My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to barbeque with Christopher Walken. I think he'd make a great next door neighbor. Matthew Fergusen is also invited to the cabin. I would love to meet Vaclav Havel, Steven Soderbergh, and Elie Wiesel. I would like to have a drink with Tim Russert (I'm buying) and I'll fetch cookies for Vince Passaro and Joshua Ferris while they work on their next book. And though I love everything Quentin Tarantino has done, I think I prefer to experience him solely through dvd special features.

Music:

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: The Monkees & Von Sudenfed

Movies:

Some all time favorite films: The Machinist, Jackie Brown, Jacob's Ladder, Hero, Harold & Maude, Mortal Kombat.

Television:

If William Shatner's not on it, don't bother.

Books:

Anything by Thomas Hardy, Ha Jin, Edgar Allan Poe, or Somerset Maugham. Some Daniel Quinn, Carl Sagan, & Douglas Coupland. CURRENTLY READING: various plays

Just past one week back from the 3 week holiday in London and France.  It was awful.  ...Okay, you got me, it was fantastic. We were overseas for only 2.5 weeks, beginning and ending with Lo...

new car

After what has to have been a year or so of complaining about the increasingly loud engine on the '03 Toyota Echo, we took it in to the shop for an oil change, and casually mentioned, "oh by the way.....

blood drive

Here's a question for any hematology buffs out there: Why haven't they developed a spot-test for mad-cow disease?  I want to donate blood, as I did until 2001.  Having spent 6 months in the ...

miss haversham

Finally cleaned off my desk, and tossed the flowers that were left over from my birthday.  I'd set them off to a corner in a vase, so I could get some work done, and forgot about them until they ...

Why is gardening nothing but pain and itching and sorrow?

communism considered

I have been reading up on Islam lately, to try to understand it, improve my BS-filter for taking in news stories.  Am in the extremely early stages of "getting it" but at least I feel better abou...

election day

Going to vote in the primary elections today.  Very exciting.  A rush from work to the parked car.  A dash onto the expressway.  2.5 hour drive if I'm lucky, going a little faster ...

landed gentry

This blog entry is not at all about automotive things (except in that when we go to the cabin, we drive there).  But I'm a little delighted that there is a category for blog posts called "automot...
