed every piece of Reagan literature in my apartment.
I read a lot of news articles.
Fiction.. not so much. maybe one day when I have more time.
Here's my card.
..I'll call you.
