About Me

I am sitting in the gutter trying to get that feeling I had when I was 20 and free and full of possibility.

My Interests

Yes, I am interested. But not in the $50 membership fee. I'd be interested in having that refunded as soon as possible.

I'd like to meet:

Dr. Fresh

There Will Be Blood: Thomas the Tank Engine Edition

Music:

Will Oldham, Tom Waits, Radiohead, Greg Brown, Wilco, Bright Eyes, Mary Lobb, Ping Island/Lightning Strike Rescue Op, Ryan Adams' "oh my sweet carolina"

Movies:

I like shallow movies. With no interesting plot or character depth, nobody who does anything interesting, or has any trouble in their life what so ever.

Television:

from greek, tele- meaning far and vision- to see

Books:

Jesus' Son, Everything is Illuminated, How to Be Alone, Underworld (even though it took me three years to read), A Heart Breaking Work of Staggering Genius, Sexing the Cherry, Slauter House 5, Brief Interveiws with Hideous Men. have you read What is the What? it was great. Really. And i know this doesn't count as a book, but you should check out McSweeny's Internet Tendency. There is a hard copy published semi quarterly (i.e. whenever the publishers get around to it), but the internet version is much cheaper. Here's a link: www.mcsweeneys.net

Heroes:

Daniel, Jarret, Mary and Barbara. Christine and Graham. Julia Galloway. Ghandi. David Foster Wallace. Steve Zissou.
