Interests

  • General

    I'm an entertainment junkie by nature who actually lucked into a job that allows me to sit in a room with my best friend and watch television. Living in what I like to call "New York City's favorite suburb" allows me to have all the fun of the Big Apple without actually living in it... which would probably result in me being a drug-addicted, alcoholic tramp. Not that that doesn't sound like a good time... but I mean, a person does have to get some work done on occasion, right? Big fan of all things entertainment related. Also love restaurants (I mean, who doesn't like to eat, right?), reading (not that there is EVER enough time), writing and generally spending time with friends (or enemies... sometimes verbal sparring can be more fun than a borin' old debate about the war...)

  • Music

    A little bit of everything, but I'll have to admit to being biased toward music made by the group almost charlie (myspace.com/almostcharlie). Give 'em a listen. Other favs: Enigma * The Ditty Bops * Spencer Day * Alex Boyd * soundtracks of all sort * The Wild Party * television themes * mono * john mayer * anything danceable *

  • Movies

    I may be the only person I know who didn't like Brokeback Mountain. Sorry, but as my pal Eric sat there weeping through it, I thought, "Geez... I've seen this movie a thousand times before. Am I supposed to think that because it's a gay love story that's enough to make it different, let alone the movie of the year?" Not for this cowpoke. Then again, I consider Showgirls to be one of the best movies ever made. Seriously! Has there ever been another movie that you could pop into the DVD player and randomly select a scene and be guaranteed to enjoy on some level? (Sure, most of those levels involve mocking, but still...) Love horror films (especially that odd genre from the 70's which are foreign, but pretend to be taking place in America and involve lots of mediocre dubbing), but insist they make sense (don't even get me started on High Tension). Rarely go to the actual movies if only because today's audiences ruin the experience. (Sorry, but I didn't pay $10.50 to listen to you talk on the cell phone or shout suggestions to the folks on screen. Um, THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU!)

  • Television

    It might be easier to list what I don't watch than what I do. For starters, if it has a continuing storyline (and isn't One Tree Hill), I'm pretty much there. And once I fall for a show, I usually am in it for the duration, no matter how bad it gets (I'm talking to you, Gilmore Girls!). I'm also a big fan of Law & Order: SVU (but can't stand Criminal Intent), The Office (thanks for the renewal, NBC!), Lost, Heroes, 24... like I said, I'm a sucker for continuing storylines. And yes, that includes the soaps. Oh, and I once was a devoted fan of Dr. Phil... although these days, he annoys me as often as not.

  • Books

    Currently reading a wonderful book by Laura Lippmann called To The Power Of Three. On the eliptical, I'm usually reading the latest copy of New York magazine, which is my favorite publication out there. I have a huge stack of books waiting to be read, but after spending my day editing, it's a hard sell to come home and do anything but vege in front of the tube (explaining why there's so much listed under "television" but not much under books...)

  • Heroes

    Homer Simpson for finding someone who loves him unconditionally despite... well, everything. Gives one hope, huh?

Networking

  • I'm a magazine editor with an interest in all things entertainment related. I'm also just finishing my first attempt at a book, which is sort of a humorous diatribe against the fall of modern civilization.

  • Wrote two episodes of a show called DRP, the story of a group of women in various stages of relationships who are searching for their Divine Right Partners. Think Sex & The City if the women were more interested in the pursuit of love than chasing af

About me:

Before we go any further, you should know I will always buy the first round. I'll usually buy the second, too. After that, you can tell me it's my turn to buy and I probably won't know the difference. We now return to our previously scheduled introduction... Magazine editor by day, writer by night who is putting the finishing touches on my attempt to use humor as a last attempt to bring civility back to a world that is all-too-rapidly descending into a quagmire brought about by man's inhumanity to man. Wait, don't stop reading... um, I'm more than "that guy raging about how rude we've all become." What else can I tell you... let's see... *I always root for the underdog. *I tend to glare at people who park in handicap zones or abuse their pets. * I'm one of the few people I know who loves their job. No, really! * I'm an intoxicating blend of entertainment trivia, mindless fluff, wildly inept attempts at intelligent banter and just a dash of cinnamon. Yeah, it's both tasty and addictive, and so am I. * Popcorn is my favorite meal. (Hey, it's cooking... you have to add heat). * I like smart, funny people. Sadly, I don't have much tolerance for folks who don't have at least one of those qualities. * Yeah, I like Disney. Not the cheesy movies, but the parks. What of it? (I counter trips to the House of Mouse with all-out gambling/boozefests in Vegas. Yeah, I'm just that kind of a living oxymoron guy.) * I love kids. Mainly on Halloween, when they knock on the door, say "trick or treat" and then leave. Beyond that, there should be meds involved for either them or me. Better still, both. * There ain't much on television that I haven't at least sampled. I watch more in a week than I'd ever care to admit. (On the other hand, rare is the person I've come into contact with that I couldn't converse about some form of entertainment. Oh, sure, there was that one guy who only watched Japanese animated cartoons, but other than that...) I proudly watch Iron Chef without ever thinking, "Damn, I should try and make that." And like many others, I watch Law & Order looking for tips on how to commit the perfect murder. * Ask, and I'll probably tell. Eventually. (Except about that night behind the bar. There's a reason I was driven out of Binghamton on a rail, and it's between me and... um, I choose not to continue this statement on the grounds that it might incriminate several people.)

Who I'd like to meet:

... my evil doppelganger. Think of all the fun we can have playing tricks on people! He can do horrible things while I provide us with the perfect alibi! Other than that, I am completely unoriginal in that I, like the rest of the world, would like to meet "cool" people. Of course, coolness is like beauty in that it's in the eye of the beholder. If, however, you think you might qualify, step on up. I also wouldn't mind meeting a like-minded bloke who might like to drink fairly heavily, watch the world go by and make random comments about those who make the mistake of crossing our rapier-like wits. (If not that, then maybe some guy who's kinda dumb but nice to look at and fond of alcohol-fueled make-out sessions).

    Just thought you should know that almost my entire day's sustenance thus far has been 1 medium sized bag of the 40% reduced fat Cape Cod chips! I'm in the middle of moving into a new house and tomorrow is the moving day so today I was just too busy for any meals so at 3 different times today I snacked on chips and now the bag is almost gone! At least I am doing tons of work to burn them off, lol.
    This is all your fault though!

    LM*Christmas*AO!!!

    You finally broke down and got a custom profie page. What is the world coming to??

    It's 1:41 am Christmas eve - or actually Christmas morning and I'm still up waiting for my damn cinnamon buns to rise.

    I'm also up because, after all the festivities of tonight were said and done, there were a few special people I wanted to acknowledge and you were top of my list.

    I've been thinking about you guys so much lately, hoping everything is fabulous in the House of Thruple.

    And I'm wanting to wish you, my dear friend and soul brother, Richard, the most beautiful and peaceful of holidays.

    Even though neither of us is on Myspace very much, let's make a promise and a commitment to stay in touch.

    Glamdammit, now that I've had you in my world, I know that a world without you wouldn't be even an iota of as fabulous!

    Please send my love and good wishes to OMC and Puck.

    All the love in the world,

    Mave

    My dearest Dick Richard,
    I had to put up a full frontal nudity picture up on my website because someone stole something VERY precious to me.

    You missed it last time, so just letting you know.

    Wouldn't you find it a trifle gauche if someone new to your MSP came roaring in here and started blathering about the way your ultra-exciting profile jazzed her up to the point that she now felt like a meth-addled hummingbird?

    Neither would I.
