About Me

I talk to myself on TV. I'll talk to you too, if you're into that kind of thing...

My Interests

I'm obsessed with pop-culture in a way that borders on substance-abuse. I'm a political strategy geek but from the far left, in the saddest of quixotic fashions. I love bohemian hip-hop and I shall forever search for the great Hip-Hop LP(Paul's Boutique, Aquemeni, and Buhloone Mindstate are close). I love going out to see movies and I like my movies made for grown-ups or made for kids. Give me 70s American cinema or Pixar and the Muppets but I want none of this made for adult12 year-olds/Michael Bay/Bruckheimer bullshit. I am a romantic idealist with an acid tongue and theaters are my churches.
