About Me

In the house, I am.

My Interests

Music, art, design, reading, dry red wine, early church history and the evolution of the canon, foreign countries in general, Europe in particular, and Scandinavia if I'm being picky; East Prussia, The Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea, food and cooking, viruses and vaccines, the OPV Theory of HIV (yep, that's how it happened), Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, H5N1, History, wars (I don't believe in them most of the time, but they're fascinating), speaking foreign languages, especially after I've been drinking, Macintosh computers, Teh Interwebs, communication in general, mediation, etc. I have tons of interests and not nearly enough books.

I'd like to meet:

You.

Music:

This is always a hard one, because I have a range of musical interests, from gangsta rap to Italian opera. Stephan Pompougnac is my favorite DJ. Some current favorites are Avenue D, Thievery Corporation, 2 Live Crew, Kristin, Guadalupe Pineda, the Buddha Bar series, etc.

Movies:

Anything and everything by Michael Haneke, Memento, Michael Moore, anything French, Top Secret, Heat, Goodfellas, Casino, the Graduate, He Loves Me- He Loves Me Not, Documentaries, and so on. I hate Major Motion Pictures with their Product Placement, Topical Relevence, Social Engineering, and Throw Away One Liners. Oh, did I mention that I am a huge fan of every single frame of anything directed by Michael Haneke?

Television:

No. (Well, I'll admit that I like South Park and Family Guy, but TV is not a part of my life)

Books:

John Le Carre', David Sedaris, Paul Fussell, mostly non-fiction. I'm always reading something.
