Slacking, sarcasm, bagels, driving around illegally in my new 87 Volvo, saving shoes and undies from being eaten by the dumber of two dogs, Super Mario Brothers, and when I feel motivated - painting and sculpting.
I'd like to meet:
I would still like to meet Chris Elliot.
Music:
Well - I met my husband at a bar over a Neutral Milk Hotel discussion. We broke up after hurricane Ivan, and got back together at a Crooked Fingers show, got engaged at a Jonathan Richman show, and got married at a Bingo! show. I think that sums it up pretty well.I love the local boys (The New Orleans Bingo! Show, The Happytalk Band, The Morning 40 Federation, plus all their brothers, sisters and cousins). I like geekie indie rock, fun rockin' alt country, and all the old fun stuff I listened to in high school. I just bought the new Ted Leo, and The Long Winters.
Movies:
I own and watch a lot - High Fidelity, Elf, Anchorman - Legend of Ron Burgundy, Wet Hot American Summer, 40 Year Old Virgin, Grandma's Boy.... and other silly things.
Really enjoyed, maybe own, but don't feel the need to watch daily - Jesus' Son, A Good Band is Easy To Kill, Shaun of the Dead, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Fargo....
Television:
Dead Like Me, Mr. Show, The Office, Earl, 30 Rock (you know - Thursday night), Arrested Development (just got the final season on DVD!), Wonderfalls, Scrubs, Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, Seinfeld reruns, The Daily Show (in those rare moments that I have cable), Six Feet Under, Family Guy....
Books:
I like stuff written by Laurie Notaro, TC Boyle, David Sedaris, Douglas Coupland, Roddy Doyle, Mary Karr, Augusten Burroughs, Dave Eggers (sometimes he's a bit much tho), McSweeney's/The Believer....
Heroes:
I guess she's not really my hero so much, but when I was fifteen I wanted to be Natalie Merchant. I also like the TV show Heroes.
