General
I mainline almost every kind of entertainment -- movies, TV, video games, books, etc. -- but am not a huge fan of the live music. I love really good food, like this or this, although I also sometimes get a hankering for huge portions or my favorite dessert.Music
I listen mainly to chicks who rock: Gwen Stefani, Pink, Evanescence, Fiona Apple, Jem, Madonna, 10, 000 Maniacs, Neko Case, PJ Harvey, Liz Phair, Sheryl Crow, The Pet Shop Boys (not chicks you say?). Amazingly, I am not gay. Go figure. I also enjoy odds and ends from all over the spectrum -- Snoop, Enya, NIN, Dixie Chicks -- yet feel that so much stuff on the radio these days kinda, well, completely blows.Movies
I'm a guy with half of a Computer Science degree
, so my faves are about what you'd expect: Fight Club, Blade Runner, The Matrix, The Game, Rounders, True Romance, Memento, Office Space, Wonder Boys, Dogma, Snatch, Swingers, Scream, Saw, Speed, Shawshank Redemption. Apparently any movie that starts with "S".I'm a sucker for a good romantic comedy -- Hugh Grant, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, this means you! -- but please see above re: sexual orientation.
There's your quirky indies: Freeway, The Opposite of Sex, Ruby in Paradise, Election, and yes, Lost in Translation; and there's your animation: Wallace & Gromit, Monsters, Inc., pretty much anything by Pixar. NOT Shrek. PDI can bite me.
Everything written by Charlie Kaufman or Aaron Sorkin, or directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Joss Whedon is a god among men but should stick to television.
And finally, for a real peek inside my head, my votes for the most underrated movies: Pleasantville, True Lies, The Village, Final Destination, Romy and Michele, and -- #1 with a bullet -- D.E.B.S.!
I have seen many, many films. My Netflix queue is almost 300 entries long. I am a walking, talking, IMDB. This does not bother me.
Television
Books
I'm also a compulsive reader! Soda cans, cereal boxes, if it's got words on it I'll read it. Oh, and also non-food items like...books! Some faves: David Foster Wallace (Infinite Jest!), Peter F. Hamilton, Thurdsay Next series (Harry Potter for adults!), Richard K. Morgan, Kyle Mills, Clancy, King, the list goes on and on and on.Heroes
My feline companion Otto, or "Mr. To". He went blind about two years ago, but you'd never know it. He still goes trapsing around the house, and if let outside will take off to explore the neighborhood. He's quite the trooper. I only wish I could be that cool.

About me:
I am a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in...well, no, I'm pretty much an open book. I'm a successful video game developer, an entrepreneur, and a future new-media mogul. I would also very much like to own a bar.
I love penguins, cats, and pretty much anything cute and furry, which generally does not include dogs. I adore good food, frequent chain restaurants and fast-food joints, am incapable of learning to cook, and prefer Fatburger to In-N-Out. I am the slowest eater you have ever met. I wish there were a real Tiki bar in town.
I know the difference between "your" and "you're", and that "height" and "width" do not rhyme. I wield my vocabulary like a deadly weapon, but generally try not to seriously injure anyone. I enjoy inventing new words. I have repeatedly tried to get friends to name their children “Versatile”. I have never succeeded.
I enjoy sporty cars of the Italian persuasion, and choose to believe that this is completely unrelated to my height, hairline, and manly equipment. I bought my last two cars online, the most recent one via eBay. Update: Needed more cars, so I founded a company where everyone can rent exotic cars in Vegas.
I am constitutionally unable to go to bed before 2 a.m., and only wake up before 8 a.m. when I set multiple alarms. I was born a few days ahead of schedule; that was the last time I was on time for anything, ever. I am a disaster at punctual replies to email.
I am a 100% religion-free atheist heathen. I am a perfectionist, a pragmatist, an idealist, and a realist. I try very hard not to judge others. I always vote Democratic, but am truly a libertarian at heart. I believe in legalizing just about everything. I did not vote for a single winner in the last election.
My name means “bad luck”, and my birthday is Christmas Eve. I claim that neither of these things bothers me. I am an excellent prevaricator. I have just posted a staggering amount of personal information in a public place. I will either immediately regret this and delete it, or will quickly forget about it entirely, for I am both a workaholic and an inveterate procrastinator.
Who I'd like to meet:
Interesting, intelligent, creative, fascinating open minded people. Those with common interests, and those who do things I know nothing about.
And from the fantasy category: Neve Campbell, Pauley Perrette, Reese Witherspoon, and particularly Paget Brewster. Oh, also Aaron Sorkin, so that I might steal his brain.
