Science. Hiking. Computers. Books. Not comics, I'm not that kind of nerd. Sorry. Trivia. History. You fall asleep yet? Sports. Especially sports with lots of numbers, like baseball. Cooking, a bit.
Trance, Alternative Rock, White Stripes, The Strokes, DJ Tiesto, Gabriel&Dresden, Tool, Weezer, Queens of the Stone Age, Morrissey, The Smiths, Splashdown, Little Red Car Wreck, Portishead, The Shins, Rise Against, Silver Sun Pickups....that genre.
Movies
Donnie Darko, Office Space, The Shawshank Redemption, Contact, Silence of the Lambs, Requiem for a Dream, Glory, Gladiator, American Beauty, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, Dude Where's My Car, Little Miss Sunshine
Television
Mythbusters, Good Eats, Family Guy, CSI, L&O, The Shield, West Wing, Studio 60, Weeds, random stuff on Discovery, History Channel, Dirty Jobs, Futurama that kind of stuff. Nerd stuff. Yep.
Books
I read a ton of books. Lots of sci-fi. Because it's fun. Chick Lit is to fashionistas as sci-fi is to geeks. But I don't read fantasy. I also read anything Jared Diamond writes. I read assorted history non-fiction. I'll read cookbooks if they sound like a good theme. Books on tape are worthless to me, because I can read faster than them.
Heroes
Thomas Paine. Galileo. Copernicus. Isaac Newton. Thomas Jefferson. Robert F. Kennedy. My mother. My father. My brother. Anyone who overcomes their flaws, who says "there's got to be a better way" and anyone who tries to better themselves and the world around them. I'm serious about those.
About me: Since no one is reading this, I could put anything here. Who's gonna call me on it? I dare you. Didn't think so. All I hear lately is "Oh, I only accept friends I know, I get too many messages on myspace, I can't even use it." Well, I get none, so no one is reading this. So about me? I'm like a superhero, only more like the mild-mannered alter-ego. In fact, Clark Kent is the perfect description. Like in the one movie where he loses his powers, and is just Clark Kent. That's me. I'm the excitement of a crusty republican, except I'm a total liberal.
Who I'd like to meet: Lois Lane. Actually I don't even like Superman. Batman is more my style. At least he was a normal person, with cool toys. Not some alien. Superman was an alien. Think about that for a while. So I guess not Lois Lane, since she's a xenophiliac. Yeah, now it sounds dirty doesn't it. Since I'm a geek, a dork, a nerd, whatever you want to call it, why fight this question? You know what I'm going to say. Kari Byron types. Natalie Portman in Garden State types. Maybe even Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine types. Oh and Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation, which I guess really means Sofia Coppola. Actually, you know what would be nice? Rita Hayworth. Like Jack White says, "She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair - And that was all that I needed." Mary-Louise Parker is an absolute bombshell as well.
Actually, my area was evacuated this morning.... but lucky for me, I was in Pasadena... of course, I don't know when I will actally be able to go home.... but thanks for thinking of me... I am totally fine! Cheers!
