About Me

I really like a lot of things and a lot of people. That's kind of what I do.

My Interests

shows. books. redheads. beards. slide guitar. harmonica. road trips.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Sedaris and Burroughs, Robert Smith, Adam Duritz, and lately, Chuck Klosterman.
I would love to meet you, if you're the type who doesn't think it's childish to be giddy over others' work. and yes, count me in if you're brilliant and witty too.

Music:

the honorary title, saves the day, bright eyes, the format, counting crows, rx bandits, kevin devine, wolf parade, the get up kids, ryan adams, regina spektor, elton john, matt pond pa, cursive, journey, minus the bear, steel train, the weakertans koufax, limbeck, manchester orchestra, mason proper.

Movies:

buffalo 66. say anything. dirty dancing.

Television:

house, 21 jumpstreet, scrubs, weeds, dexter, heroes, and monk.

Books:

I love David Sedaris! (who doesn't?) and Salman Rushdie, Jonathan Tropper, Dave Eggers, and am wildy obsessed with anything penned by Augusten Burroughs... 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' will probably always be listed as one of my favorites, as it is with almost everyone my age. Kurt Vonnegut puts crazy, crazy thoughts into my head. I'm not sure how I feel about his work somedays, but I know he's great. ...aside from that, anything i can get my hands on, really.

Heroes:

chris conley. & my cat conley, who's probably way more perverted and strange than the man she's named after.

Old enough to know better, young enough to pretend.

Four Minute Mile has been in constant rotation in my car these last couple weeks. I don't exactly know why, but I'm not exaggerating when I say I've listened to the album as a whole at least ten times...

jersey gave birth to everything wonderful on this planet.

Well, Jersey and New York. But that's only because New York is so close to New Jersey, and is easily influenced. Yet, this blog has very little to do with either of them, aside from this short an...
