About Me

I take everything exactly literally.

My Interests

Owls, avoiding TMJ, certain types of pie, making wishlists on the internet, morning angriness, museums, coffee, music, travel, dance-parties, being creative, mammals, aurora borealis, movie popcorn, animals that look like loaves of bread (small or large) or otherwise ridiculous, efficiency, avian malaria, npr, hiking around, oh good lord cheese, pacific islands, certain types of sushi, the desert, most types of vinegar, mammoth lakes, golden moles, buddhism, cicadas, prosimians, with a special emphasis on tarsiers, franzia or champagne, coccydynia, my cat Tarantula, loggerhead shrikes, Klimt, whatever sir. david attenborough wants me to be interested in, marfa lights, teen girl squad, silky anteaters, three-toed sloths (not two toed!), steak, turquoise, parasites that can control the nervous system of their host, illustration, brightly colored shoes, collecting fabric-y wall things, blue rooms, This American Life, old people, wolves, Africa, lists, found.com, dressing up, creatures of the open ocean and/or deep, watching things unfold..

I'd like to meet:

In honor of Bad Santa; the talking walnut. Bikini girls with machine guns.

Music:

Whatever my neighbors feel is appropriate to share with the entire neighborhood.

Movies:

Many more than Greg Miller approves of watching.

Television:

The Office. Amazing Race. Laguna Beach. America's Next Top Model. On demand is such a mind bogglingly wonderful thing, forrrr about 4 hours until I run through all the Curb Your Enthusiasms.

Books:

McSweenballs, Carver, Franzen (new book unread; could eat my words), Sapolsky, Eliot, Watterson, Dinesen, Eggers, Mowat, Rushdie, Woolf, Sedaris, Vonnegut - most modern classics really, excluding earlier, stodgy, period-type things. Janet Fang, if she ever joins the devil's website, will puke when she reads this.
