Just listen.

About Me

I tend bar and write, edit and publish a magazine called The Skinny in my spare time.

My Interests

Music - listening to it, writing about it, going to shows (anything but playing it because it's better if I don't), finding new music that moves me like it used to; travel, drummers, movies, my cat, writing, dancing, mad libs, wine, reading, road trips, cooking, learning, working on my plan to take over the world

I'd like to meet:

Whoever comes up with a way to shut off useless trains of thought.

Music:

In no particular order ... Stereo Total, Outhud, Cheb i Sabbah, Peaches, bossa nova, Regular Fries, Flaming Lips, Pixies, Ministry, Damned, Toy Dolls, Eagles of Death Metal, Supergrass, Ween, Cocteau Twins, Faint, Loquat, Truxton, Death Cab, Verve, Pulp, Suede, PJ Harvey, Cardigans, Bjork, Le Tigre, Saint Etienne, Cure, New Order, ABBA (shut up), Bombay the Hard Way, Portishead, Stone Roses, Mogwai, Super Furry Animals ...

Movies:

Dangerous Liaisons, Delicatessen, The Professional, Diabolique, An American Werewolf in London, Repulsion, The Young Poisoner's Handbook, Brain Candy, Shaun of the Dead, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Mars Attacks, Waiting for Guffman, True Romance, Pootie Tang, Memento, Office Space, Stranger Than Fiction

Books:

A Confederacy of Dunces - the first book I didn't have to review that I've finished in a long time. Also love anything by Tom Robbins, Douglas Coupland, Amy Sedaris, David Sedaris, Daniel Handler and Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho. House of Leaves was cool. I haven't finished Wigfield yet, but I love me a book with pictures!

Heroes:

People who are living their dreams because they worked hard for it.

Another great way to waste time

While doing a random Google search to see if there's anywhere in town to take a woodworking class (I'm feeling crafty), I stumbled on a pretty cool website, called 43 Things.com. It's a site where you...

My TODO horoscope

If you guys aren't familiar with TODO, you should check it out ... or not, since they're doing some of the things we do in The Skinny - recommending places to go in the city, etc - without the profile...
