I'm interested in the mixology and consumption of alcoholic beverages and in enjoying said interests with good friends. Playing cards. Good music, books, and film. I am always up for a game of golf or a day up in the mountains snowboarding.
Tom Waits.

I LOVE movies! Slow character driven stories like Paris Texas, and Monster's Ball. BIG movies like Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, and Wild at Heart. A few films get me all choked up every time I watch them: Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, American History X, Never Cry Wolf..., I enjoy Wes Anderson's style and humor (Rushmore is the best!) and the darkness and cinematography of Darren Aronofsky's PI and Requiem for a Dream. Copolla, the Cohen bros (just about everything, especially Miller's Crossing and Raising Arizona), Kubrick, and more recently Ang Lee. And how could I forget, The Princess Bride (sorry Heather).
Not a big fan really. I enjoy Project Runway ...Poker ...whenever there's a good movie on TV or maybe some good TV on DVD.
Ayn Rand (Atlas), Steinbeck (East of Eden and Grapes), Ken Kesey (Cuckoo's Nest and Sometime's a Great Notion), Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club and Lullaby), Les Miserables, Tolkien, Geek Love, 1984, Dahlgren, A Clockwork Orange, Seabiscuit was great!, books I was forced to read in high school (Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm)..
