Many, and heavy. Ask!
I'd like to meet:
1. You: you enjoy openly mocking people or overwhelm me with intelligence or aesthetics. I feel like dating.
2. NPR interviewer Terry Gross.
P.S. Send a message before you add. It's easy unless you're handless and use feet and a straw to surf the Web. In that case, Steve Hawking, you're too ugly to be in my top 12 anyway. SORRIES.

Movies:
I love good movies and want to make them. Hal Ashby is one of my favorite directors, as is David Lynch. If I could Fellini myself I'd never leave my apartment. PT Anderson, Robert Altman, the Coens, Roger Waters, Wong Kar Wai, Francis Ford Coppola, Stanley Kubrick, and Marty Scorsese also float my boat.
Television:
Californication, LARRY SANDERS SHOW, Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School, the Riches, Weeds, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Futurama, Battlestar Galactica, Arrested Development (RIP), Adult Swim, The X-Files, old Simpsons, anything on Comedy Central without Carlos Mencia/Dane Cook/the Blue Collar fucks
Books:
I read them and you should too. Tom Robbins and Hunter S. Thompson rule the roost for now. Sarah Vowell, David Sedaris, and Dave Eggers are fantastic. More are always on the way - I have a cruel Amazon used book addiction.
I've read the introductions to too many books.
I've recently discovered I adore Augusten Burroughs and David Rakoff. They are my new favorite middle-aged queens in the world.
