I am here for Friends

About Me

I share a birthday with Michael York, James Callaghan, Austin Pendleton, Mariah Carey, Nathan Fillion, Quentin Tarantino, Budd Schulberg, Gloria Swanson, Randall Cunningham, and Edward Steichen. I have never lived outside of Pennsylvania. My body temperature vascillates wildly. The farthest west I've ever been is Los Angeles. I usually don't write in Hemingwayesque sentences. I prefer B&W celluloid. Almost all my CDs are old. I made it 724 pages into Infinite Jest before throwing it against the wall for the final time. David Strathairn bought me dinner this one time, which impresses few. I don't eat enough fruit. I'm a hesitant auteurist. I lose touch with friends easily. Had I written a great, already-existing novel, it would have been The Adventures of Augie March. I drink gallons of water a day. I know you can't catch up on sleep. I once danced in a fountain while warbling "Wonderwall" for a pack of smokes. I can't explain my cinemania, but I have theories. I've never worn a necklace.

I will blog here no more forever

At one point I had four (4) blogs going. I've now decided to pare it down to at least two, though only one will be viewable by anyone other than myself. From now on, if it's my very distinct flair f...
