If you want to friend me, that's great, but at least send me a message introducing yourself at the same time or I will automatically deny you. And if you're local, let's plan on actually meeting. Being internet friends is really not that cool.

Movies:

I do enjoy the movies.

Netflix owns.

As long as Nicholas Cage or Meg Ryan isn't in it, I'll probably like it.

Television:

I don't have cable. Or even regular network tv. I'm trying to preserve at least a few brain cells. The old noggin deserves it after all the damage I inflicted upon it in my early 20's.
However, if I were to watch tv...say at a bar or via Netflix, this is what I would watch:

AbFab
Strangers with Candy
Venture Brothers
Buffy
Carnivale
Dirty Jobs
Firefly
Invader Zim
Cash Cab
anything on the Discovery Channel

Books:

All of them. I like to read.
All time favorites, in no particular order:
No Logo, Naomi Klein
You Are Being Lied To and Everything You Know is Wrong, Disinformation Society
The Alienist, Caleb Carr
Fun Home, Alison Bechdel
Point and Line to Plane, Wassily Kandinsky
Listen Up, ed. Barbara Findlen
We Live to Fly Paint Again, Lester Polakov
House of Leaves, Mark Z. Danielewski
Cities People Planet, Herbert Girardet
A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking
The Social History of Art, Vol 1-4, Arnold Hauser
Magical Thinking, Augusten Burroughs
The Alchemist and Veronika Decides to Die, Paulo Coelho
A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn
Cradle to Cradle, W. McDonough and M. Braungart
Bitch magazine
The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky
And in general, the works of:
Noam Chomsky
Howard Zinn
Hermann Hesse
Francis Ching
bell hooks
Kurt Vonnegut
David Sedaris
Franz Kafka
Friedrich Nietzche
and many, many others...

So, maybe possibly things might be looking up a bit. Although that guy who came *this close* to promising me a job never did call me back, even when I tried to contact him, I now seem to have a couple...
