About Me

go bashar!

My Interests

It starts that you're a starry-eyed young hopeful, full of piss and vinegar and moving to Hollywood to chase the dream of making it big in showbiz. Then one day you wake up to find that for all your effort and sacrifice you're suddenly a middle-aged tweaker hooked on vicodin and the gym and you're strolling naked down a busy street in broad daylight carrying a BABY LEOPARD on your shoulders.

I'd like to meet:

robots that'll give me a heart attack

Music:

boom bap / nineties : anything produced by marley marl

Movies:

featuring: cool hand luke

Turner and Hooch

Television:

hand banana . the new john waters spousal murder show. in terms of sheer hours logged viewing, c-span and the newshour, cumulatively over the last 15 years, certainly best all others by a wide margin, closely followed by the simpsons. this is mostly due to the fact that there have been multiyear stretches during which i did not have regular access to an actual television set, but also reflects sheer preference.

Heroes:

my uncle mike shernoff. this herculean man has beaten hiv for 25 years, had an amazing career as a teacher, psychoanalyst, and writer, and is now beating back cancer, too.
