I'd like to meet:

special agent dale cooper.
meatloaf.
fellow heads of organized crime families.
pirates and robots.

Music:

particularly indie pop, hardcore punk rock, and the old school hip hop. and sometimes things that are dark and creepy, a lot of times things that are twangy, and mostly things that are arty.

Movies:

i can sit through pretty much anything. the only thing i can't stand is that medieval bullshit. if there are knights or sorcerers, people in capes or cloaks drinking out of goblets or chalises, magic spells or potions, hybrid animals, or any of that other lame shit i will not watch it.

Television:

shows about sharks eating people or creatures of the sea or both. barbeque university with steven reichlen. dramas that showcase the plight of wealthy and attractive teenagers. shows in which autopsies are performed. explorations of string theory. days of our lives.

Books:

books about substanative things, but sometimes books about really trivial and inconsequential things. also biographies, pretentious literature, and occasionally essays, blogs, editorials, and such. i also really like pretty design magazines and, against my better judgment, have a weakness for trashy gossip columns.

Heroes:

"parker lewis can't lose" because, well, he couldn't lose. lita ford. the hamburgler. people with the ability and discipline to practice fiscal responsibility.
