Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com
Doorways and two lane highways. Black and white photography. Hops and grapes. Listmaking. Anything I don't have to try on. Wining it up on the weekends. Laughing with and at my family. Freckles and dimples. Grub and talking about grub. Gustatory indulgence at the three best places in STL: Iron Barley, Atlas, and Blues City Deli. Hot coffee and sourdough. Chair and table dancing. Cat naps, and long, impromptu Sunday drives with fried chicken at the end.
-Those who laugh loudly and often. Snorting is a plus, and will endear you to me forever.I'd really like to meet anyone who will admit that they loathe "Grey's Anatomy." Surely such people exist.Someone who'll name a sandwich after me.The other person who loved "I Heart Huckabees" and "Men Don't Leave."I'm also looking for people to help me create a new think tank. I'm just not sure what we'll think about. (Imperialists need not apply).Oh, and Steve Martin, Willie Nelson, George Carlin, Helen Thomas, David Gregory, Christopher Hitchens, Tina Fey, Eli Whitney, Fred Ward, Albert Brooks, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Charles Barsotti, and Roz Chast.People I don't want to meet:Anyone with nothing but skanks on his page, unless of course, you're Bill Maher.People who make use of the world "Holla."People who gleefully claim "I CAN read, I just don't."

A Prayer for Owen Meaney, The Conquest of Happiness, My Secret History, For the Sake of Argument, Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?, The Giant's House, Here's Your Hat; What's Your Hurry?, The Worldy Philosophers, Impossible Vacation. Pretty much everything by Barbara Ehrenreich, Christopher Hitchens, Paul Theroux, The Sedaris Family, Fran Leibowitz, and Anthony Lane.Currently, I'm halfway through George Packer's excellent "The Assassin's Gate" about America in Iraq. Check it out--you'll be glad you did. I'm also still slogging through Rebecca West's "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon" (it's only been 5 years!) and Richard Dawkins' "The Ancestor's Tale".I have a serious magazine problem. I love the feel, look, and smell of them. Have you seen Stop Smiling? They're on line at stopsmilingonline.com.
