Kona

I once drove a rental car into the Hudson just so I could practice escaping.

About Me

There are only three proper uses of the word, "y'all:" 1. In song lyrics ("I'm gonna try not to fall down while I'm singing for y'all,") 2. In the course of a Britney Spears impression ("Hey y'all, I finally dumped my cornrowed, manpri wearing, no-talent husband! Woo-hoo! Justin, call me!") 3. In the phrase, "Fuck all y'all."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Look, if you haven't checked out g14 productions yet, then--well, there's nothing after that because there's no excuse. So do it now. Still resisting? Just look at this: The 80s Son--it's the best/worst thing I've seen in a long time. I actually got a little teary when I watched it.

Music:

Old 97's, Rhett Miller, Jason Mraz, Drive-By Truckers, Jay-Z, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Kanye West, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Blackstar, Beyonce, Neil Diamond, Liz Phair, Alicia Keys, The Killers, Weezer, Elvis Costello, The White Stripes, N*E*R*D, The Neptunes, Pharrell, The Pixies, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jimmy Buffett, Amy Winehouse, the jukebox at Yogi's.

Movies:

Any Wes Anderson movie, but especially The Royal Tenenbaums, aka "the best movie ever." I don't feel like naming all of the movies I like--so we'll go with movies that I love forcing on people who come to my house: Dreamcatcher, Gigli, and soon, V for Vendetta.

Television:

Veronica Mars, Amazing Race, Gilmore Girls, 24, Lost, Alias, The Office (both versions,) Scrubs, The Shield, Arrested Development, Many many hours of Tivo'd Law & Order: SVU.

Books:

The books that my dad buys at the grocery store and gives to me when he's finished because I'm too poor/cheap to buy books. There's a lot of Dean Koontz involved. Okay, I've read some good books lately, so here they are: The God of Small Things, A Long Way Down, Why Moms Are Weird, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Devil in the White City.

Yes indeed.

Whose house? Run's House.

Okay. All I'm saying is this: when you deny my obvious Trivial Pursuit prowess and claim that I only beat you because you were hungover and then talk about how Scrabble is your game anyway and you nev...

Many people, when they have a bad week, turn to the sweet, comforting embrace of alcohol to make themselves feel better. While I see nothing objectively wrong with curling up with your good friends Ja...

He's got money, the money I deserve

What I love most about this Rhett Miller performance of "The New Kid" is the camerawork. It takes me straight back to TV-3 and working the noon show on a Friday that had a musical guest. "Okay, camer...

There's a reason it's not called "Project BFF."

I'm not a Jeffrey fan. I've been quite clear about this over the entire third season of Project Runway. He's mean, arrogant and his boorish "the world owes me something" attitude reminds me of a certa...

Sooo pretty...

Okay, so, I understand that it's not polite to assume that I'm automatically better than you because I live in New York. I get that. All I'm saying is that last night I left work, got on a train, and ...

It's your time to shine!

I hate buying certain things. Every time I go to buy socks, underwear or deoderant I get pissed off. It's not so much the act of buying these things that bothers me, as it is the idea that I actually ...

Holy balls; I am a badass.

After a friday night that kicked my ass and caused a hangover that lasted into Saturday evening, I rallied in a way in which I have never rallied before. Not only did I go out dancing, but I stayed o...
